Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles OK .17 looneys...

Thats no way to talk to your elders!


Im retreating to my own private little world.


Bite me.

Travis, it was $1145.. It looked almost new.. If you need more info. drop me a pm.. We are heading out for a couple days bird hunting..

Here's at quick pic of the LVSF I recently restocked:



Didn't have much time or sun for better pics this weekend.

The gun started out as a bone stock LVSF 17 Rem. It shot so-so, but knew it could do better. Had Eddie bed the new Classic Edge stock, re-crown and blueprint the trigger. Trigger was set at 2.5#. I added Talley LW's and a VX-3 3.5-10x40. Shot it yesterday and put four out of five into a 1/2" or so at 100 yards. Load was 24 gr. of IMR-4320, Berger 25 gr Match Target, Rem 7 1/2 and R-P brass with a .010" jump. Oh, I have a GreTan Fluted pin assembly installed too.

Stock is OD Green with black and grey specks.

I'll get better pics with better light soon.

You done good.

Mine is still better though.




Travis

Haha

Thanks

Forgot to mention Eddie bushed the firing pin for me too.

You only say that when mines not around.

Mine is still the greatest .17 Remington IN THE WORLD.

One of the nicest rifle I have ever owned,built by PO.Ackley back in the 50's,L46 Sako 17-222,Canjar trigger,old K10 Weaver with 1/4 min do.Chronograph old 20gr Sisk bullets at over 4300 but they shed the jackets,can get 25 gr Hornady's real close with excellent accuracy.

Very nice!

Very cool old school.

Some better pics of the best 17 on here:

get that POS bloodied.....

I do like the looks of that one!


But Don is right....it needs to be blooded.

Only been out once with it so far for predators. Not many chances up here anyways. Only a couple a year. Next year will be great to get out after the crows though.
