I recieved an email from KYGUNCO this week, and in it was this rifle from Hammerli Arms.This toggle action is similar to a Volquartsen I'm interested in for about half the price. I've been looking for a 17 HM2 rifle and Volquartsen and Savage are about the only game right now. This might be a cheaper option into an HM2 without buying the Volquartsen or building a full custom on a Bergara B14r . I know Hammerli makes decent air rifles, but I've never been around their rimfire products.

It's uglier than a hat full of ass holes.

Any accuracy reports out there yet?

They announced them a month ago and it was mentioned here that Hammerli is part of Umarex now. It may not be the same Hammerli we've come to respect.
After being burned buying a Turkish 22 with an American brand name recently, I'll wait for accuracy reviews before I buy one.
I do like the concept!

WTF ??? - apparently whoever is behind that video was heavily influenced by the Mad Max movies. I have watched it twice and am still not sure what it is about or is supposed to represent or why it would influence someone buy one.

Well, I'd be interested in a real world report as well. I agree the video was stupid, but I could care less about the video they produced. I'm more interested in the switch barrel application.

I do not see the appeal beyond 'one-finger toggling' the bolt.

I won't own one, if for no other reason than that dumbazz video. I didn't want one till I saw the video. Imagining how stealthy & deadly & macho & chit I could be if I had one. You caused me to watch it, now I'll be shaking my head about it all day. Bout like gettin rid of an earworm. Gonna call that vid an eyeworm. But yes, it is an interesting rifle.

I think it's replacing the 10-22 and all that video is missing is the "Tactical Wheelbarrow"..
AKA the legend of "gunkid".

The article in American Rifleman didn't show great accuracy results.

I saw the same article, I'll pass. I had hope for it but tacticool isn't enough, it has to shoot.

That's very ugly. I wouldn't care if it shot ragged hole groups. I had a Savage to do that, and even it was not as ugly..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
