I know to some it probably sounds like a stupid question. Those don't need to reply. I have rifles ranging from 22 LR to 270 Win and just trying to figure out what to do with this 17WSM. IMO, not enough gun for coyotes and way to much for squirrels. I have a 22K-Hornet and a 223 as well as 22-250AI so coyote rifles are pretty much covered. I don't hunt squirrels so that doesn't matter much. I bought it more of an impulse buy, added a nice stock and bed the action and now just wonder what to do with it. LOL Granted, its fun to shoot and pretty accurate to but I'm just not sure if I want to hang on to it or maybe trade or sell it and get something I'll use more.
