17 Hornet

[nortpete]

I decided to buy a 17 hornet for this years predator and fall turkey season. I have been trying to find one for a little while, and on Saturday I had a little luck. I had found 4 of them. I finally made it out to shoot it last night, and I am very happy with it. Shooting chucks will be fun, but I cannot wait until October!!!!! The first three shots at the top were my first shots at 100 yards. I made an adjustment then shot three and one 3/4" inch high.

     It looks like you went with the Savage Walking Predator model.  I have the same gun and LOVE IT !!  Once you get a few more rounds through it, your groups may actually tighten up a little more.  Thus far, i haven't  had much problem getting ammo for it either.

     I actually have about 1000 rounds stockpiled.  Get it now while you still can!!  Nice group.  You're going to love shooting that rifle!!!

I bought 200 rounds when I bought it. I love the way it shoots. I put a Redfield 4-12x40 mm scope on it. I have never owned a Redfield, but they are made by Leupold. I am happy with it so far.

Nice looking gun. Does that have the accu-trigger?

[nortpete]

     There is one problem that I can see with your shooting.....There won't be any excuses if you miss!!

[nortpete]

I will most likely miss half of what I call in. I get so excited and shake bad!

Iffin you would like....I'll take that and break it in for ya.... .....chipmunks are coming out already    only one pigmy grizzly bear sighting so far though..

If you are going to use it a lot I would recommend getting 5,000-10,000 rounds or at least that much brass.

     I'll second that.  You'll blow throu 200 rounds real quick!!!  Get em' while you can find em' !!
