Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Which chambering would you get rid of first?

The 17HM2 is about as much fun as you can have to 100 yards with ammo that costs around $5/50. He also laid in a supply of 10K rounds at $3.50/50. The 17HM2, while a bit of a bastich stepchild, shoots with very good precision with a reasonable price. Point and shoot to 100 yard for the most part, you won't see a 22LR do that.

The 7.5x55 is for match shooting, the sights cost more than the rifle...who the heck gets rid of what is basically a .308?

get rid of the 475 and the 8mm mauser

I'd ditch the 17 Mach 2 and maybe the 22 Mag. Any TC stuff is gone. Ditch the 270 Roy, 7mm BR, 7.5x55, 284, and 25-06. You could probably pick between the 7mm-08 and 260, while letting the other go as well.

The 17 mach 2 in a good 10/22 is a riot.

Good thing I didn't have one as a kid,or there'd be nothing left.(grin)

The 7BR, in a factory XP, shoots better than about 98% of the factory rifles I've seen...probably going to stay.

Punched to 7-08,they really start to shine.

Hint.

In fairness.

that is stupid

Since it's in an XP-100, definitely keep it. I've got one in Fireball and they are nothing short of awesome.

You walked past another mirror and had another uncontrollable outburst I see.

I reckon it as being a concise critique,of that which was reflected.

I can imagine one of those would be pretty wild. Lots of dead little critters for certain.

NO it wouldnt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I've only shot it in the ubiquitous Fajen T-hole Sillywet handle and that was familiar territory and a fluid transition.

It'd be a terror in a Sage Rat seige.

The .284 is also a former 7mm BR on that platform. Still shoots, takes a little more concentration than it did in the original config. Nice handle on that one. I don't know if I'd want a thumbhole on the .284 as it's a little "twisty" during recoil.

i like them all but not one of them

I could very much like a midgripped XP in 284Win.

Definitely. What's the farthest you've rung it out at? I imagine it holds up fairly out to 100?

The Mach 2 wearing turrets,will rattle [bleep] easily,over twice that far.

No thats a bad gun

Make sure to have a better(easier) bolt stop installed if you get the urge to scratch that itch, kind of a bich to unload with a unfired round otherwise!
