Would it be worth it to let SSS put a Douglas barrel on my HMR 17?

Thanks for the reply, I just thing the 17 should be more accurate and was willing to change the barrel!
Any suggestions?

Try different ammo.
what is the problem?
I have tried several ammo's, I am lucky to hold a 1" group. I have a Marlin 17 which will hold 1/2" at 100 on a good day!

And there you have it.Originally Posted by Dennis
My Marlin shoots like that to. Savages look better IMO, but the marlin will just flat outshoot 'em in that caliber.

A gunsmith friend of mine says "On a Savage a good recrown job and bedding them for a tight stock to action fit turns them into tack drivers".
I think the Savage action is a good place to build on. The barrel has a standard size tenon, same as the Ruger rimfires so you can modify them. The action itself is a solid piece. Plenty of barrels to choose from.
No different than putting a $300 barrel on a 10/22, OK, a bit different as it will have to be custom fit.
Right now I am in the process of getting a GM fluted barrel installed. But the barrel has been worked over and is a proven shooter, so it is not a standard GM.
