Well since you regret getting rid of your old 7000 and the 17 ammo is expensive , why not trade? Since he is a friend of yours you will still be able to shoot the 17 when you are shooting together. The 22lr ammo is far less expensive for the most part.

Or you could just buy yourself a 22 and keep the 17V!
