G'Day Zzsstt A great question with some exelent replies so far when i first got the 17HMR i read somewhere that they should be treated more like a centrefire with regard to cleaning and so i was pretty consistent with cleaning the barrel after each trip.

G'day Ned I cant suggest a mounting method for your annie but my own thoughts are that this would make it an uncomfortable bitch to shoot as Maglites are not exactly light and it would pull the front down quite a bit. the lightforce spotties mounted over the scope at least preserve some of the balan...

Have to agree with you Archfile, having now had a good shoot with both i prefer the 17HMR hands down to the WMR. Side by side (CZ Varmint 17HMR and Marlin Stainless Synthetic 22WMR) both rifles are accurate but the 17 was much easier to shoot out at 100m. In the sandhills up this way this is as far ...
