Searching for the right 17 HMR rifle

[DanScarps]

I`m on the hunt for a rifle... I have some time to make my decision, so no rush here.

Ive decided that the fun and cheap way to enjoy a rifle, is to own a 17 HMR firearm. I know, it isn't a real high caliber, manly, high recoil, destruction device. But on a budget, I can shoot pretty far distances, and decently learn about dialing in a scope, compensation, ect... I`m not interested in a 0.22 either.

Reliable and accurate are my main concerns, with the ability to throw on a decent scope later.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

I have a Savage 17 HMR MAKO and it shoots GREAT. 1 MOA at 100yards. There is a nice one FS right now in the Equipment exchange also!

Hope you shoot indoors, cuz the wind is a nightmare with the 17hmr!

But regardless best bang for the buck is the Savage MKII TR! If you can find one.
