[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 217132, member: 5993"] [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I have an A17 with a Bushnell designed for the .17 trajectory. The thing has scary accuracy, ammo readily available. Never seems to fail to fire, at least with the slightly hotter ammo designed for it.
