I just procured a Ruger 77/17 HM2 from here on the fire in the heavy barrel target grey/laminate variant. Have only shot about 60 rds through it but was able to shoot a .263” 5-shot group @ 50 yds with the Hornady 17 gr. CCI was not quite as consistent but still quite good. It was too windy to shoot great groups as the targets were moving in the wind. Looking forward to wringing it out in calmer conditions and taking it out to 100.
I was alternating between the new to me Ruger and my T1X 17 HMR and the noise level is very noticeable. The mach2 was hanging in there on accuracy though. Am looking to lay in a supply of ammo when I catch a deal.
