Just looking at what may be out there. I am mainly looking for a 17 HMR or a 243. 30-30 or a 35 Rem would be great (wishful thinking)! LOL Not interested in Mags or 209x50. Let me know what you may have I'm easily swayed!! LOL Thanks for your time & Stay Safe out there!!!.....

I would just suggest that instead of the 17 HMR, look at the 17 Hornet. The Hornet is a far superior cartridge to the HMR. Just as wicked accurate, but launches the 25gr. (not the smaller 20gr) at 3300fps. Better range and far better killing power.
I had a 17HMR years ago and sold it. I now have the Savage M25 and reload for the Hornet. Groundhogs out to 300 yards it's a one shot deal!!!

Thanks for the suggestion. I do not reload and I am mainly looking for this light caliber for my grandson...
