I just wanted to hear peoples opinions on the marlin or any other .17hmr.
Any good or bad stories.

Scope prefences below the typical 200 + leupolds. Good bang for the buck.

I bought a Marlin 917vs the other day and have not put a scope on it yet.

Someone told me about the BSA sweet .17

I was thinking about maybe getting a .17HM2.

Both the .17HMR and the .17HM2 are basically replacements for the .22 in its various versions. I have not shot one but have talked to a few people and read a lot of personal reviews and they are a bit more accurate than the .22LR with better range. Their accuracy will reach out past 100 yards and they hit harder for small game.

The .22 has the advantage of readily available ammo at half the price of the .17's. If you plink a lot then the .22 is probably a more go to gun (not an issue since you already have the .17). If a person is actually hunting squirrels, rabbits or varmints then the .17 is likely a better option. As far as the fun factor and plinking, the .17's don't come in semi-autos. Most people know how fun the .22 autos are to shoot and within their plinking range, they are great.

As for cheaper scopes, after doing a lot of research a couple of years ago and wanting a cheap scope for my Marlin 1894c .357 magnum rifle, I went with a Simmons. I have Leupold and Nikons on my other deer rifles and they are fairly pricey. The Simmons scope has been on the rifle through two seasons and has not had a problem. It is probably the best $35 that I have spent on a hunting item.

      Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.
