I absolutely love the action and magazine on this gun but have never fired one.
If there's anyone out there who can provide some first hand knowledge to me before I purchase one I would be in your debt.
Cheers Geoff
 
Mine has the digi camo stock. Kinda ugly but my favourite little go to varmint yard rifle. It is very accurate. I’ve taken fox and coyote right in the yard. No problems hitting crows close to the 150 mark. Rifle functions flawlessly and the extra mag storage in the stock is sweet. Some of the triggers were pretty heavy for such a light rifle even when adjusted fully down. I bent a spring with instructions found on RFC and now I’m down in the ounces. My 17 tbolt is on my never sell list.
 
I kinda figured they are on that list as I've been looking for one of the discontinued stainless models and cant find anything out there, so they must be keeping them.
Apparently they sell like hotcakes in the U.K. They like to shoot rabbit and crow there.

The first gun I bought when I got my PAL was a T-bolt 17hmr with the heavy barrel and walnut stock. Many other firearms have came and gone since then but the T-bolt still remains.

Last year alone it took 7 foxes, 2 coyotes, a couple dozen raccoons and countless crows.

It's light, accurate and reliable. The action is like nothing else. Extremely fast cycling. I hate the typical bolt action on a rimfire compared to the straight pull of the T-bolt. The only issue I had is it wouldn't feed Winchester hollow point ammo but anything else has functioned perfect.

I can't see myself ever selling it.
 
I prefer AO scope for a rimfire. I mounted a Sightron SII 3-9x36AO. I believe this exact model to be discontinued or I would own more than 1. I can’t remember the exact mounts but I’m sure leupold can set you up.
 
I have the 17HMR in the target/varmint version of the t-bolt and I use a bushnell elite 3-9x40 with side focus. Originally had a vortex diamondback on it but wanted the parallax adjustment. Go with the talley integrated rings and mounts made specifically for the t-bolt.
 
I have a T-Bolt Target/Varmint in .22 LR, bedded it into a Boyd's At-One stock and mounted a VX-2 4-12X40 AO, for mostly 50 meter Bench shooting... the push button adjustments for LOP and comb make it very comfortable and it is an accurate rig.
 
I bought the 22lr version,sucky trigger. Removed the lawyer ledge ,no joy. Bought the Jard at 400$, 20 ounce trigger, should also have bought lighter springs. It shoots great but didn’t anticipate the extra expense . There doesn’t seem to be many aftermarket parts for the trigger system
