Can ya tell that I'm pretty pumped about a FUNCTIONAL 17HMR semi-auto rifle???

I had a 10/17 Mag for a short time, blew the mag out the bottom twice, sent it back, got another one, blew the mag out, got a heavier bolt handle = FTE, got a heavier spring = FTE, sent it back again, got a 10/22 Mag, and was happy - yet disappointed that I had failed in the endeavor to have a semiauto 17HMR.

Once they pretty this up into a stainless model with a heavy barrel and a laminate stock, tack on another $100 if they feel they have to, then I'll be on this like white on rice!
