Got my new 17HMR
« on: February 23, 2008, 02:53:42 PM »
Picked it up yesterday and mounted the new Bumble Bee stocks and the BSA Sweet 17 scope today. Hope to shoot it some before I send it off to get the bbl fluted. Kurt

Here's one I'm gonna send the bbl out and get it fluted then match the yellow in the flutting. I put a BSA 2-7x32 Sweet 17  scope on it from Nachez refurbished $39.99 I can't find anything wrong with it will have to wait til I can shoot to see how it compensates.Also has medium rings after doing Fred's hammer bob job.Kurt

Very nice looking.  I have yet to put my stocks on my Hornet, maybe this weekend.  I need to get some rings ordered so I can mount some scopes.  It has just been busy here at work.

Yea I really wanted to put a set on a Hornet but when I finally found the stocks . The Hornet I found was a old model 157 and has full Mannlicer stock so it's gettin the brass hardware. Kurt
