I would buy it for hunting. It would definitely get a work out at the range to sight it in, but then varmints beware! The dealer I contacted said he will throw in a pile of Hornady .17 HMR Express ammo, my favorite!
Scorch, I will be sure to post some pictures of my target, if I get it. I've got some $$ burning a hole in my pocket, so I will more than likely get them.
