Re: Rifles | .17 HMR Lever Action Rifle
I voted excellent because it is a nice model with great animations. What it is designed to do it does do very well. However it is also very loud (as is the real thing) so may not always be the best tool in the toolbox.

Re: Rifles | .17 HMR Lever Action Rifle
Compared to the Plinks versatility and functionality its trash. It may have more power and no drop but thats not needed for the small game u want to hunt with it. Shooting the bigger end of its permission needs surgical precision otherwise its lack luster. Reload animatiom is well made and nicely animated but just horribly long imo and i cant stand it + i dont like its sound.
Rated very poor.
Only rifle i regret buying even tho i own some guns that i close to never use.
I hated the .303 classic rifle at first but found a way to make it useful ( when i took it out rarely ) - but the .17 will rot in my lodges rack until the end of time ... or when i have maxed all the shotguns and my plink and run out of options if i ever get to that point
I tryed hard to like it and tryed to take it out when it was new.

I rated poor because artic fox seem to run for miles with a slightly poor shot. Sometimes almost zero blood trail,but that could be because snow covering them. Also I can hit animals near max rendering range while running but I inexplicably shot high on a fox 35m away,Fun gun but I jumped at the semi auto .223 when it was on sale.love the .17 for long range waterfowl.

Re: Rifles | .17 HMR Lever Action Rifle
I wonder if they changed the spook range on this with the last patch?
Last night I was on LP & brought the 17 along just because I hadnt used it in awhile. I shot a rabbit with a doe 130ish M away (she was walking towards me & the last time I measure she was 138m away). A few sec later I fired & she didnt spook.

Re: Rifles | .17 HMR Lever Action Rifle
depending on score animals react differently to the shooting distance. 130m could be absolutly ok. had it with me just a few hunts back, didnt notice any difference

Re: Rifles | .17 HMR Lever Action Rifle
Rated poor as it is too weak for consistent results on foxes. It is very unforgiving except on exact shot placements. Also, I find it too loud compared to the 70-80m spook radius of the .22.

Re: Rifles | .17 HMR Lever Action Rifle
I don't own this rifle but from what i remember the devs are working on a new ammo for this weapon and the new muzzleloader pistol, if this is an varmint hunting rifle what kind of ammo could be added? and to what purpose?

Some higher grain bullet so that bobcats wouldn't react to a <30m headshot like a waterbuffalo shot with a .243 (okay... bobcats won't charge )VonStratos wrote:I don't own this rifle but from what i remember the devs are working on a new ammo for this weapon and the new muzzleloader pistol, if this is an varmint hunting rifle what kind of ammo could be added? and to what purpose?
