I have examples of a number of .22 revos: a very nice 1958 vintage Model 17, and 617s with 4”, 5” and 6” barrels. I consider them terrific range guns, but a bit heavy to carry. I also have 3” and 5” Model 63s and one of the new 4” SP101s. In my case the 5” 63 is a bit more accurate than the 3” and the 101 is equal to the 5” 63. The 101 had a rougher trigger, but I smoothed it internally and played with springs and now it is very similar to the 63s. If I were to carry one in the field, it would be a 5” 63 or the 101. They both weigh 30 oz. Any choice would be based on personal preference.
