The caliber is the selling point, not the rifle. It's like a 22 and won't be a top dollar, accutrigger/accustock gun. It's a fast shooter and other manufacturers will make a nicer, cooler feeling rifle.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

An old benchrest shooter I talked to a while back said he bought one when they first came out.  His exact words were:  "I couldn't sell that thing fast enough!"  :chuckle:

I spoke to the guys at Volquartsen specifically about this gun. If you order one right now you are in for a about a 16 month wait. Its on my list though!

 :drool: Not on my budget.

I want the round but, the more I looked into the B-mag the more I though I should wait.  It is relatively cheap but, way to many grumbles.  I am betting we see some other options in the not to distant future.

I would never pay that much for a rimfire rifle!  (This from a guy that just built a $700  10-22!)  :chuckle:

Cabelas in Marysville (Tulalip) had about fifteen boxes of 17 WSM ammo yesterday, If you need any you should call them first to see if there is any left.
