17 HMR Semi Auto

<< < (3/3)

Little Stu:
MAgnum research is building a 17 on the 10/22 frame it is a 17/22 they chamber it in 17 mach2 and hmr as well as 22 and 22mag. they got the patent from ruger and reworked the action added a carbon fiber barrel and laminent thumbhole stock. they say it will shoot better then you and your scope. I bought one yesterday and cant wait to shoot it. there website says msrp is 979.00 but the local UFA Sportsmans had one and it was only 789.00.

X-Force:
I like the magnum research 17. That thing is pretty sweet. You gotta up date me on how you like it.

Mookie:
Wear glasses when you shoot it, and keep the chamber clean. The MR is a great rifle, they are a good price and can be upgraded plenty. They use a factory Ruger trigger, bolt and all other hardware. They send the trigger group to Clark Custom to have it worked over, so it is the same trigger that comes with the 10/22T.

Weatherby is making a new XXII semi auto based off the 10/22, even using the 10/22 magazine with a Weatherby bottom. Looks like they are using their own bolt and bolt handle, could be VQ, Ruger T/G. Seems that Magnum Research is building the receivers.
Basically it is a good way to go if you want a very nice 10/22 style rifle without the hassle and extra cost of building it yourself.

--- Quote ---Although the Axiom models could be considered a radical departure from Weatherby tradition, the new Mark XXII SA may outshine them in that regard. Designed with the assistance of Magnum Research, the Mark XXII SA was built from the ground up to be an upper-level target-grade detachable-magazine-fed semi-auto rimfire rifle chambered for the .22LR and the .17 HMR. The XXII SA features a 20-inch No. 3 contour barrel with a .690 muzzle diameter, a raised comb Monte Carlo walnut stock with cut checkering and a recoil pad for a non-slip grip. All metalwork is finished in a matte blue with a soft luster finish. The rotary-design magazines (10-shot .22LR, 9-shot .17 HMR) feature a quick-release button, and the line accepts existing aftermarket accessory magazines. SRP: $999 to $1,099.

JoshT:
Don't overlook the Remington 597T if you're considering a semi-auto 17hmr. Pard of mine had one when the 17hmr first came out and it was a sweet rig. had the black laminated stock and the med-heavy barrel. It was a shooter and never had any feed/function problems.

Little Stu:
Hey X-Force I shot the MR for the first time yesterday and it seems to shoot great. it jammed a few shells for the first 75 rounds or so but didnt at all after that. once i got it sighted in it was shooting 3/4 inch groups at 100 and would probably do better if i had a bench and no breeze. :tup:
