After several weeks of shooting the .17, I have fallen for this round. I've been regularly reaching out and touching targets at 160 yards no problem with my Marlin XT-17.
Now I find myself wanting to up grade to a CZ or Ruger 77/17.
I have heard some negatives with the Ruger, some either love it or hate it.
I have held several CZ's and though they are nice they seem more youth size than "full" size.
I was looking at the 453 American but my LGS says that none of his distributers have any.
I haven't had a chance to handle the Ruger yet.
I am also intrigued by the CZ 527 in .17 Remington but the cost of ammunition will probably make me pass on that.
Here's the XT-17 as it sits now.
