I think Marlin now has a semi auto .17. It looks good and most MArlins arepretty good shooting guns. I like my Marlin semiauto .22.

I know I will get some flack, but I would run away from any Remninton 597. They are using far too much plastic in the action. My 597 .22 would stove pipe constantly. I got ride of it very quickly.

I shoot a Savage. It is a bolt action and greeat shooting gun. I has some trigger work done. I purposely went with an inexpensive gun I could keep in the truck or on the 4-wheeler.
