Thread: 22 lr vs 22 mag vs 17HMR

CZ in 17wsm... gotta be good...

Yep the std barrel version in particular are very variable, the one I got is ok but would probably benefit from the stock bring stiffened or upgraded to a Boyds. I was hoping to shoot the new heavy barrel one today but plans fell over. Same crappy stock but don't believe it will matter. Have a boyds stock on the way, it'll be nice then ����. Agree a cz or any other decent brand should be great once available. I'll pm you once I've had a go with the new one and give you a verdict on the heavier barrel and faster twist.
