Has anyone had any experience with their .17 rifle?

I am not able to give you any honest info but I spoke with a representative there and they claim that they are capable of sub-MOA. I researched this rifle as extensively as possible but there is very little to go on and none of the wholesalers stock them (at least when I checked). Good luck, the design appears sound and should perform if executed properly. They are not doing much to debut this rifle to the shooting public and I recently saw a post somewhere (might have been here?) that was not very positive but may have been a monday gun. Hope more info comes in, I'll be watching

I have one coming back from being completely rebuilt twice now. It has been back for multiple problems.

Every time a I call they send me a call tag and fix any issue. The feeding issues were due to a feed ramp misalignment and a magazine denting the rounds while loading. They now have slotted mags with a loading tool to prevent denting.

The thing that concens me most is this rifle is blowing cases apart! It has also blown pieces off the stock blown the extractor out of the reciever.... but it has a lifetime warenty.

Probably because the owner will need it?? Sounds like one heck of a gun.

I've actually seen a couple run perfect.. I showed a guy up at Los Altos how to load his mags and he was just haveing a blast.

The one I sold was to a board member here. When guns come back to me I feel bad and take it personal when my customers are not happy. It makes it tough for me to give a glowing report.

it sure is a cool gun. A semi in 17 and 22mag is a realy pest killer. I had a marlin bolt action in 22mag and it was right in the middle of a 22lr and a 223. Shot 1 inch groups at 100 yards too. I'd like to own another 22mag gun again.
