When are new rifles in 17 wsm coming out??? And dumb another question?

The only thing they got right is the trigger. The Salvage Bmag needed a bit more tweaking before it was released.
Umm mine and my 2 buddies b-mag are Not hard to open before or after shot.....they are how ever hard to close.....my biggest [beeep] is the cock on close....

Why do you think that they are a shade to small in diameter? They are both .172.

Btw, if you build one, be aware that the pressures of the 17WSM is in the 33,000psi range. That is much higher than the 17HMR and some rifles chambered for the HMR may not be able to handle the pressures of the 17WSM.

There is a forum called rimfirecentral.com and those guys have tons of info on anything rimfire related. If there Re new guns coming out in 17 WSM they will be taking about it. I really like the cartridge but I'm not impressed with the b mags I've looked at
 
I don't like the B mags either. But some of you guys are expecting way too much out of a $300 gun. If you want quality, you're going to have to pay for it. The fact of the matter is, everything costs money. Material, machining costs, assembly costs, etc. People don't work for free so if the gun only costs $300, don't expect the material to be the best or the tolerances to be close.
