17 Mach 2 : Good for ?

difference between mach2 and 22 lr is about
900 fps at the muzzle.Thats quite a bit more wack for the buck from the 17. i was thinking of getting the conversion kit from
eabco . I use my ruger 10/22 for squirell and snowshoe hare.
i think the mach2 would be more effective.
 
i had a CZ american in 17m2 with a weaver v16 and that thing was freaky accurate with a 10oz trigger you could shoot one hole 5 shot groups at 50 yards. i also found it had alot more penatration then the 17hmr on small amimals. I killed alot of stuff that shouldnt have been shot with the little gun but if you try you will be suprised of what it can do. i shot a squrial at 96 yards behind the shoulder with a clean pass through like it was shot with a 22 at close range but at closer ranges it will splater and make a mess like the HMR.
 
Varmonter,
this is my converted Ruger 10/17mach2
17m2-1.jpg

It's got a Swift 4-12x40 on it now though.

Gotta shoot 'em in the head if you want to eat them though.
Definite splatter factor inside of 75 yards.
Luckily, the m2 is accurate enough to get the job done.
