For learning to shoot scopes the only real advantage a .22 has over .17 hmr is price and prevalence. The .17 hmr is going to be more accurate at longer ranges then the .22lr. I learned to shoot scopes on a .22lr and both rounds are good at what they do. In my opinion they serve different purposes. Recoil won't be a problem with either round so no advantage there. I'm not saying the .17 is better then the .22, all I'm really saying is if a .17hmr is what you want, then by all means go for it.
