Talk me in or out of this rifle.

Recently got my hands on some 17HMR ammo, but no rifle to shoot it out of.

The one I am looking at is stainless heavy barrel, in the pepper laminate stock. Not the fluted barrel (though the flutes do look sweet).

Seller is advertising it with the T-900 trigger group (not sure is that's stock or not).

Thanks

Thanks for all the replys.

The only con I've found is that some people dont care for the plastic trigger of the T-900 group. However, somebody makes an improved, metal trigger (company name escapes me at the moment). But the redeeming factor is that the safety selector is nicer compared to the older model 17.

This would be used only for plinking / paper shooting, as I dont hunt. The 7-rounders arent an issue for me.

The only thing that would make it nicer would be if it was a fluted model. I really like the looks of them. But the straight profile of this one makes it an option to cut and thread later if I decide to do that.

Thanks!
