    .17 HMR semi

    Saw this on trademe. Looks like quite a neat system, not quite a bullpup, but that's very compact looking for an 18" barrel. Wasn't sure if anyone apart from Savage had sorted a .17 semi yet

    I know that rife and the seller.
    Have been on a lot of trips where it has shot a lot of rabbits.
    I liked it so much that I have since bought one myself and another on .22mag.

    Being blowback they are not perfect, over the years the action has opened to fast at least twice-if you bought it ask the seller what ammo he is using as I believe he has had no issues with that ammo.

    A bit of a sod to clean if your used to a bolt gun or a ar, and you do need to keep them clean and 17hmr coppers up a little.

    I would be very very surprised if you didn't like it.
