[QUOTE="bballard, post: 3078269, member: 25875"] I snagged one of the ruger 77/17 wsm's when they first came out.....now they tend to be pretty expensive since ruger stopped making them. I really like mine. I did shim the bolt and tweaked the trigger to make it even better. What you can't take from the round is the fact that you have a rimfire doing 3000 fps......about what my handloads in my 7mm rem mag hit with 160 gr accubonds......pretty impressive when you think about it! I got rid of my 17 hmr........no need for it when you have a wsm.....the thing is on a string out to 200 yards, which is where it shines....not so much when you get past that........I bought a case of ammo when I got it, but I do see it for sale on line.....price doesn't bother me..... Cost of groceries right now bother me more........ . [/QUOTE]
