[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1158771, member: 35183"] I think the Ruger is the first decent rifle to be offered in 17WSM. The Savage Bmag 1 and 2 were both widely reported to be absolute garbage and after my experience with one of the most expensive Savage 22mags, I will never get another Savage Rimfire unless they do something completely different to what they are doing now. I personally don't know who will want to spend $1100+ on a Volquartsen which shoots non reloadable ammo which is just about impossible to buy and of quite dubious quality. I think that Winchester has actually stopped making the 25gr ammo, which was the recommended weight for coyotes. For the most part, all you can buy now is the 20gr stuff which is getting to be light for coyotes. If MI DNR would allow sportsmen to use the 17 or 22 Hornet, it would be a far superior solution with much reduced ammo cost and the ability to tailor the load to your individual rifle. But of course since it has remained rimfire only for the last who knows how many years (22lr and 22mag) I must be stupid for thinking that anything could change... [/QUOTE]
