Who still chambers the .17 Mach 2 and WHERE can I get one??

[albertacoyotecaller]

Good job picking up that mach 2. I have one in a ruger 10-22 and in love it. People that haven't shot one don't know! Remember that opinions are like #######s. Everyone has one and there are lots of #######s that hang around the gunshops!

I would be apprehensive about buying a rimfire with such a limited following, and somewhat scarce ammunition given that you cannot reload for it. I don't know the specs, why do you want it over the HMR?

is cooper that good? i've been hearing a lot of people talking about this "cooper" rifle as being amazing.

Good enough that I bought a Jackson Hunter Model 52 in 280AI,and was so pleased that I bought a second one.Both shoot 1/2" groups at 100 yards when I do my part.I then bought a Model 57 Classic in 17Mach2 that shoots 1/2" groups at 100 yards in calm conditions.I decided that I wanted a 17Mach2 that had the same stock as my Model 52s,so I sold the classic to a friend for what I paid for it and ordered a Model 57 Jackson Hunter in 17Mach2.I also picked up a Model 57 Jackson Hunter in 22lr that easily shoots sub 1/2" at 50 yards,with some groups closer to 1/4" with better quality ammunition.They not only shoot very accurately,but the design is very good,and the fit and finish is superb.

I am picking up 16,000 rounds in a couple of weeks that should last me for awhile.Ammunition is not scarce where I shop.

It's accurate and flat shooting to 150 yards or more,and I am buying ammunition for less than half the cost of 17HMR.An extra 50 yards,is not worth double the cost of ammunition to me.Compared to a 22lr,the 17Mach2 tends to be more accurate at longer distances with similarly priced ammunition,and it shoots flatter.

stublejumper, care to share the source to your abundant supply of mach2 ammo? please pm me if you don't mind. I know that wholesale sports carries this ammo, TSE also has some in stock. this cartridge "should" be very popular, it's right between the 22lr and 17hmr, you get the best of both worlds.

mach2 looks like an awesome cartridge, 2100fps, and for such a small 17cal bullet it can really do some damage!

Cool, thanks for the info. Sound like a neat little cartridge!
