[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2699622, member: 8394"] For hunting I liked it, but I definitely skew towards hunting type accuracy not benchrest. My buddy has one I've shot a fair bit, it is the 18.5 inch stainless threaded variant. Ended up buying a vq instead of the ruger one because I got a smoking deal on a vq. I liked the package so much I bought a 17 hornet that's being cut down to identical trim but with a slightly longer mag and bolt throw. Pros Feel nice, feels like a real rifle Magazines are good and reasonable price Cons Heavier than b mag Current gb prices is eye watering, like just build a rimx eye watering The big one is ammo. I went b mags to vq and had several k rounds in ammo, if starting from 0 it may be months to a year before we see 17 wsm on the shelf. If your new to 17 wsm I'd consider finding ammo first. The rifles a neat one, neat enough I'll buy one if ruger ever does another run and they come back in reality as far as price wise. Not sure if it's more accurate than the b mag, but the ergo was enough for me to be worth it. [/QUOTE]
