The .17WMR is more of a small game/varmint hunting round. It pushes about 1000 fps faster than a standard 22LR so the damage to a coyote or raccoon pretty much guarantees a kill. Something that can't be said when using a 22LR.
Unless you have a need for a gun like that, just move along.

What a cool idea.
Cabelas has them for $600, not including the other receivers though. It might actually be cheaper to buy a Marlin 17HMR, a mossberg 715 plinkster, and a random 22WMR over the cz.
The cz is a nice package though.

The guy must be a beast. The Barrett rifle is almost 30 lbs, while the Desert Eagle is 5 lbs with a loaded mag. I held one when I was at International and couldn't believe how massive it is.
Only Vinnie Jones can make it look small in comparison. Or maybe Ah-nuld.
