Just got this rifle from a batch whittakers had for a few days. paid $369 for it, took some bolt lapping, sanding the barrel channel in the stock to relieve a pressure spot, and some work to the trigger, but what a gem these rifles are for the price! Shot this target today with my last 4 rds at 25yards

 

Here is a pic of the rifle and the test target

Whoa. That is one hell of a precise gun. Nice shootin!

I'd lay-in a good supply of ammo. While I hope it stays with us, the .17M2 was not the commercial success the Hummer was. I believe that Eley and Remington (who use Eley primed cases) are the only two ammo manufacturers left for the caliber. I have an Anschutz in Mach2 and it is a great little round. I have about 2K rounds of ammo - mostly Eley, but some remington also. Nice buy and a fun gun/caliber.

 

Adios,

I'd say that you're set for a lifetime. I may be coming to you for ammo in the future. :derisive:

Buy it cheap, stack it deep.
