Nice gun and nice shooting! Glad to see someone get a 17hmr and shoot at a good distance and not 25 yards or 50 yards. Hope you have lots of fun shooting it, looks like a lot of fun to me! ;D

Mine is the spiting image of yours, except mine is not fluted.
it will shoot a inch group ,at a hunderd yrds.shot a lot of turtles at well over 200yrds. Enjoy, Love mine.

Very Nice 8)
Did you shoot off the Bipod or bags ?

[CATWHISKERS]

Bags, My trigger is very light, done some work to it,
took the center acu trigger out to get a better feal.
put a plastic hose on trigger, for a trigger shoe. works great.
also polished sear, and cut some coils off spring.
havent ckecked the weight, but it know it is in the ounces,
very light, if you try this ,cut a coil at a time, till you like it.
takes a little time ,but worth it.
makes all the difference in the world ,when it comes to tight groups.
good glass, and good trigger. hope this helps.

I just joined this forum today. Yours is the first post I looked at because I am picking up mine in two days. How did you mount the bipod? Do you like the bipod you have on the rifle? Did you consider a barrel mounted bipod? I hate drilling holes in a new gun stock. I vave been looking at bipods and there are so many out there that it gets confusing. I am sure there are a lot of suggestions out there. Thanks for the help :)

[stevsr31]

Hi The bipod is mounted with the front swivel mount ( yes you have to drill into your new gun!!!!!!!!) I don't like to mount on barrel as I like it to free float as much as possible no load on it Hope it helps
