.17 HMR replacement...

[The Ratbasher]

After struggling with my HW60 j in .17 hmr, and the 4 shot mag's. I've reluctantly conceded defeat.
I'm now on the lookout for a replacement, but said replacement MUST have a 10 shot mag, or at least be able to buy one.
I have 3 rifles in mind, so looking for good and bad reports on the three please guys.
1, Tikka T1X.
2, Bergara BMR.
3, CZ 457.
It'll be a hunting rifle, so will probably have a shortish barrel.
Help an old fart out guys.

Spoil yourself - you know it makes sense…

Cogswell & Harrison Certus .17 HMR | Range & Country

The Cogswell & Harrison Certus .17 rifles are fantastic Czech made rifles.

Cz457 all day every day.
The stuff mine has taken and still does.
Ten round mags are readily available.

CZ457.

I have 3, and a spare barrel. And about to add a fourth.

And having two of the .17HMR 20" barrels, I would advise getting the Sporter. The Varmint doesn't really give you any advantage, but is quite a bit heavier.

 

[Smellydog]

Do not buy the heavy barrel! Waste of energy.

Another for the CZ 457, great little rifle.

You wont go wrong with either mate, shoulder them and see how they feel and take it from there.

Hard part is finding them all in the same shop. LOL Cheers bud.

 

[Twodogs]

If you like your wood have a look at the Anschutz models.

Gilsans might be worth a shot mate

I did have a 1416 in .22lr, but it had an intermittent problem with the bolt retainer, so it went in against the HW IN .22

LOL, shot, geddit ?. Aye. They're just up the road from me, so I might have a bimble up on Monday ?.

 

[wabbit warren]

i shoot a cz455 in .17hmr 16" barrel and its as good as gold the bolt action isn't as smooth as my tikka but still a very accurate usable little rifle

 

[Tikkat1x]

it would be wrong of me not to suggest the tukka t1x

Give them a bell before you go , they might have what you need but not necessarily in the one shop. But they'll do their best to accommodate if they can.
