Fotis, I love my 22 wmr. The guys at the range think it's funny because I put a Zeiss scope on it, but the rifle is well deserving of good glass. I'm hoping your 17 works out just as well as my 22 magnum has for me. I actually liked mine so much that after I had it for a couple weeks I thought about buying another one because they were on sale for $250.00. Well worth that price if you ask me..
Another plus is Talley makes lightweight rings for it. I opted for them vs. the weaver #12's. I think it is a winning combination on these sweet little rifles:
