Thanks for the replies

this scope is on an expensive  Amchutz 1517 i was looking at, the thinking was possibly selling on the scope thus reducing the rifle cost.

Since then i have bought a superb 1517 for no far less £s & have a Pard 008lrf

My feeling about HMRs is the same as .22LRs - the choice of gun doesn't make much difference, you just need to get lucky finding ammo that works in whichever you buy and then buy as much of the same lot as poss. I have a 1417 .22 and a Lithgow HMR which I'm very happy with - but they don't shoot any better than my mates CZ's in the same calibres, or another chaps Sako and Browning something-bolt. If I was buying again I'd probably get another Tikka due to the T3 foot print and the weight as my Lithgow is fairly hefty.

Certificate came back today

17hmr + Mod + 600 rnds added
.22 air + mod removed
Oh its also an "open ticket" now

Anchutz 1517 17hmr
In really unused condition, not a mark on it
Simmonds Expedition 6-18x42 ao scope - Wildcat Panther Mod - Garland Assult Rifle Slip 45
180 rounds

well pleased, would have preferred the 2 stage trigger, but hey ho
Im very pleased with the rifle & cant wait to get out

I shouldered a Quad last Saturday & it was well balanced, i already have the 1417 .22LR with deluxe stock & love it, the 1517 has the 18" barrel with t/h stock so the balance will be different.

When i bought my 1417 ..LR although a high initial price tag , take off what came with it reduced it to below a new Tikka .22 LR

Anschutz , might be pricey but absolutely brilliant , i used to have a cz455 but sold it in favour of the annie  best move ever , lighter , laser accurate , just a lovely gun to carry , shoulder and shoot 

i already have the 1417 so knew what i was getting and wasnt dissappointed

Here is my 1417 .22LR with its new Pard 008 lrf

Had i not found the 1417 i would have has the Tikka 22lr

i have done a 1-4-1 & have 17hmr on the ticket due back any day now.

I have a superb Anchutz 1417 LR, Deluxe with Pard 008 lrf  that is a keeper & as i have paddock perms that req a quiet rifle

So wise ones what 17hmr do i get ???

I really like the 1417 but do i need to invest so much,in a 17. i fondled a Tikka this afternoon + & a Sako Quad & a Savage, the sako shouldered much nicer than the savage

I have just gained another 600 acres of rabbit corvid land

Thanks Andrew.

The only way to get very accurate 22 is to wade through the ammo and find what it likes...

I think i will send off for a variation to my FAC and keep my eye out for a second hand one 👍

I bought an Anschutz 1417  deluxe stock in mint condition & with the scope,spare 10 shot mag, quality sling & Mod, it was cheaper than a new Tikka  ( sans mod,scope,sling )with plastic stock. I am well pleased every time i pick it out of the cabinet

Is there no moderation here to safeguard buyers, i have bought a couple of items in the short time i have been here, with out issue, just as one would expect 

Hi Steve
