This is what I use, CZ 455. Highly accurate, portable, see your hits and misses on high power setting in scope.
What 17 HMR is everyone shooting?

Got a Henry 17 HMR lever action to ride with me around the property in my UTV. Fun for blinking and big enough to get some varmits. Makes me feel like a cowboy.
Mine is a Marlin 917VS but it's not near as pretty as quigley's.

Yeah but they are sweet.... 17 hmr is my missing autoloader rimfire. Can make a lot of money disappear with those vqs and a pile of magazines.

I will say that those CZ's are beautiful looking rifles. Assuming that they are shooters? I have never owned one
Two CZ 452s and a tikka T1X for me. Marlin 917s for the girls. All shoot 1 MOA or less at 100 yards. The one factory threaded 452 is one of my three most favorite guns I own. have not used the Tikka much but will change that This spring. I use A lot of different weaponry but always have a 17 HMR with me.

Yeah I would be curious on how the Tikka performs compared to the CZ or even the Bergara
It will honestly be hard to decide which one I take on A daily basis. May end up taking the Tikka more for work due to it being a poly stock. The CZ is so beautiful I'm always babying it to not over ding up the wood. Shoot ability is a tossup so far. Both are awesome
One of the BEST Auto Loaders. There were manufactures that came out with semi Auto 17 HMRs but they didn't work. Volquatersen even had some issues in the beginning, but they were th manufacture that worked out the issues. Our Volquatersen 17 HMR shoots GREAT without any issues and is a TACK Driver.
Great customer service!!!!
I was just looking at some receipts the other night and - YES they are expensive. This model that we have is no longer available.
Hit a squirrel, PD, Ground hog, or a Yote at 200 yds++ in the kill zone and DIRT. Those Hornady 20gr XPTs!!!!

Now I am really considering the CZ457 - it is a nice looking rifle for sure! I feel like it is a flip of a coin between the Bergara, Tikka, and CZ - all will probably shoot really well.

Anybody else encountered ammo variability? My Savage 93R 17 with varmint barrel can shoot a sub-MOA group at 100 yards but not all the time and not with all loads.
