223magic Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi Guys I have just upgraded my CZ 17HMR and purchased a Sako Quad 17.hmr and was wondering what other owners think of theirs ??? I have shot it in and it seems good quality and pretty accurate. I have decked it out with a wildcat mod bushnell scope and harris bipod, it will be used mainly for lengthy rabbits. Any comments would be appreciated Mike.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyt Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 There OK , ive just chopped a few inchs of mine , i think its around 17 inches now.i found it handy for caliber swaps with work in mind , i use the Mac 2 barrel quite a bit on factory sites (reduced noise and the Hmr can have a bit much over kill in some areas. All this said they are quite a nice rifle for the money and there are lots of after market add on bits about. Iam makeing a program for my Lathe so i can rebarrel it , lilja make a good after market barrel a bit costly though, but they shoot lights out . so i would like to chamber and make my own but this all comes down to how much i can get hold of good barrel blanks. Hope you enjoy your quad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6.5shooter Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 I had one and couldnt get to shoot anything under an inch consistently at 100 yards so I sold it and dont really miss it. Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
