RE: Which HMR 17 ????

I've looked at the Marlin,Savage and the Ruger 77/17. Of the three the Ruger was the most expensive and the best quality.The Savage looked nice and workmanship was very good.I only looked at the one Marlin. I was very disappointed in the workmanship.The trigger guard wasn't fitted well, there was bluing missing from the bolt handle.It just wasn't up to Marlin's quality.If and when I decide to get one it will be the Ruger,just because.
Soark, I can't handle this. Twice in one week you mention getting a Ruger.It seizes to amaze me.I knew you would come around,just not this soon.LOL.... Ruger Redhawk
