I dont know.......less than 17 hornet performance, can't reload, expensive compared to other non-reloadable rounds and all with our current economy.......I hope I am wrong (because I like 'em all) but I see this one going the way the way of the WSSMs, Remington's SAUM, and Rugers RCM???? I think they would have been much further off offering something that is not out there that offers a significant advantage over what is out there......I think a .20 Winchester Magnum would fare better - just sayin..............best of luck Winchester but I'm going to be using my .17 Ackley Hornet.

What guns will it be chambered in? It looks to big to be in a normal .22 or .22 Magnum action.

It looks like Savage will be first out with new rifles, which is cool with me because they make some dandy little rimfires. If they can make one that shoots as accurately as my Model 93 BRJ (sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with the right 22 Mag ammo when the wind isn't howling) I'll certainly want to play with one: http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/93BRJ I understand a couple of other manufacturers are also working on rifles. Hopefully we'll see some at SHOT. It will be interesting to see if this takes off. I suspect it might.
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

First announcement for a 17 WMR I picked up on another Site was from Savage : Model B ( Stock # 96901 ) which will have its own sized Action . 22 inch Sporter BBL , Accutrigger , Black Syn. Stock , and an MSRP around $300 . Can CZ , Cooper , etc. be far behind ?

i would love to hear guesses or speculations if thompson center or one or more of the custom shops make a barrel that will fit on a TC carbine or pistol.
if so, i'd love to have one.
