mal mason 7 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I have been pondering for a long time now over what 17hmr to get, i have seen a few and have tried a few out. i have tried the anschuts,savage,and cz my thoughts was with the savage for handleing but the anschuts for accuracy until i shot the cz my god what a cracker. i had ordered a savage before i tried this gun but after being messed about by them waiting over 6 months for it to be sent from the usa because of the design, so i desided to have a look around and seen a great looking laminated thumbhole stock cz varmint, the price range was around £560 from most places as apposed to the £360 i payed for my .22rf which by the way has never let me down and has taken plenty of bunnies up to 100yrds plus. the only trouble was not many place had them in stock and would be after xmas when they get em in, so i was thinking this gun is going to cost me over £500 and was worth it as from all the reviews i have read very accurate compared to some of the best on the market, any way i rang around and got some different prices ranging from £450 up to £580.. until i got intouch with a place called (malmo guns) near preston they had one left in the laminate stock with thumbhole and i was amazed when the guy said he wanted £370 for it, i asked him was it a good second hand one he replied no its boxed, so with that i told him to keep it for me and would be with him in less than an hour, so off i went to preston and bought it along with a sak mod and 150 vmax rounds, for as little as £441 for the lot i also put a 10x50x60 nighteater scope on it which makes it look the dogs very happy with the look of the rifle, so over all ready to shoot the full set up has cost me a fantastic £666. dont think i would have got a deal like that anywhere else just need to get out with it to see how it fairs dont think it will let me down, thanks for reading and happy hunting.

mal mason 7 Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 goin out around tea time to set the scope then do a bit of lamping later on i will post to let u know how i go set the scope on the 17 and my god what a lovely rifle, didnt see much missed my 1st one but the wind was a bit blustery so as we walked down the edge of some trees a seen a bunnie out in the middle of the field, silly place to be with a couple of hmr's about, it was around 160yrds and i took it clean head shot, didnt know what hit it. i took a couple more over the next few hours really impressed with the new gun cant wait to do some day shooting, if any one looking for a decent hmr u must buy a cz the price and quality are great from (malmo guns) only thing extra it needs is a trigger kit its a bit heavy but other than that its 1st class.
