There is a CZ 17 hmr on GGVG classifieds for $280 no rings.

Joel 1316 - I love the way that X-17 looks. I'm going to contact Ruger to see if I can order a stock for my 77/17 All Weather.I bought a VQ 20" powder coated barrel from www.rimfiresports.com for about $300 bucks. They also have the VQ trigger sear for $30. The sear made my trigger come down to a sweet 1 1/2 lbs and took (literally) 45 seconds to install!My point is, the Ruger can be upgraded if you don't have the $$$ for the VQ.Out of the box my 77/17 shot between 1/2" - 3/4" at 100 yards. Not bad!The VQ barrel and sear brought it to 1/4" @ 100 yards (with no wind).If you can, get the VQ. Nothing like exterminating varmints as fast as you can pull the trigger!

Yeah, I just saw that VQ has a semi auto .204 that can use AR mags. If that thing is CA legal, I'm almost considering it, but it's almost $2000. But a semi .204 with a 30 round AR mag would be the best varmint gun on the planet!!!

Well, it's not a .204 but it takes 30 round mags and even a 75 round drum. Plus it shoots 1/4 MOA at a hundred yards.

Sniper 17 hmr .25" groups? You should enter the matches on rfc and show those boys how to do it, they are all from Missouri "The Show Me State"

.204 Sniper - Thanks! I'll have to look into rimfiresports for that trigger sear.

No B.S. - those VQ barrels are worth thier weight in gold! I'll post some groups after my next range day.Note: If anybody on this forum buys a VQ barrel (rimefiresports had it AT MY DOOR in 2 days!) you'll need a Dremel or a gunsmith. The part of the barrel that seats into the receiver is a perfect fit. BUT - you will need to dremel out the bottom of the recess (where the 2 screws bolt in) about .010". It took me about a minute to do it. I also recommend coating the part of the barrel that fits into the receiver with red loctite - let it sit after installing (DO NOT TIGHTEN SCREWS ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE LOCTITE IS SET!) then torque it down the next morning and enjoy your one holers!

My M1A cost me around $1700 and is great, but a 30 round semi-auto .204 would be a LOT more fun! I think I can almost justify the expense. Thank god I don't have one of those wife things, they sound awful for the gun hobbyist!

But you only have 1/2 a life without one. The other half is your kids! db

I replied with, 'The guns stay or I go with them!'Here we are 6 years later and she shoots with me! She's been converted - she just chokes on the price of quality sometimes![quote name='Bozsik' post='19008' date='Jul 25 2006, 05:27 PM']But you only have 1/2 a life without one. The other half is your kids! db[/quote]And when you watch one of them connect with the X ring or thier first kill - it's even better than the hunt! Just got to get a wife you can convince to shoot WITH you or accept your hobby (ESPECIALLY when your in the garage reloading for 2-3 hours a night!)
