Lower end, Savage. Mid range, CZ. Because there is no true "match" HMR ammo, it's possible to find a tack driving Savage that will compete with just about anything. I'd go CZ not because it's likely to shoot appreciably better, but because I'm a fan of the wood and metal work you get at the CZ price level, whereas the Savage feels more budget.

I have a CZ 452 left hand that shoots groups under a dime. That being said my sons ugly left hand savage GLV 93R17 shoots just as good.

I have had zero issues with my savage 93r17. Haven't had issues with the mags either. It is very accurate too. I did change to a Boyd's thumbhole stock though.

i like my 93r17 may take it to the range on the weekend

CZ453 Varmint is pretty good. I'd image a 452 would be great as well, as I have one, but just not in 17hmr. I also have a Savage A17, and it has got good accuracy, but the trigger is poor and the odd time you get a failure to cycle properly. Not that often, but it isn't perfect in that regard, so I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Video Gunworks v22M 17 hmr. I got the 22lr version. Then you’ll have the best 17 hmr. Hands down.

I've owned 3 savage models in .17hmr. All of them were great rifles but there is no comparison with my Browning T-Bolt.

I have a cz 455, browning t bolt and tikka 17hmr.
I really like the cz
Also had a Henry varmint express which was a sweet gun if your into levers

Is that a HD 1080p model? I understand there's an even newer 4K UHD model, but either one would exceed the OP's $600 limit.

I have a few .17's and like them all, but the one that constantly goes out gohper poppin the most is the Savage A17. Its not the most accurate of the bunch, but can hit a gopher just fine out to 200 and is all I require. You gotta pace yourself though. In a good field after two quick 25 round mags, that barrel will be hot hot hot.
