17 cal vs 22 mag

[svnmag]

Ruger, I assume? Looks like the one my FIL got after watching me bang dogs with my Savage.

No Sir. ^^^^That's a Marlin for around 500 bucks.

My mistake. FIL has one that looks similar...gray family synthetic wood, etc. Nice gun.

I know that Fkn wind has saved a lot of Pdogs but there's nothing more satisfying than guessing it right.

I think this is the one I want.

Nice looking piece. I hope by now they've got all the bugs worked out of auto ,17s.

Being a Savage, that'll give Jiffy the vapors.

I know I will get a flogging. But, savage seems to have done a good job repairing the reputation they sullied in the 80s and 90s. I've got nothing bad to say about the 2 I bought since 2016. And that A17 looks really intriguing.

I wish I had one or two of the originals ( NIB automatics--various manufacturers) just to preserve history and available for research.

Also; FYI, the rounds fire a .172 as opposed to .177.

That is all.

Not much buzz on the .17 WSSM. Y'all think it's doomed?

Reinforces my opinion of FMJ for turkey.

I think it's a good round. I think the lack of a decent rifle initially hindered its acceptance. As I mentioned earlier, Savage's initial rollout was garbage. Stock had way too much flex. Grouping was terrible.

Looks very nice, the ole ruger 22 is bullet proof.

 

[svnmag]

It's probably bullet proof and one hole accurate: Why does Ruger insist on the ugliest turds conceivable? Why put a brake on a .17?!! I guess to appeal to the "A Team" folks. I realize it's a screw on bit of dumb ass. IMHO. If Ruger were a classic car it'd be a Dodge/Chrysler. MOW--PAHR!!!
