17 hm2...?

You can go custom... buy a V-Block Ruger 77/22 and swap in an HM2 barrel... here are a couple that I have done;

any 17 hm2's around? not having much luck finding any make or model.

P.S - HM2 is the best small game cartridge ever invented IMO... laser accuracy without the damage of WMR, HMR or WSM... HM2's are squirrel whacking machines.
 
I have about 2000 rounds of ammo, a reamer and waiting for a barrel ....I am getting impatient...I would snag a factory offering if I could :)
 
I have a barrel and reamer i'm just trying to decide which rifle to put it on. An old CZ #1 with a pooched barrel or a 455. Also need to get through a dozen other projects first. To many things to do and so little time.:)
 
I have owned five 17mach2 rifles, and I still own a Cooper Jackson Hunter in 17mach2. I still also have over 16000 rounds of Eley 17mach2 ammunition. The 17mach2 is still my favorite cartridge for shooting ground squirrels.
 
I'd put a WTB ad in the EE. You see several in there every year. I have a Marlin 917M2 with a Rifle Basix trigger. Fantastic rifle. I have (what I thought) was a half-decent supply of ammo, but it's about 2 bricks. (1K) I see it for sale so infrequently, I'm reluctant to shoot it! lol Hopefully, more ammo materializes soon.
 


Vindicator .17 Mach 2 belt fed built by lakeside machine. AFAIK they only made 11 of these in 17m2

I have a properly converted 10-22 as well as a nice lh Savage heavy barrel. Both are amazingly accurate. I've been searching the world over for a rare one in a left handed CZ 452 but no luck yet. I'll probably end up building one from a lh .22 CZ instead. I also had a Marlin 717 semi that I sold a few years back.

I have about 9000 rounds in the locker, the bulk of it being Eley (thanks Clay) and the rest being a bunch of Hornady and a bit of CCI. It all shoots well but I don't run Eley in the semi. Seems to be a little warmer than the Hornady/CCI ammo.
 
I have two. One a CZ 452 American thanks to Clay and waiting/looking for a year or more. I also have a Marlin 917V. It is every bit if not more accurate than my CZ. Trigger is horrible though. Still hoping to fix that.

Have about 9000 rounds on hand. My favorite rimfire gopher round by far.
