i still own 3 - 17`s all in the 17 Remington cartridge the Remington 700 shoots 3/8 or less 5 shot groups at 4,000 fps 24 inch barrel ,the Sako shoots 1/2 inch groups at 3,850 fps 22 inch barrel , TC Contender with a 20 inch shoots 1 1/4 groups 3500 fps. all 3- rifles with many 5 shot groups at 100 yards,25 grain bullets. the Sako 17 rifle i used the most for hunting which i killed lots of prairie dogs,fox,coyotes even a deer and antelope. my son loved the Sako 17 at my range on pop cans filled with water when he was 10 years and older,he blew those pop cans up with that 17 Sako alot.
