.17 hmr vs. .17 WSM
« on: February 04, 2014, 07:30:09 PM »
Has anyone picked up one of the .17 WSM?  A friend showed me this caliber after the fact and the ballistics are impressive for a rime fire.  Definate improvement over the .22 win mag and .17 hmr.

I don't have one, but the only complaint i have heard is that the stock on the savage feels light and cheep... They could have done more with that roll out.

Been thinking about picking one up, I love my HMR so the WSM should be fun too.

Boyds does make stocks for the bmag now......I didn't like the gun as a whole personally....too cheap for me! I'll wait for some better options. Volquartsen  has an awesome one, BUT it sure is a spendy rim fire.

But it's not the newest, coolest caliber. I have one, or actually, both, so I'm cool. 8)

There are some places where its Rim-fire only. I was told that inside the Kittitas Reclamation District (KRD) that it was shotgun, rim-fire only. I'm guessing Because of all the smaller farm field sizes and the abundance of houses..

So there is a reason and there is a place for them.

I just ordered a Boyds stock for my Bmag. I hope it makes it feel better and even look better in camo.
