If Ruger ever comes on board with an American/17WSM or even. 77/17WSM, it will fly off the shelves. If they don't, it is history.

Stainless Ruger American in 17 WSM...Hmmmm...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Sweet. It looks like ruger finally redid the hornet action to include a rimfire bolt and mag. I should get one to go with the whore-gnat.

thanks Okay velocity wise. Short on weight and diameter. The idea, I think, is cheap,and easy.
What fresh Hell is this?

Think of it as a .22 Hornet substitute for the non-reloaders. Also useful on public land where center fires are not allowed.

Bull...... it is to be thunk about as a loaded-down 17 Hornet. A tweener/twixter kinda deal...... it is a rimfire between the 17HMR and centerfire 17hornet

My BMAG works just fine. OK..it isn't the prettiest gun on the block but it shoots and functions well. I know that sage rats don't like it at all. AND I'm seeing ammo for it coming back into the market.
I like the cartridge and hope it survives. Great gun especially for a kid to drag around.
