Thread: .17HMR Varmint Rifle

I'm a fan of the Savages, accurate and nice to shoot. As others have said you don't really need a heavy barrel for a rimfire, but nothing wrong with them if you like the feel and don't mind a bit of extra weight - they still aren't that heavy overall and balance well.

CZ's are nice rifles, usually better finished and pretty good accuracy too but as standard the triggers aren't in the same league so I'd factor a trigger upgrade into the extra cost over a Savage as well.

Matre just got a Zastava which seems good too and shoots well.
