The 17 Hornet is built on the .22 Hornet action...not the 77/22 action....
And they aren't "too too".....
Explain the difference. 22 LR through 44 Magnum to 22 and 17 Hornet, they are all rear (mid) locking, rotating face bolt guns on exactly the same receiver, are they not? Ruger changes the bottom configuration to accept the different length calibers. They change the rotating front half of the bolt for RF vs CF and the rim diameter. I'm not knocking the platform. I own two in 22 LR and 22 WRM. I think they are one of the finest light bolt guns ever made.
I just wanted to get a feel for whether anyone was experienced the issues this guy reported with the 17 Hornet I run aftermarket headspace shims in both the 77/22 guns I own. I'm thinking this would solve the issue on the 17 as well.
"too too" ... I previewed the post and everything......DANG. My brain is faster than my fingers.
