    Hmmm, I don't like the idea of "optimized for xxxx rifle" ammunition. Time will tell.

    Very nice. The only thing preventing me from buying a .17 is that we are not permitted to use it for small game here which makes no sense to me what so ever as .22 and .22mag are good to go.
    Enjoying your freedom? Thank A Soldier !!!

    You say nobody needs an AR15? Well nobody needs a whiny little b*tch either yet here you are!

    Sounds like you need to write an educated letter to some decision makers. I assume laws are caliber-based, but if you send them an explanation of the difference between a 177 pellet and a 17HMR/WSM, you may have some luck getting an amendment put in the local laws.

    If they allow 22 cal, just send them some charts from reputable sources with muzzle velocity and energy/joules on target, which will provide evidence to why they are better for small game than 22LR. Don't sell out 22 like it shouldn't be allowed, just say 17HMR is not a pellet and is even better than 22.

    Yeah, I did some "Google-foo' and found that Ruger made a 10/17 for awhile. A contributor to Yahoo Answers said, "The problem with the .17HMR is that the manufacturers could not find a happy balance between bolt weight and spring strength to ensure that the bolts would remain in battery long enough to wait out the chamber pressure spike, but still remain light enough to funciton reliably."

    Therefor, the Ruger 10/17, Remington 597 and Magnum Research 10/17 were all pulled for the same reasons you state: firing out of battery. No wonder savage states that this rifle must "lock up" for a fraction of a second before cycling the bolt.

    And no, I believe I will be exceptionally happy with the CZ... but I know if I had seen a year or more or great reviews I would have bought this Savage and missed out on the CZ.

    Always wanted a 17.HMR... See how it rules out in terms of Canadian regulations! Would it be non-restricted or restricted? Considering the 10rd mag but again it's a rim fire!
