Nice. When I find my 100 yr dime target will post.
I intend to try out CZ sometime soon.

I haven't had any issues with my mags. However I have the laminated stock version. By the way, my A17 also has no problems with regular ol 17hmr ammo, until it gets dirty (around 350 rounds downrange). I wanted to make sure there would be no problems with regular ammo. The A17 ammo, however, is very dirty stuff. I probably won't buy anymore of it.I have two (ss/blued) Savage 93's from when they first came out. These are of course pre-accu trigger but Rifle Basix had come out with an adjustable sear, I have the pull set at 13oz on the stainless and it functions excellent. Both have the heavy barrel as that's the only way they came at the time.
My brother asked what was so special (he's a 22mag fan) until I let him shoot it. He bought one and now has the thumb hole SS version also.
I am contemplating getting the A17 but not sure if the magazine issues have been cleared up.
If I found a 17 hornet, now that would be super tempting. They are few and far between these days compared to rimfire.
Ya, I went internetting after I typed that. That 527 line with the set trigger is a really nice lineup of rifles.CZ makes a nice 17 Hornet if I recall in theCZ527 line?

This comment cracked me up, because that is exactly what I thought the first time I held one of these rounds. Then I shot one and was amazed at how loud it was. There is certainly some zip to this round. My plain jane Savage .17 HMR shoots groups at 100yds that are about the same as the 50yd groups I shoot with my Ruger Precision Rimfire in .22. It is a tack driver.I bet if you ever have a back-40 (acreage) that is infested with 50,000 vermin digging holes and making babies, you'd prolly understand the reason for this round!
Plus, put that round in your hand and it. Is. So. Cute!
Currently my local range only has 100 yds available, so I have never had a chance to shoot at 200 yds. As I understand it, 200 yds is somewhat challenging for the .17 HMR because it is so light it is easily affected by wind. If I get a chance to shoot at 200 I will fill you in on the results.And if you want to go shoot 500 rounds. That's only 100 bucks.
I will use my 5.56 reloads when I get out there at longer distance. I would love to see some 200 yard groups with the 17hmr.
Oh So Gross...nice shootingSounds like everyone with a 17 shoots one hole groups.
