    I wanted to build one on the RimX action about 1.5 yrs ago, but couldn't get a barrel in Canada. That has now changed, and you can now buy and build a rims in 17wsm.

    But yea, not much selection for a stock 17wsm. The ammo has been hard to find as well when I was looking for some back then. Maybe one day I will still get one, but I'm onto other things of interest for now.

    I've got the RimX and WSM conversion kit.. just missing the barrel - prefit if possible. Know of any good sources in Canada?

    Have Proof barrels for 22 LR and 22 WMR, but they don't make the WSM yet.

    I love my 17 wsm. But like others wish that I could get it in a nicer rifle. My bmag is a laser and does its primary function of hitting the target very well but everything else about it is total trash. It's strange that it is my worst rifle by quite a bit, yet it might be my favourite all at the same time.
    I can't say enough about how much I like 17 wsm. A 200 yard coyote is a dead coyote with the 20 grain vmax.

    The Bmag action is the absolute worst bolt action design of our life time. The cocking on close is ridiculous.

    I was lucky enough to get a Ruger 77/17 from Prophet River a few years back. A lot nicer rifle than the Bmag.

    Very nice rifle! I've been on the hunt for a 77/17 for a long while but none to be had anywhere.
