[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 2292143, member: 110162"] I stuck a Hawke 4-16 scope on my 77/17 . It has an etched reticle for the 17hmr that goes to 300yds. Illuminated too. It goes in 25 yd increments from 100-300 with the polymer tipped 17gr bullet at 2550fps as the ballistic model. My Lilja 23 inch barrel showed up today and i spent 4 hrs swapping shims between the 2 pc bolt and barrel to receiver interface till I got zero gap at the barrel to bolt surface without any extra bolt closing effort. I had already cut the rim headspacing for a .0475 rim thickness on the bolt previously. I ordered a Boyd's barracuda stock too. That should be here Friday. I have everything sitting here to pillar/glass bed the stock when it gets here. Gun shot in the .75 range consistently at 100 and .2-.3 at 50 with the last barrel and the ruger plastic stock. Has managed .2s at 100 when the planets aligned and I held my mouth just right, but I couldn't find that lot number after I burned up the one box I had. It shot sub moa with anything in a 17gr bullet though. I'm hoping for half moa average once I'm done with this rebuild. Squirrels are on notice that death may come from a distance that they never hear the pop from the little round, lol. [/QUOTE]
