I'd sure enjoy an 8 shot 6" SP101 in 17HM2, but alas, I don't believe it'll ever happen.

I've seen a few scattered boxes here and there, but honestly, it's not really much lower supply than the past few years before the current situation began. It was hard to find even in the years that folks were chambering rifles for it, and thereafter, it was a crapshoot. Whether that dries up entirely as an effect of this rimfire shortage and seals the casket on the 17hm2, we've yet to see. I'm prone to believe otherwise, since I'm prone to believe there's enough demand from the ownership base, and there's enough investment capital in the tooling to produce it to continue making a limited supply. Maybe that's just wishful thinking...
