A17 Why not?

[s3silver]

Didn’t see many threads on here about how the A17 shoots; just a lot on trigger mods. Well…I’m about to pull the trigger on one in a few days. Any real reason why I shouldn’t? I really only have two main concerns: 1. Cycling 2. Accuracy

So A17 owners out there, can you provide some feedback on cycling and accuracy of this rifle.

Maybe find Youtube vids of A17 ? What's your planned use ? What accuracy do you want/need ?

Ended up buying one. Main use would be to plink at the range and the occasional squirrel hunt. So far the accuracy is very very good at 50 and 100 yards. It shoots about 1/2" at 50 and 1" at 100 yards and I wasn't really trying to get the smallest groups. Was really just sighting in the scope and letting some rounds fly. Ammo used were Federal v-max, Winchester NTX, and Hornady NTX. They all shot about the same and couldn't really tell the difference. I did have a few hang ups feeding from the mag. I read these can be finicky so will continue to play around with it to see if it goes away.
