RE: Which .17 HRM
I agree with the Ruger. However rile 1564 said he has to keep it under 250.00. You aren't going to find the Ruger for that price.Both the Marlin's and the Savage's are nice little BA.I have a Savage 17HMR which I was going to finally try out last week.I got messing with a new Ruger M-77 7mm08 and never got to the Savage.It does appear to be a decent rifle for the money. Reports have it they shoot very well.
Ruger Redhawk
