I have both and love the 17, but the price of ammo had me pulling out the marlin 39a, this summer for gophers. another rant. We have friends in texas that can buy 17 ammo for $12/50 even with exchange rates about even we are $16-$20/50. free trade? they won't shipp across either.Hornady came out with 22 mag bullets pumped up to 2400 fps and about $8/50 maybe the best of both worlds.And the wind drastically affects the 17 bullets, the lighter 17gr v-max it is really noticeable.
