RE: .17 HMR
 
I bought a Savage 17HMR with a cheap Tasco scope (with thoughts of removing the 3-9 Tasco) and it is a little hole puncher. I shot it at 100yds and got pretty consistent 1" groups even with the Tasco. (Off the bench)

I may put a Leupold on it...but unless the Tasco gives me trouble I don't really see the point.

The gun/scope combo was $175 at a local dealer. He even threw in a box of shells. They're down to $7.49, which is better than they used to be.

The little NEF will shoot along side any rifle in this caliber. The price is sure right as well. I have seen quite a few of these and they will all shoot half inch or better @ 100 yards.

Hi Fellas let me tell you I just got the stainless Marlin for Christmas and after that I spoke to an area Gun dealer who sell the Marlin Cz RUger and a Henry and he told me that the Marlin out shoots them all, and from what I did with mine I know the others will have to go far to beat cutting holes at 75 yards from an outers varment rest, I have not shot it any further at this time but I intend to try it at squirles at 150 yds next week ( on a corn pile from my rest ) Ill let you know how I make out. So far I am IMPRESSED!!!!

I just recently picked up one in the CZ-452 American. I've heard nothing but praise about these guns, and their accuracy. Click onto the link below for more info on this particular gun.;)

I've got the Marlin VS (stainless) and I love it. Shoots Excellent groups out to 100 yards. I have'nt tried it any further out than that yet. Although it doesn't like the CCI ammo, I use the Hornady ammo.
