srvet Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Don't know about the 17h but I had one in 222 and loved the rifle except the wing safety that fouled on the bottom of the scope with low mounts. Worth checking this aspect out first though the wing could probably be reduced somewhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkjack Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks srvet good to no they are a good action do you no if this is the 54 action? I'll bear in mind the safety issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Sorry I don't, I sold the rifle in 1998 so the details escape me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 The safety is a rotating clip on the bolt, for a RH shot I always found it awkward to use. The one I had (1712 in 22LR) locked at the back of the bolt only, however looking at the current 223 build specs this may have been changed, something to check. There is one here already done, quite cheap considering the price of a barrell and fitting. http://www.gunstar.co.uk/anschutz-1730-17-hornet-rifles/rifles/687927 Another look suggests its been sold, not surprised at that money.
