i have a buddy that swears he has seen an ad for these. i know ruger will make one some day, but i have not seen anything other than a clark custom guns or volquartzen version, and they are WAY too pricy

Nope I haven' t seen one.Ruger doesn' t make a 10/17 yet. I have the 2003 Ruger Catalog and there is not one listed.I' m sure they will come out with one in the near future if it' s feasible to them.No doubt it would be a neat little rifle.

I haven' t seen the ruger but the guy that runs the shop where i just bought my ruger GP100 had one of the new REM. 597' s I think the model was same as their .22 looked like an o.k. outfit

ruger doesn' t make them yet, i don' t know why. guys on some other boards are taking the 10/22mag and dropping in a green mountain barrel, or taking the barrel off of a ruger 96/17 and using a different barrel shim and dropping them in. they say it works great. so why can' t ruger put them out? they already have the action, and they already have barrels to fit.

Looked at a Volquartsen (laminated barrel & overmolded stock). Very nice feeling, and very expensive. Apparently a lot of goat (feral) are looking at this caliber.
I guess time will tell, but the .17hmr is generatingh a lot of buzz.
