.17 wsm again

[Boone68]

I got a .17 wsm and ive tried everything i could think of without changing the stock and the best that gun has done for me is a 1.25 inch group at 100 yds. Out of a lead sled best shooting i could personally do. Just wondering what everybody thinks about that

1.25 at 100 is not too bad for ammunition that you have absolutely no control of the quality.

"Not too bad" is exactly what i thought. Also means not that impressed either

From what I have seen if you have the first version sporter barrel and plastic stock. I think a lot of it has to do with the stock. My MKII FVSR with the plastic stock shot ok but when I got a boyds tacticool for it, it tightened up the groups considerably. well worth the 100$.

Hi
the Boyd's Stocks from what I have Read Give Improvement in Accucery.

Thanks for the help. Its a heavy barrel and im thinkin a Boyds stock is a good idea. That stock that comes on it is junk..Just have to get the money out.

If you have not tried American Eagle or Hornady cartridge you may get a little better groups out of it.
I have tried the AE cartridge and it out preformed the Winchester brand considerable. Have not found the Hornady locally
but may order some just to try it out.

This was at 193 yards with my BMAG in a boyds pro varmint stock with Winchester 20 gr. ammo. from a bipod while shooting prone back in march or so.[IMG][/IMG]
