Ammo seems to be cheaper than 17hmr around here.....maybe they are just clearing it out?

Im afraid this round will fade into oblivion. Not many factory rifles and either cheap or upper end in price range. Nothing in better quality at a mid range in price $800-1200. There is a used Volquartsen on the EE but its in the upper price range. Owned two and one was junk and the other was much more accurate but still a Plastic B Mag. Its what ended me ever buying anything SAVAGE.

I've had my own negative Savage experiences (rimfires) but one of the most accurate rifles I ever owned was a Savage HB .223. I love that Savage makes calibers like 17M2, 17 Hornet, 22 Hornet...but you have to be willing to buy something like a model 25 "walking varminter" to play ball. A beefed-up, overpriced rimfire action with a poorly thought-out stock. I know I could live with the build quality/price of a Savage 22 Hornet...just give me something that looks good at the same time.

To the question-I saw the 1885 reviewed in this caliber, first time I ever felt the drive to own a 17WSM. Didn't act on it, but it's stayed at the back of my mind. I actually think a 17Hornet/CZ527 is the king of the zippy little .17s, but this would be a great rifle to play around with for sure.

I was not always negative about Savage. I have owned quite a few over the years and was happy. Had a 110 BA in 338 Lapua that was insanely accurate. The only Savage I presently own is a 204 Ruger in the Model 25 walking varminter. It has the brown laminated stock and blued fluted barrel. It’s a lazer that shoots every load I’ve tried into very small clusters. Great for blowing up crows!!
