    My 17HMR World

    Up to a year ago I had little interest in bolt action rifles or 22 caliber. I ran into a guy at the range who was shooting a 17HMR and he told me about the caliber and let me shoot his rifle. I was hooked. In June I bought a Savage 93R17 BTVLSS because I thought it looked cool and it was left handed. I loved it and probably shot more rounds through it last year than any other rifle I own. In January I ordered a CZ 452, left handed and picked it up a week ago. See pictures below! I had bought a Weaver Classic V 4-16 on sale in January and was going to put it on the CZ until last week. I bought a Bushnell AR 4.5-18 for an AR that needed a scope, but I liked it so much I put it on the CZ and put the Weaver on the AR. The Bushnell is exceptional and compares very well to the Burris Fullfield E1 that I have on the Savage. The Burris is my favorite scope of the 11 that I own and 3 that I have sold. I zero'd the CZ at 50 and then 100 yards today and then I put the target at 50 yards and shot the groups in the picture below. Those groups are good for me.



    I used the Savage on the left side targets and the CZ on the right side targets. On the center target I was shooting at the 7's in the outer rings. I'll update at 100 yards in a few weeks.

      I've been thinking I need .17hmr. I've never had a chance to shoot one, so I'm very interested in seeing your 100y results.

      Cheers!

        I have a left hand CZ 452 in .17 HMR and it is everything OP claims. It is my first 17 HMR too.

              Dude your name is really similar to mine! I also have an obsession with the .17 HMR. People think I'm crazy because when its extra windy, I reach for the .17 hmr. Super hard to buck the wind but its really good practice. Ive noticed that i shoot better with any caliber in the wind because of it.
