17 hmr precision rimfire

[mtjk]

I just got one of these used, but new to me. It is very ugly. I put a vortex 6.5x20 on it and it shot 10 rounds into .75 at 100 yds. I guess I can live with the ugly.

I've found the 17 HMR to just be an inherently accurate cartridge.
Mine really, REALLY likes the Federal 17 gr Speer TNT...And, If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, than I'm most definitely in love!
This is @ 50 yards.

Beauty is pain, but .75 MOA at 100 yards ain't bad!

To each his own but I personally wouldn't buy a gun I thought was ugly.

I have a Savage bolt gun with a heavy bbl in 17hmr.......... SUPER ACCURATE at 25 & 50 yds,; never tried 100. It's not pretty, but not ugly either... sorta "cute" maybe.
