The nice thing about an O/U is that going from point of regulation to 'out there' is simply a question of adjusting the scope for a longer point of impact for the top bbl. The lower bbl point of aim needs a bit of 'Kentucky windage' but it is still a hell of a lot easier than trying to adjust aim on a SXS. And yes, the 17HMR is a neat, quiet, and fun round. Never saw the point of the 17H2 however. Dave
