17 HRM , 17 HM2 barrels
« on: August 29, 2004, 03:29:30 AM »
would it be possible to convert one of the new 17 HRM or HM2  barrels to a 17 cal  centerfire?
I am thinking about saving up to get one in 17 HM2, but I am not convinced that they will not go the way of the 5 MM remington.  I don't want to be stuck with a barrel that will  winding up just be taking up space in my T/C case.

Just takes a simple rechamber job to go to a longer 17 whatever.

HMR barrel

It's a 23" barrel. Came on my G2 contender frame I just bought. Mounted a 6-18 scope on it yesterday and shot it. I will have to say that the HMR barrels are very accurate. I have wanted a ackley hornet barrel for a while though. after shooting it now I'm not sure what I want to do. dave

My 16.25" bull barrel .17 HMR will hold under an inch with a 9x scope and Hornady ammo.

I'm very pleased with it.

If the ammo goes obsolete, I'll have it rechambered, probably to a .17 Ackley Hornet.
