I have a Marlin 17V and I gotta tell you, I like it!
It doesn't replace any existing round...it doesn't have to.
My question to all of those that say it isn't needed is: was the .260 needed? there are dozens of cartidges that exist because someone WANTED it...not because it was/is needed. This isn't about that to me, it's about something new to have and use, and experiment with...most of all to have FUN with!
Try one...you might like it...
I have posted picture of my initial groups on ....(dare I say it?) HuntAmerica/Rimfire...if you want to see what it did out of a Stock Marlin 17V....not bad for the first few shots and the weather conditions.
I'm excited about this round...and I am impressed with what it can do...I will use it within it's limitations, and that it that.
Rifle Magazine has a fairly decent article on it in the March issue, and after shoting mine, I have to agree with the limits the author talks about.
