Though that doesn't mean there won't be one in the future.... “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

Savage and Ruger have also expressed interest, and Anschutz is looking at them, too, according to a poster at www.saubier.com. He isn't any more forthcoming with solid info on the Anschutz, but I have reason to disbelieve him, as he's a good egg... You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

I should see it in about two weeks. Cute little fellow. Has to be great fox round. If you reload it shouldn't cost much more to shoot than the 17 HMR. I'm hoping Lil gun works as I've a good supply on hand. 17HMR, 17 hornet, 223AI,22-250AI. Last edited by FVA; 05/27/12.

I have a CZ in.17 HMR, and it's great for pest control around the house, but I'd like a little more oomph for fox and coyotes. It's all in the reflexes.
