I have been thinking about getting a new rifle because it has been awhile since I have gotten a rifle. I want to get either a 223 or 22 mag or 17 hmr. I have a 17 hmr but I would like to put a scope on one and the 17 I have is more functional without a scope. So here's my question: should I get a ruger American in 223 or a Henry golden boy in 17 hmr. Because I want to put a scope on it,should i get the 24" barrel frontier model in 22 mag or get a 223 and wait for the frontier model in 17hmr seems how I would rather have that instead of 22 mag but I don't have a 22 mag...... As you can see I have a lot of different thoughts but I just want to know what the advantage of getting each one is.
