Nice work! Gotta love that little 17HMR; amazing performance from such a small round.
Here's a blast from the past, way back in 1980 when I was out for rockchucks with my Sako Vixen 223. The old boy shown weighed in at 16.5 lbs, and was one of the largest shot that season. Shot with a 50gr Nosler Soft-point over H335 (way before the BT came out). Still have that little Sako Vixen.
This was a good morning with my Anschutz 17HMR resulting in 8 rockchucks on a local ranch here. All one-shot kills with the little HMR, quite the amazing little cartridge.
The weather is going into full spring, so more adventures for us all soon.

Nice Job Rick. Here's No. 3 on day 4. Biggest one yet, and my dogs wanted a picture too.

OH, is that objective bell touching the barrel? If not, it sure looks like it is.
I like 'em low over the bore too; reduces any canting effects and just plain looks better than a honking high mounted scope.
My Cooper 20VT M38 Varmint wearing a Leupold VX3 LR 6.5-20X 40mm, mounted in low Leupold rings. Barely clears the barrel, about as low as I can get it.
Sometimes I wonder how many squirrels and rockchucks this baby has sent into that alfalfa patch in the sky.
