Hey Me Mike,
My husband and I have one of those 17's. They are great little guns. He took our sons, ages 8 and 13 out target/ skeet shooting this fall with it. Your wife has good taste. have a Merry Christmas and Good luck with the varmint shootin' ! :thumbrig:
I was raised in a hunting family. My dad is the " Great White Hunter". If it has fangs, fur, fins or feathers it's either in the freezer and or hanging on the living room wall. He has a black bear, an albino buck with a 6 point rack, and mule deer, a full sized turkey, a few pheasants, a muskie, ( WV state record in 1966) , and 9 deer in which 3 are ones I hunted down.
I am passing my hunting skills and stories down to our two boys and one day soon they can start our own collection. :brave:
