    Bass Pro has 3 different .17 HMR's on sale next week. That is all I need and am going to purchase one. Remington semi auto, Savage bolt and I believe a Marlin bolt. What is everyones opinion on which is better?

    I just bought the Rossi 17HMR last Saturday myself.Have not shot it yet,but it seems well built for the money.Paid $145.00 plus tax.I want a bolt action repeater if i like this cartrige.If i don't like it,i'm not out much money and i can give the Rossi to my granddaughter in a couple of years.

    Hello Chief,
    I don't know what you want to spend but the Marlin 17VS is a great value in my opinion for $300-350. It is an extremely accurate rifle out of the box and with a little tweeking on the trigger, I couldn't really ask for more. I ran over 500 round through mine on a prarie dog hunt this year. Occationally the spent cartridge wouldn't eject was the only problem I had.

    Worry is the interest humans pay on the debt of miscalculation.
