[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. Have only tried the regular .17 ammo a few times by accident and so far that hasn’t failed to fire either, even when dirty, and I’m not known for being Mr. Clean when it comes to gun cleaning.
