Just need to get the barrel shortened slightly (for getting in and out of truck) and threaded for suppressor ;)
That sounds good Cambo. Im still looking for a 17hmr but not sure what make of rifle I should go for. Not looking to buy an expensive one but something around the $700 mark thats reliable. When do you start back work ?
Probably a marlin or savage would fit the bill here love2huntQuote:

Change the synthetic stock (Way too flimsy) no scope, no suppressor
If it was me I would go the Marlin way. And then save up for ammo. At $30/50 rnds for .17hmr I will stick to my .22. $17.00/100 rnds
Started back on Wed. Sucks!!Quote:

Why not a 22 magnum? Cheaper to run than a 17 and good on wallys as well.
Or maybe a 223? Price for ammo is similar, range 2 or 3 times further. I did the hmr thing a while ago. In the end I sold it off and got a .243 and updated my .22Quote:
