Just got off the phone with a bud who is over on the Varminter.com site and he said the owner of the place did a write up on Savage bringing out their A17 in 17HM2 and are due to announce it soon. So I did some fishing and this is what I came up with.
www.varminter.com/the-new-savage-arms-a17-in-17-mach-2-17hm2/
If things go as promised I will be in line for one of them.. We have the A17 in 17HMR but its a safe queen for the most part. It isnt near as accurate as the bolt guns so it stays in the dark.. I am not pushing a Semi Auto rimfire for obvious reasons -- they eat ammo like kids do candy... But I want another HM2 period. The 2 we have now started as Marlin M25 in 22LR, rebarreled both. Ok, we didn't do the work sent them to Shilen and they did it all. I do have a Green Mountain 17cal barrel setting in its sleeve waiting on something to come along that needs to be tweaked. The biggest thing I got was the Ammo is for sale now from CCI so next call will be to the LGS and place my order for a small hoarders supply of them. Not taking any chances this time around, I will have a stock pile set aside. The stuff we have now is Aguila because that's all we could find, its not bad ammo but its is also hard to find now around here too.
Aguila has been promising some 5mm Rem ammo for years but so far that has not appeared so I am going to jump before I am near the end of the line this time. Stuff my old feelings of leave some for the other guys, my plan is to get my stock pile and if I have some extra I may part with that if need be. I am not doign it to hoard the stuff but I alos see the need to jump before its all gone or not just buy enough to meet my current need - think about the future.. I saw where Midsouth has Aguila 22LR on sale - yes I already placed that order -- got 10K coming that should last me and the boys a few years LOL. For the price I will put it in with the rest of the stash, we have been shooting more of it this spring than usual so it may be a good plan.
Ok, got to shake a leg I need to get back to helping in the kitchen...
