The magazine is what sealed the deal on my 17 Hornet....it was between the CZ and Ruger....the CZ was a good deal cheaper but the lines of that rifle look terrible with the magazine setup. I'm glad I didn't listen to all the people who claimed the Ruger 17 Hornets weren't accurate....they were flat out wrong

Out of the box 5 shot 100 yard groups with factory Hornady ammo

Dixiedog, that's great accuracy for an out-of-the-box rifle and factory ammo.

It's my lucky rifle....I literally had just cleaned the barrel and mounted the scope....my boresight wouldn't fit the .172 bore so I was only able to do a quick visual boresighting down the bore to get my initial setting on my scope. That group was the first out of the rifle.

I'm doubting that will ever happen for my again
