I should add that my dad built a 17 HMR out of a Ruger 10/22 in 22 Mag, with carbon fiber bbl, heavy bolt, and special recoil spring. He never shot it while he was alive. I swapped out the crappy factory trigger for the Ruger light trigger (that they should put in the guns in the first place). It will shoot a full 9 shots into an inch at 100 yds with whatever ammo I've this tried. Awesome rig, just awesome.
