I was given a CZ Varmint in .17 Hornet for my birthday.
Nice rifle, except for the fact that it would not feed from the magazine.
I took it to town to see the gunsmith and we polished the extractor a bit and now if feeds much better. I have read about feeding issues with the Savage as well.
The chamber is a little rough too, might polish it some if I get around to it.
Kind of disappointed that it would not feed at first, but with that sorted I am back to liking it.
I put a Fullfield II on it, 4.5 to 14.
Nothing against Ruger, just seems like they might get a bit scarce now that they are not making the 77's anymore.
