I am considering a 17 Remington for varmit. My buddies have them and like them. Remington has discontinued the 17 Remington. Do I need to worry abut shells in the future?

  If you reload don't see it being a problem. It can be formed from .223 brass, necked down.

  skbuser,
  
  Welcome to the Gunbroker forums!
  
  If you don't reload, buy a little extra every time you make your standard purchase. Then start planning and learning to reload for the savings and satisfaction of creating your own ammunition.
  
  If you reload, brass will be available for quite some time until the demand falls below a certain level of production. Then it's switched to what's called 'seasonal' production which is usually one run a year.
  
  I know the convenience factor of shooting the same cartridge that your friends do but in my opinion, you will be better served by using the .17 Remington Fireball.
  
  Best.
