My brother in law has a Remington 700 in .17 Remington and made a lot of money out of it when fox skins were good. He bought a Torana G-Pak with the money. Remember them ?

I used it for about a year and loved it. I found the Remington 25 grain opened a little quicker than the Hornady which I kept for goats.

I haven't used the lighter projectiles and with Calicivirus decimating rabbits out my way, can't see the use for them.

Great cartridge.

I have a 17 remington model 700 BDL. It will drive tacks at 200 yards or less. If it is real windy or rainy it doesn't perform as well, I use a 25 gn pointed hollow point by remington at around 3900fps. I shoot varmits with it in texas all the time,, since then they have come out with a 17hmr that does not have the speed or the performance but a box of 50 shells is cheap,, great "plinking" gun. The 204 ruger is getting most of the small caliber attention now for varmits here in Texas
