thats a fine rifle you have there, I hope its a tack driver in all your shooting.
But your Right hoashooter the bolt is in the wrong place, its just wrong to have a nice rifle like that  and the bolt is wrong

I have been hunting with the 17 HMR ever since they put it on the market . It is very flat shooting but it is only a 150 yard gun and not 200 like most people think. I really like it for squirrel hunting and for game up to the size of coons, but wouldn't hestitate to shoot a yote if it was all had at the time i got the shot. I hope the 17 hangs on as long as the 22LR has.

Hey Bea
I like the wood on that rifle! How about a close-up of the grain of it? Is the barrel floated? cant really see on the pic.
It looks like a nice rig, im sure youll be doing a lot of shooting with it

The barrel is floated from the factory . The wood is really very plain and not fancy. I will take a close up tomorrow when i have good light and post it for you.

Bea;
Have you noticed a certain whiney buzzing lately? Gnats or some other jealous little creatures is all I can figure.
I, on the other hand, think that that is one fine-looking rifle & the bolt is most perfectly placed. If you like that style of ring & want something a little less clunky that'll match the blue, give Dave a call at Talley, I'm sure they can fix you up.

I like Warne rings and use them on a number of my rifles. I have tried the Talley rings in the past but prefer the Warne.
