Boarman03 Report post Posted July 20, 2020 Don't have to have but would be fun when we take the kids out to show the difference from the .17 Cal.s up to a 50 BMG (have access to an M82A1) We are always looking for very low cost miscellaneous ammo. Still struggling to build up reloading die library. Prices went up significantly with retail ammo reduction in availability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted July 20, 2020 I’ve got a 17 rem fireball. If you’re looking for a rifle in one of the three mentioned, i would steer away from it. I love it but ammo is tough to find and a PITA to reload. 17 hornet would probably be your best bet currently. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdown Report post Posted July 20, 2020 I used to have a model seven in 17rem. Fun lightweight predator and pig gun. If you hit bone, it leaves a big hole, if you double lung it leaves a very little hole (pigs, foxes and coyote). A lot of speed in a very small barrel. If you are only talking about centerfires, I agree, I've always wanted a 17 hornet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have one and my brother does, the only two I’ve ever seen!! Love that rifle. I killed hundreds of coyotes and fox with it here in ND. Even a couple whitetails!! Don’t shoot it much anymore but that was my ride or die truck rifle all through middle school high school and college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdown Report post Posted July 20, 2020 That's cool, I have never seen one before either. I ordered mine when I worked at a gun shop back in mid 90s. I sold to a guy that actually moved to Fargo. I had a model seven youth stock for it that I ordered and then the full size stock that came with it. My kid shot his first pig with it with the youth stock. I'll reach out to him and see if by chance he is looking to sell it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
