Can we mod the .17 to be better suited for me if you're not gonna use it?

A .270 will handle anything you're after in Oregon, Mother.  Sell the .17.  Buy a .270 and a .22 for squirrels.

Any experience or opinions (well-founded or merely entertaining) on the Beretta 92 series of pistols? My favorite local shop just got a 92FS in that appears to be in excellent shape and what seems like an attractive price (the owner hasn't put a tag on it yet, but says it'll be around $350).

I've only shot one once, twenty years ago or so, when I was a Capitol Hill aide & the Marines would take us down to Quantico to shoot the stuff they wanted our bosses to vote to fund. Good times.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

the 92's are decent after Beretta got the kinks worked out.  there is no surprises with them, they are reasonably well designed and a solid 9mm platform.

they are not my favorite, i like some of Beretta's more "exotic" stuff (like the Cougar which has a rotating barrel instead of the Browning style lockup)

but they are good guns.

$350 is a decent price depending on condition

um. ok.....






anyways, for the gun people, educate a newb please. If he gets a .270, what will it be like compared to the HMR .17 he has now (more specifically weight and recoil)? Or is it completely dependent on a ton of other factors? Just wondering if its gonna be a gun I could handle too.
