Snowpa I picked one up 1 1/2 years ago for just over 200 new. Savage. Topped it with a Leupold 6x. Besides using it in MN I used it during two of three western runs this winter. As said above out to 200 yards it’s very good and also a great truck gun. Mine certainly likes the 25grain ammo the best. If you want to sell any of that weight I’d be interested. * a note. 17 Ammo is made by Winchester and their quality control is poor. I get at least 2 duds per box of 50.

I have had two savages in the 17wsm. The first was the light barrel and it was a tack driver. The problem was the bolt and firing mechanism, lots of misfires and jammed bullets after the shot. Sold that one and bought another savage 17wsm with the bull barrell and so far it has been an excellent gun. It is 6 years newer than the first one I bought so I am hoping they corrected their bolt issues. .

I have the Ruger model 77 in the .17 WSM. Nice piece. I have not shot it enough only shooting one fox with it but the fox was plenty dead after being hit behind the shoulder with a 20 grain pill. Pretty !!

nothing wrong with the rimfires , but it alwasy seemed to me the biggest reason to keep pushing the envelop in rimfire was because so many states had centerfire night hunting restrictions or some other sort of restriction like no hunting with center fire rifles during deer season but hunting with a rimfire meant you weren't hunting for deer then could hunt with a rifle rimfire durring shotgun only dear season.
if it weren't for so many fish and game and dnr restrictions and any game could be taken with any rifle you would probably see a lot less diversity in rifles think of all the strait wall cartridges that just wouldn't be without states setting up strait wall rifle cartridge zones.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Interesting. I've put a few hundred rounds though mine and I don't think I've ever had a dud.

.17 super mag seems like a terrific caliber for raccoon calling. Minimal damage but still a lot of knock down power so they can't get back in the hole. In the northern states that is where coons are bigger than house cats.
