A friend wants a 17HMR in semi-auto in the worst way. He was set on converting a Ruger 10/22 WMR but those were discontinued. A Volquartsen was his next choice but they are not offering the 22WMR/17HMR actions anymore?
He does not want the Magnum Research model, states he wants a 10/22 based action with a Volquartsen barrel (the one with the muzzle break/compensator).
What's the best route nowadays? Bite the big one and buy a Ruger 10/22 magnum then convert with aftermarket?
TIA,
