A17 first trip to the range.
Hey Guys,
I'm new to the forum but certainly not to the shooting sports.
I have been waiting on delivery of the A17 ever since reading about it and placing the order. Took delivery a couple days ago and mounted the only scope I had laying around unused which was a Weaver 3x9. My dealer did not have any of the new A17 HMR ammo so I loaded up the range box with standard Hornady 17 grain.
I shot the first 100 rounds at 50 yards and had NO feeding problems so I will not be buying any more expensive A17 HMR as I have plenty of the regular stuff. The little rifle is very capable of half inch or better groups at 50 yards. Can't wait for the rain to let up so I can burn a few rounds at 100. I'm not crazy about the plastic stock but in no way does it hurt the accuracy.
Cleaning the A17 is a pure joy, got to be the easiest semi-auto I have ever cleaned.
Overall I am VERY happy with the A17, VERY fun little rifle to shoot.
