I wanted a 17wsm but after handling a bmag in person there was no way I was going to buy one. I decided to buy a TC Contender carbine length barrel instead (21"). Turned out to be extremely accurate and nearly as much fun and damage inducing as my 17 hornet. In fact, I liked it so much I had another one custom made in a shorter, lighter version for easier packing. Not sure that helps you any, but another option to consider.
