How accurate is the NEF Sportster™ 17 HMR with the 22" heavy barrel. Please post pictures. Is it MOA. Thanks.

I can't post pics,and it has been some time since I sighted in my .17 HMR bull barrel sportster.
  Since I am a hunter reather than a paper puncher, I can only give you this synopsis..
   I just got two more groundhogs a couple hours ago...I reached out and headshot them from appx125 & 150 yds each.
  I wouldn't even have tried that with my .22 mags..either the sportster or my Anschutz.
   Of course, I was using a "field expediency" rifle rest..a tree and a fence post.
 I can tell you this..the NEF .17HMR bull barrel is more accurate than I am, and I have been hunting 'chucks with varying levels of eagerness for about 57 years now..

Welcome aboard, SW!! :D  What ironglow said!! Mine will shoot 5 inside an inch at 100yds easily, don't have a pic of the 17hmr, but here's my 17M2, looks just like it and shoots just as well with cheaper ammo!

SW, My 17HMR. sportster it also has the simmons white tail classic scope mounted on it and I love the rifle and the scope, What a combination . This combo. will do five inside also at one hundred yards and varmits do not have a chance if inside 200 yds. My son has the same rifle and scope in 17M2 and it is a winner too.
