.17 Mach 2

Gentlemen: I'm interested in a rifle in this round, now that the ammo supply is starting to catch up to demand.
Who is building a rifle in this chambered for it?
Even Rumors are welcome :lol:.   :D Duce:
What ever you'll put up with, is exactly what you'll get!!!!!

NEF Sportsters are available as is the Marlin 917M2, although neither are common yet. Cooper is taking orders for them. All major arms makers have plans for it, CZ will have a bolt rifle available later this fall. Lots more at RFC....

I bought a Kimber Clasic Varmint in 17 Mach 2.  Very happy with the gun & round.  Maybe the ultimate tree squirrell round.  Accuracy& trajectory are better than 22lr & report is not that much, if any louder.  Damage to game seems to be much less than 17 HMR.  I am paying $5.99 a box for CCI & Hornady ammo.  Several more brands of guns are on thier way.

SHW, when did you order your Kimber classic varmint in 17HM2? I have had one ordered since june and haven't seen it yet. Maybe they are starting to get some out. Jim

I got on the phone, & found this one 2 hours away from home.  I called Kimber & they stated that several had been shipped to dealers.  These were they only ones I found within a couple hours drive of home.  Hope you get it soon, i am sure you will enjoy it.
