And knock down power.... 17 HMR is shooting less than a 20 grain pill.
I have one and LOVE it though. Squirrels take a beating. :)

If you're insisting on a .17 for predators look at the .17 hornet.

Based on the 22 Hornet cartridge case, the 17 Hornet propels the 20 gr V-MAX at 3,650 fps. Fueled with Superformance propellant, the 17 Hornet Superformance Varmint is economically priced, and delivers the trajectory of a traditional 55 gr 223 load, but is a pleasure to shoot with the felt recoil of a 22 WMR. The 17 Hornet – an economical, fun .17 caliber centerfire cartridge that puts the STING on varmints out to 300 yards!
- 3,650 fps muzzle velocity with a 20 gr. V-MAX bullet
- Same C.O.L. as the 22 Hornet – uses the existing action
- Trajectory comparable to a traditional 55 gr 223 Rem, but the felt recoil of a 22 WMR
- Less fouling, barrel wear, powder and pressure compared to the 17 Rem
- Lower cost and comparable quality to the 17 Fireball and 223 Rem

Since you mentioned rimfire already whats wrong with a good old .22? Or even .22 mag which might be a little over kill. Or are you just looking for a new toy?:D

I bought a ruger American rimfire 17hmr last yr an love it. Ammo is easy to find and priced reasonable at 11.99 for 50. I got the compact model and it is a nice lil rifle to pack while. The mags are just like a ruger 10/22
