What the hell is 'plink'ing?

Assuming this is an actual question, see plinking. Yaf 04:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

In the intro paragraph, it says that the ".17 HMR was just introduced." What does that mean? That phrase is going to mean different times depending on when the article is read. For example, in the chance that both Wikipedia and this article remain in the year 2525, that phrase would seem to indicate that the .17 HMR was introduced some time around 2525. mlhwitz 19:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

OK, I found a press release that said it was a 2004 offering. scot 20:40, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I checked the RUGER site on the models listed. The .17 HMR is not a RUGER 10/22 at all, but rather a 10/17. My guess is that the number following the slash (or the bottom part of the fraction, or whatever) signifies the caliber. PDF instructions for models available at http://www.ruger.com/Firearms/PDF/InstructionManuals/18.pdf. mlhwitz 19:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but the 10/22M and the 10/17 share more in common (everything but bolt and barrel) than the 10/22 and the 10/22M. Ditto the 77/22M and 77/17 vs. the 77/22 Hornet. It just makes more sense to have the 10/17 be in this article than to have either a tiny stub or a large copy for a 10/17 article. scot 20:40, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
