.17 hmr

[gerard488]

Planning to buy another rifle, I have decided on a .17 HMR. Anyone have any ideas on what brand/model is best?
Must be bolt action.

I recommend the savage 93r17ss, i own one and have zero complaints about it. Just ordered up a Nikon prostaff for it last week.

It depends on what you look for in a gun. I have a savage. Its pretty great. The browning t-bolt is pretty nice also.

I had a savage 93 heavy barrel blue synthetic. It had accutrigger and was extremely accurate. I sold it to a buddy with plans of buying the savage 93 tr model. I've waited too long tomake a purchase and now I'm torn between the tr or a cz. For the money though you can't beat the savage. (Buddy has since put an electric blue evolution stock on it and I'm a little pi$$ed off I sold it)

I should have bought a savage but cheaped out and bought a 817 mossburg had to get the bolt repaired after 200 rounds. the gun shoots like a cheap gun think I would have been more happy spending a bit more and getting a savage. Anyone I know that has one loves it.

cz, cooper, anshutz, and sako quad are all superior performers, hold their value, and are known high quality rifles

Savage 93R17BTV is my choice. Add a 4-12x40 and a bipod

 

[AWOL]

For me there were only 2 choices.

CZ452/455
Browning T-Bolt

I ended up with the T-Bolt as it was readily available. Otherwise, if they were both there, I would have walked out with the CZ. The Browning has a better & more reliable magazine. The Browning is also nicer fit & finish. The CZ is a bit more accurate out of the box. Both are top shelf quality.

Had a savage it was ok. Sold it and bought a cz 452. The cz is alot more accurate and built alot better.

I have the Savage 93R17 BRJ and love it. Worth every penny. The quality of the stock is incredible and the gun is extremely accurate. 5-shot groups at 100 yards are sub MOA every time.

I have a cz452 American great wood well made and shoots great.

Zastava makes a pretty nice, affordable rifle in .17hmr.

 

[gerard488]

Any use or have thoughts on the stevens 310 ?

 

[Grizzlypeg]

Cz453 Varmint does it for me.

Zastava makes a pretty nice, affordable rifle in .17hmr.

I had one in 22lr. That thing was built like a tank and very accurate. Easily on par with the cz's I have. Finish on the metal was just as good as well. I think the blueing on the one I had was nicer them my cz's. The stock was very heavy though but it felt exactly like a centerfire rifle.

 

[.22LRGUY]

My vote would be CZ...and that's coming from a guy with 2 Savage rimfires, and 1 Savage centerfire in the safe. I had a CZ452 Varmint in HMR, should have never sold that one.

 

[hoytcanon]

Savage, Browning, CZ, Ruger, Marlin etc... I have had them all and they can all shoot. HMR is an inherently accurate caliber in my experience... Mostly shoot the 20 grain from Hornady.

Savage 93R-BTVS - I have in both .17HMR & .22WMR - absolute tack drivers and 4 legged zombie killers!

 

[norman]

I sure like my savage 93r. I havent used any other brands though. I have the BSA sweet 17 scope on it.

 

[fletcher]

I baught a Savage 93r and think its great accurate little gun for the price.Ive shot hundreds of rounds through it without a problem
