I have several 17's, one is a M700 Classic 17 Rem I got from a pawn shop. I just don't use it, I should, I have a few thousand 25 gr Hornady HP's and the old 25 Berger match. 17 Rems are my favorite of the 17's.
You ever wanna thin out some of those 25gr HPs, you know who to message…
I’m just getting started w/ the .17s myself, and lucked in to a Remington 700 in .17FB from the factory. I haven’t shot it yet (soon!), but my plan is to shoot it with the factory barrel first. If it’ll hold at least MOA, I’ll shoot it as-is for a little bit. Otherwise I’ll get it sent off for another barrel as soon as I can. I love my .17HMR, so I imagine the Fireball can only be an improvement!
And as for our resident Loudmouth Misspeller, I put him on ignore a long time ago. Sometimes, if I’m feeling down and need a good laugh, I’ll open a few of his comments and have a good chuckle, and then I feel better. As long as too many folks don’t feel the troll, the threads stay pretty clean of cheap, unimaginative insults.
