.17 HMR recommendations

[Kruel J]

I want a .17 HMR. I've had one before (a Marlin).

Requirements:
Heavy barrel profile
Rail for picatinny rings.
Better than a basic plastic/wood stock
Forward sling swivel for bipod
Adjustable trigger
Magazine fed
Accurate as all get out, will be pushing it out to 300 yards when it's not windy

Thanks guys!

I have a Savage like this one. Love it . I have bipod on it though ( not my pic)
I am able to have a sling and the bipod with the way that stock is. I'm 6'5" and
it fits well.

I'm a leftie, so thumbhole stocks are generally a no-go. I don't need a left handed action though. I grew up shooting nothing but right-handed actions, and I'm too used to them to convert now.

Their new lineup seems to largely skip .17HMR. Besides all but the most basic models.

Poking really small holes in paper for fun. Turning small critters inside out for even MORE fun.

I have looked and not found a stock I liked yet to replaces. Ya that CZ might be a good way.

That rifle will be of much better quality than most anything else, especially at that price.

WTS OR - Custom CZ 455 Varmint .22LR 20" bull barrel


This is a 22, but a 17 HMR barrel and magazine would probably set you back less than $150.

@Kruel J Have you owned a 17 HMR before?

I'm looking for new. And plug and play.

I'd put my Tikka up against anything else in the accuracy department. When I shoot a nute I aim for the mite on the hair in the ear.

That said, 300 yards is asking a lot out of a 17 grain bullet. Even a girlish giggle of a puff of wind will toss the bullet sideways at that distance.

The OP and I went to take a peek at the T1x and we were both underwhelmed when comparing it to a T3. Good to hear they shoot good.
