[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 2758223, member: 84442"] I bought one of the earlier 17HMRs on the market. It is a Marlin 917VS. I shot it in its stock configuration for a number of years. I decided to spruce it up and put it in a Boyd's laminate thumbhole stock and add a few other custom touches including bead blasting all the stainless parts. I installed a custom trigger spring to lighten the pull weight. The scope is a custom color matched Leupold Vari-X III 6.5-20x40 target scope with fine dot reticle. I have never owned or shot a more accurate17HMR. It will consistently shoot under an inch at 100 yards with most any ammo. I have shot a handful of 5 round single hole groups with it on windless days. Just a really fun rifle overall. Many a Prairie Dog has fallen to this rig. Some day I may get around to bedding it...[ATTACH type="full"]442686[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
