17 Hornet
« on: January 29, 2013, 07:49:42 AM »
Think we will ever see a 17 Hornet Handi Rifle? Is there a way to modify an existing 17 rimfire barrel? I could probably have a 22 Hornet barrel relined, but the cost might be too high to warrant it. Any ideas on an easy route to this cartridge? TD

you rechamber the barrel from a 17hmr sportster to make one. I was going to build one out of my sportster but decided to sell it and get a bolt action in hmr.

I just bought a Savage bolt .17 Hornet.  I put the Nikon Coyote scope for the .223 on it and it works well.

Mine is a 1965 manufacture handi. Was thinking about getting another barrel for it and having a gunsmith reline it and fit it to my existing rifle, but have no idea about price. TD
