17 Winchester Super Mag
Does anyone know when we can expect rifles out for this new cartridge

Considering the present Panic Buying, I think it will be a good while before they turn from making standard caliber guns and ammo to a new novelty caliber. 0 -
kumatelives,
Savage is on record as reporting that they will release their new rifle for this ammunition sometime around mid-April.
There are two other, as yet unnamed companies stating that rifles will be ready "sometime later in 2013".
That's the most I know without contacting the makers personally.

I hope Winchester comes out with a USA-made adult-sized rifle in this caliber. Too many manufactures are looking to Russia or eastern Europe to produce rifles and I haven't been impressed with the quality or appearance. Other than the Model 70, Winchester seems to be searching for its place in the modern market and I'd love to see them come out with something akin to the old but updated Model 52 or Ruger's 77/22 in this new chambering. We'll see, I guess. 0 -
With the popularity or the 17HMR already and availability f those rifles, coupled with the overall savings of reloading for the smaller varmint type catridges, will this one chambering actually take off or will it go the way of so many others? 0 -
I am hopeful CZ offers a rifle. Whether it would be on their 455 or 527 action, I don't know. It seems to me the rimfire 455 action is neither sufficiently sized nor strong. 0 -
Right now it looks like the Savage B.mag and the Browning 1885. The test shooting videos I've seen show what looks like the Stevens Model 30. 0
