After imput here and other reading, I'm leaning toward the CZ 452 .17HMR or the CZ453(has a set trigger). Hardly anyone stocks them except Gander Mountain, so haven't picked one up to see how they feel..du
DU, I think you will be well served by the 17HMR. While I have never owned a CZ, they do have a very good reputation. How much do they run?
Bass Pro has a heavy barrelled blued Savage bolt action in 17HMR with accu-trigger on sale for $219. I personally bought the Stainless Bull Barrelled Savage with the thumbhole stock. It ain't much for totin around, but it sure works great from a fixed position.
At 100 yds, it will average less than 3/4 of an inch all day long, wind permitting, and my best 100 yd group to date was .375".
Wreaks havoc on turtles!!
