17 hmr
 

I just bought a new 17vs Marlin and I am having trouble buying shells for it. Any suggestions to where I may be able to purchase some.

RE: 17 hmr
 

You should be able to pick some up at the gander mountain in greensburg or that woodlands outdoor world out on 40 headed towards nemacolin.

Thanks wimp, but unfortunately I am stationed in Ca in the USMC at Camp Pendleton. And finding shells for my 17 has been difficult. Yeah if I was back home in PA I would have no problem finding them. Unfortunately I have one more year of active duty before I can move home, thanks.

RE: 17 hmr
 

Oh, good luck out there in Ca. I' d just like to say thanks to you and all the others serving in our military.

Still searching for shells for my 17vs can anybody please sell me a box. I know somebody out there has more than one box sitting around. These shells are sold out everywhere here in CA. I dont think they will be getting them in for about 6 weeks. Please help me, Thanks. SEMPER FI, Have new Marlin but know shells, bummer.

RE: 17 hmr
 

try a hunting store on the net...Cabelas, Bass Pro...etc. they all deliver, some free.

RE: 17 hmr
 

Hey Jd I already tried they are sold out. Thanks anyhow.

RE: 17 hmr
 

Try www.gunbroker.com , alot of people on there are selling them. If you don' t know what it is, it' s like ebay but only with guns and ammo.

Went out with my NEF 17HMR today, lot of fun. Had no problem hitting empty 357 sig shells at 35yds.

RE: 17 hmr
 

I went to a gun-shop that was having a sale today. They had the Savage black-stock/blue barrel 17HMR for $154. They also had the Savage stainless with a beautiful stock and bull barrel for $259. I was going to get the latter, until the guy told me that he can' t keep shells in for them, and neither can anybody else.

I called a couple other places, and was pretty much laughed at when I asked for 17 shells.

I' m going to get one if they can start producing them at a little better rate.

RE: 17 hmr
 

I think they are producing them as fast as they can. They are selling out faster than they can make em. As soon as CCI and Remington get there productions up to speed you' ll see alot more of em.

MATTHEWS, if you cant find any on gunbroker.com, see if there are any on auctionarms.com

Hornaday .17MR labels (among numerous others) are printed in Oregon. Standing order for 100,000 .17 labels a month. How do I know this? Take it to the bank: the pressman is married to my youngest daughter. That' s 50 X 100,000 -- or 5 million .17 rounds every 30 days -- assuming Hornaday is actually maintaining that level of production. Same presses are now printing CCI' s new .17MR 50-round box labels as well; monthly runs vary from 50,000 to 100,000. No, I don' t have an inside track to any of this ammo, so don' t call.

Suspicions abound. My own take is that no such ammo really exists. Hornaday is simply wallpapering every outhouse in Nebraska with these decorative red labels as a good-will gesture, free of charge. To keep snow from drifting thru the knot holes and thereby raising the standard of living. Hey! -- you got a better explanation?

RE: 17 hmr
 

I stayed with the old 22mag and can get shells quite easly for it, and about half the price of the 17. Zeak

RE: 17 hmr
 

Zeak...I' m torn between the availability of the 22WMR, and the range of the 17HMR. The 17 shoots twice as flat as the 22mag...but costs more.

What to do...What to do...LOL

Im already seeing the cci .17 hmr here in Tahlequah,Oklahoma. I noticed them yesterday when picking up a featherweight 270 wsm. They are running $10.50 a box. The gun store i visit sells the ammo fast as he recieves it, its best to buy a few boxes. Mathews, i have the same exact gun, you will love it. The trigger is a bit heavy and needs lightened on mine but it still shoots great. I just need to get a descent scope on it. Currently it has a cheapo powerline scope i got for about $30.00 at wal-mart. Ive read ont he marlin forumns where several people use a bkl mounting system and bushnell banner 50mm scopes. u can find the forumns ont he marlin page under marlin talk. Im not sure what ive been paying for the hornady brand as ive only bought ammo once sense having the gun (got a few boxes) and the price was totaled in and i didnt keep the recipt.
