I have a Marlin in .22 mag and a Savage 93R in .17 HMR--both bolt-action.
IMO everyone needs a small-caliber bolt-action rifle. I prefer the Savage hands down. Get it in either .22 WMR or .17 HMR, but get a Savage.
As for the performance of the two rounds? .17 HMR is a laser-beam. It will do almost anything .22 WMR will do out to longer distances, except kill something relatively big in one shot (raccoon, etc.).
