Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
I talked to Savage late last week and they "said" they will ship in late April. :-\ I talked to Hornady and the gal did not know that the gun was not available yet. ::) Ask them to give Savage a little push and she said they would do that. Mark

I know it is not the 17 but they are taking pre orders for the 22 hornet. Say they are expected soon.
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
Eh. I dunno maybe it'll be in the 'new for 2013' section of the 2013 catalog.

Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
The funds have been set aside, now just to decide if i want the thumbhole stock.....or the synth stock....hmmmm I can't wait for this rifle!
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
Talked to Savage again last week and she said that they were having some kind of problem and the guns did not meet there specs. She did not know when they would ship. "That was not what I wanted to hear. Mark
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
:-\ Oh...not good news. Hmmmm.....I guess that's why that little voice in the back of my head told me to hang onto my Stevens that I now have chambered in .17 Fireball. My "Plan" was to get the new Hornet in the Model 25 as it would b e a bit lighter to handle, then just re-barrel the Stevens with the 22-250 barrel that I picked up "along the way." Grrrrrr.......

Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
Me too Dave, was considering selling the CZ switch barrel. I can have Devin spin out a 17 fireball a lot easier and cheaper than a new, "not soon to come" model 25. Can't get up with Devin however!

Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market? Got tired of waiting.
Got tired of waiting so, I sent a 17 HMR contender carbine barrel off to be rechambered in 17 hornet ! It done and on the brown truck heading home !!
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
I don't have any idea what is holding the Mod. 25 from being built, they are still advertising in the gun rags, but haven't seen any caliber for sale that isn't older manufacture. I saw somewhere that someone is taking orders for 22 hornet, to be in soon! Looks like savage could give some of the people on this site information on what is holding them up, seems some on this board are in the know about Savage Arms. items before they are listed for sale.

I would think the hornet would need a different twist for the faster bullet than that of a 17 HMR.

Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
I asked a couple of the different Savage Reps at the NRA annual meeting earlier this month and I was told the 22 Hornet and 17 Hornet will be out by the end of June. I was told that the hold up on all the Walking Varminter models was the stock. Apparently all the original ones had a defect due to the mold that was used and they had to remake their entire inventory of Synthetic model 25 stocks.

Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
I'm generally not that impatient.....but I do recall when the 45-GAP was initially released, it was all talked up in all the gun rags.....but it took over a year and a half before any gun maker actually release their production model's for the public to buy. I was waiting and stalling to buy a 1911 in the GAP.....but eventually just gave up and bot a very nice 1911 in 45-acp.
I was at the range a few weeks ago and a club member was there shooting his Ruger Model 7201 in 22-Hornet. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...22HOR+WAL+7201 What a nice rifle....and a tac-driver as well.
Much more dilly-dally with this 17-hornet will cause me to send back all of my 17-hornet "stuff" to Midway in exchange for 22-hornet "stuff".
And I'll just be know as "impatient Dave" >:(

Atleast they are catching it before they release them. Now if they can just catch it a little earlier impatient Dave would be lessthanimpatient Dave.
Honestly though I am genuinely happy to hear they found something wrong. It beats putting the product in the customers hands and then having to fix that. (rather be slow and right than fast, wrong, and with a poor reputation)

Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
I have seen that rumor before but that does not explain the hold-up on the wood stock models. ??? :-\ Mark

Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
I remember putting money down on a Bren Ten. Got

On facebook, (rumor) it has accuracy issues. Maybe savage and hornady needs to get together and find the right charge for it. I do want to get my hands on one one they come out. Are any of the 22 hornets from savage released yet? I couldn't find any info on them.
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
apparently you can buy the Savage 22 Hornet. Here's one on Gun Broker. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=286194839
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
No you can't. They are taking pre-orders have been listed for about 3-4 weeks and always OUT OF STOCK.
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
Any more info on 17 hornet release date
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
it should be out by 2014. I stoped waiting a got a Ruger 22-250.
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
CZ hints the same "new for 2012" in 527 model. But haven't seen them from factory, or there is a custom available on gunsamerica.
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
Per Savage: A mag fitment problem in all models. Call in about a month for more info. :( :( Mark
-
Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
Well....someone inquired about buying my .17 Fireball barrel that's currently wrenched onto my Stevens frame. I'm glad I didn't sell it to him. (actually, I have the PM saved and I told him I'd gladly sell him the barrel as soon as I had the new Hornet in my grubby little paws.) Something tells me it's gonna be a 2013 issue. ::)

Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?

Re: When is Savage bringing the 25 in 17 hornet to market?
I just talked to Savage and the salesperson said an email was issued yesterday that 200 17 hornets will be shipping this week to various distributors.

Are you using Obama's state count or the number of stars on our flag?

Anyone get one of the 200 rumored to be shipped last week?

Talked to Savage yesterday and she said: The 22's are going out now but check next month on the 17's. Oh Well! Mark
-
Send your CZ to sinman and he'll put you a switch barrel with smooth barrel nut on your .221fb or .22 hornet. Mine works, it was another test project for Devin.
-
Come on savage. I am still waiting here for the 17. Also I would like to know is it possible for us to get the 3600fps out of reloads or are we being chained by hornady to buy their ammo? If so,then I would think the remmys would be the better choice to just download their 17. Just rantin a bit. Dan
-
caii Hornaday they will give you the load info.
-
Yeah....I have load data from Hornady. I have bullets. I have brass and I have powder. I even have the dies and I have had 'em for 2 months or more. I just wish Savage or CZ or someone would release a bolt action rifle in .17 Hornet. Sometime.....before I die...in the near future.....like they said they would......weeping, weeping........sniff, sniff.
-
I talked to Savage yesterday and was told that they have started shipping the 17HH to wholesalers!!!!! I hope it is true. Mark
-
They shipped one yesterday.......one will go out next week......then another by November.........Oh man...it's killin me.......
-
I have read that Cabelas was going to get the first orders shipped to their stores before all others. True or not, but I don't have a Cabellas within 4 hr drive of me. Dan
-
Cabelas headquarters told me that they ordered the Walking Varmiter but did not order any others. The Mitchel SD. store still does not have any, but one can always hope. Mark
-
I just got off the phone with the Wheeling WV store and they are waiting just like everyone else.
-
I saw a post on my Facebook wall this morning from Savage stating that they are now shipping the .17 Hornet in "great numbers". They should be available for those that want one.
GunBlast review on the rifle and cartridge.
http://gunblast.com/Savage-25WV.htm
-
Yeah......I'll believe that when the gun is available in mass quantities on Buds. I've been waiting for this gun since January in hopes of having a load developed for fox season. Well.....it's almost fox season and at this point, I'm not getting prepped for Pa. bow season. If they do ship 'em now, even though I have dies and brass (which I'm sure are in the back of my shelf all dusty at this point) I think I'm just going to wait and see how the actual reviews go and maybe pick one up in the spring. I'll just stick with my 17 Fireball for another year.
-
You'd have to call Buds. I doubt it'll be on their website yet. Savage's Facebook post was just this morning. They didn't say they will be shipping, they said they ARE shipping. If you want one how bout you buy one and then YOU can review it. If you are willing to let everyone else buy them and review them then you can't be in much of a hurry. ;-)

Yeah.....What...with my new .17 Hornet dies, and my new .17 Hornet Brass...Oh...and I forgot to include in the pic my two boxes of Hornady .17 Hornet factory ammo....what was my hurry in wanting to get a rifle before hunting season began? You know....develop a load....get the right scope....get a proper fitting night light attached to the rifle, and do all of this plus handle my daily living "things." What was I thinking????
-
I'm just posting that they are available. If you don't want one then move on. I'm not trying to manage your daily life.
