Night shooter Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Just wondering if any of you chaps are in the possesion of a Ruger 77/17HMR? Or failing that does anyone know anything much about them, Good or Bad. I fancy one and don't want to be disapointed once i've spent the money. :blink: Also, what scope would you recommend. I like the simmons whitetail i've got on my .22, would this be good enough for a .17hmr? Cheers Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyRS6 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Yes I have sir. :blink: Its a great Rifle. I was actually shooting it on Sunday in pretty gusty conditions. It remained fairly accurate. And when he said Cupraman, he meant me Forum name change recently Edited January 14, 2008 by ShaggyRS6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night shooter Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Looks a nice set-up you have there mate. I'd probably go for a laminate stock. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it all and where did you pick it up from? Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I got it second hand. Everything you see came to £500 from Chris Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night shooter Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Another question i have is, how much can you pick the ammo up for? nd what is the best sort to use? Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyRS6 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Have a look here Night Shooter. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...c=43890&hl= Federal V-Shock are what I am using. These are groupings from my first time with he rifle, so they have improved I think I pay £12:00 per box which contain 50 rounds I believe.

Night shooter Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Good shooting I don't think you have much to complain about with those groups, especially given the conditions. Have you tried pushing it out any futher yet? My .22Lr has a very heavy trigger on it whats it like on the .17hmr? Don't suppose your looking to sell it?lol Jonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trigger is really heavy. It needs a Trigger kit which I have and need to fit. But I cant work out how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
