I love the 17 hmr cartridge, this is gonna be pretty awesome! Finally a affordable semi auto in 17!

I'm very curious as to how they accomplished a delayed blowback action.

Am assuming the barrel is fixed?

at 40 cents a pop my 17 hmr doesnt get much use anymore. Sometimes for grouse hunting long range, but now I just bother less and prefer to carry a small, light, plastic .22 with a red dot....

Definitely, I almost bought a Volquartsen last week, glad I waited.

This'll probably shoot 80% as well at 40% of the cost!

If you were in the market for a Volquartsen you will be sadly disappointed with this offering. Cant even begin to express the impression of cheapness this rifle leaves after handling it. Wasnt impressed at all.

Oh. Other reviews were much more positive, I'll wait to see a production one.

I'll wait and decide for myself. If the MSRP is sub-$500 and you've handled $300 Marlin XTs, $325 Ruger Americans and still don't think it's a fair price for the A17...then to each his own. I haven't handled it, but for the way I've heard this rifle described online, and by someone I know who was at SHOT, it sounds like it could be good value. For me, I'm waiting for accuracy reports before getting too revved-up about it. The CCI A17 ammo isn't a deal breaker for me, as I can't even find CCI .22 reliably in Southern Ontario. lol I have to wonder what that mega-box of it is actually going to cost if I ever even see it for sale.

I think all "savage" laminate stocks are made by boyd's unless that has changed of late.
