My 917VS that I bought only slightly used (less than 50 rounds), shot 1/4
and 3/8" group @ 75yds. Haven't shot paper since. She's gotten two crows
right at 165yds, one with the CCI and one with the Hornady 17gr. It's also
popped off the heads of several dozen squirrels at close to 100yds (all with
Hornady's), and over a hundred starlings with CCI's, Remington's, and
Hornady's. This has all been done with the only modification being the
sear surfaces honed and the spring being replaced with the pen spring on
the original trigger.
This rifle is an absolute "keeper"!
