Years ago and even up until last year I had never considered buying anything smaller than .22 because I'm not a competitive shooter and I don't have property infested with varmints. However, I'm always interested in something different and I do appriciate seeing five shots that all touch at 50 yards or are under an inch at 100.
Same thing applies with handguns, but the additional perk of reduced recoil is always one that has my attention.
I will say that due to the lower ammo cost the HM2 interests me more than the HMR, not that I'd be shooting thousands of rounds of either, but for simple paper punching I don't see what would make HMR a better choice; the only benefit it has is it has more ammo choices than .17 HM2 and the omnipresent belief that less popular calibers will forever someday disappear does have a reason to be considered as we're talking about rimfire here.
What are the thoughts on .17 rifles and revolvers? Would you buy a .17 HM2 today even tho its future is uncertain?
