Travis Thanks Travis. Best thing I ever did and damn will it shoot. Perfect action size, perfect hunting trigger, and perfect carbon fiber stock. Have I mentioned that I really like this rifle?

Wow Dingo. Are those Fox worth anything? Back in the mid to late 70's Fox skins in Australia were worth as much $40 each (a lot of money back then) Today they are pretty much worthless. The pic was taken on a 1999 hunt when my cousin and I shot 60 Foxes in 4 nights (16,24,10 and 10) I became a .17 Remington devotee after that hunting trip.

Travis Yep,,, 22", 9 twist, 3 grove Pac-Nor. Shoots allot better'n I can, and handles ike a dream. She's actually on her third barrel, and the safety's never let me down yet. LOL I did replace an extractor a couple yers ago though.

I've had a .17 Remington since the early 80's. It's a tad overbore. I'm waiting for my 17/222 reamer.
