17hmr ....quite an explosion

hawaiipighunter
i own a 17 and love it. i am currently overseas and made my way back to GB just the other day. i looked on the auction side and i see the 17 is now chambered in at least a dozen guns!!!! i havent been gone too long. it was just available in 2 or 3 guns, no too awful long ago.

any rumors on what else the 17 will be chambered in? overall i like the caliber and wish it well. any chance we'll see a ruger 10/17?

how have the results been with the taurus pistol? what type of accuracy does one have with the pistol at say 50 or 75 yards?

    hawaiipihunter; New for 2004 from Ruger- 10/17 auto rifle. With blue metal and hardwood stocks. New stuff takes time to hit the store. Love my Marlin 17v in Sept one shot at 195yd one less woodchuck!
    Hope this helps

    P.S. The 10/17 has a new integral scope mount like the Model 77.

    Ruger has also chambered their Single
    Six revolver for it.

    First off glad to see you back, haven't seen hide nor hair from you forever.

    The .17 is a very accurate, speedy, little, round. But from what I hear the wind plays he!! w/ it.

    Iwas at the local gun shop the other day.Now this is coming from a worker there and he is saying that ,I believe it was Ruger is coming out with a caliber between the .17 and the good old .22 .Thought it was a .20 and it is reloadable.now thats just hear say unless some one knows for sure about this.

    While I don't own a 17 I have shot a few. For the life of me I don't see what the hype is. Yeah, it is cute, fun, etc. But it has the same problem as any other rimfire round. Not reloadable. Plus expensive, compared to the venerable .22. So while it would have its niche, it is too expensive for thousands of rounds of target shooting, and too little to hunt anything bigger than perhaps squirrel or rabbit. So until the price is comprable to .22s- and by that I mean no more than $15 per 500- I won't bother with it.
