Well,
I guess I'm hooked. I bought a complete rifle with G2 receiver, synthetic stock with high comb, 21" (I think) 17 HMR heavy barrel and a scope mount. Gonna try to find my 223 and/or 30-30 barrel. May have one of two manufacturers make one for me. At least I'm started. I've never had a 17 HMR so it will be a new experience. I'm guessing the grandkids will like it.
Thanks all,
Rick
