    Sometimes I think people make to much of this barrel rubbing thing; I have Tikka Forest that has the barrel a lot closer to one side of the stock forearm. I'll check it it's actually touching the forearm.

    Well, since you don't want to say how it shoots so we might be able to discern if it's actually causing a problem or not, the best advice I can give you would be to tell you to contact Remington about it.

    Was a Savage fan and had the 93R 17 HMR. Got tired of the (turd) magazine problems. Will be getting the new Ruger 17 HMR with the rotary mag, wood stock and threaded barrel. I am sure it will shoot as well and as accurate as the Savage.

    Ok... Update with 400 of rounds in. The performance is weird. It does not seem to like the VMAX ammo from pretty much any manufacturer, including the A17 kind. It's better with TNT kind of ammo, like Federal premium 17 hmr TNT. With that one I got 3 groups of 5 shots each under, or slightly above 1" at 100 yards. More typical around 1.3... With any vmax, 5 shots groups at 100 yards are between 1.5-1.7". As a matter of fact, my old 93r17 shoots 1.3-1.4" 5 shot groups at 100 yards with any vmax. It does tend to group 4 shots pretty well, then a flyer messes up the group.

    I took down the removable plastic "lid" sitting on top of the forearm and under the barrel. It's removable, does't provide much structural strength anyway, and rubs the barrel big time. I'll be testing more. Feel free to suggest anything :)

    lavv, any updates?

    I'll make another comment here because for some reason I still cannot get on rimfire, mod, feel free to move it wherever... I noticed some people have been looking for sub-sonic ammo for the 22 wmr for quieter shots . CCI has now come out with a 22mag at 1065 ft/sec. as a sub-sonic round. IMO that is not really sub-sonic; it is so close to the speed of sound you will still get the distinctive "crack" when you shoot it. The CCI 22 LR so-called sub-sonic at 1050 ft/sec has a distinctive "crack" and is very, very close to the same noise level as a 22LR at 1240 ft/sec. I haven't been able to get my hands on the CCI 22 LR rated at 970 ft/sec. to find out how much noise it makes.
