I'm salivating to get a 17HMR.. but not sure which one yet.
I really like the firearms CZ puts out but have no experience with the rifles yet. I wanted a cz-455 but they were discontinued. I know they are still available. The 457 has some nice improvements. The question here might be.. the American or the Varmint? It will principally be used for varmints at about 125 yds or less.. probably mostly less. Does the bull barrel offer much/enough advantage to justify it over the standard barrel? If not, it opens the choices to choose the standard OR the bull.
Then I started looking at the Ruger 17's and the Savage. Now I'm really confused.
I see a LOT of Savage options available. However, it seems most LGS's around her have the 93R17's. Even with that platform there are many choices.. but they all seem like it's different stocks, but some barrel types. I have seen a few A's and B's but not sure what the differences are.
Then there is Ruger. I have a couple of their guns in both are 22LR. They have a good reputation but I know nothing about the 17.
Any pointers are appreciated.. both pro's and cons
