.17hmr got a bad name with Semi-autos because dumbasses think every semi should be fired as fast as possible. The .17hmr presented problems in semi's that had not taken this into account. I've put thousands of rounds through my Remington 597 (.17 hmr) and my Magnum Research semi. Flawless action, but I don't shoot like Rambo.
caution: theres a warning in many sites including hornady and excel arms clearly states that you should not use .17 hmr in semi autos...theck the sites plz.
Man, for .17hmr I would only want a bolt action :) The cartridge looks so pretty I wouldn't want to waste it. Sure, 17hmr is more expensive, but it is quality and much less than say .30-06. Now, we know .30-06 is worth it though, it has range.
Do not kill a little white rabbit with MACHINE GUN!
Need no 30-06! Do you have money to buy ammo to shoot 30-06 NOW!
Cheap: buy Euroean guns (better rounds and quality than Amercicam made) 8mm or 7.62.54R...Big round and rifle around $150 to $200 Mauser or Moisin Nagant...Surely kill elephants or Lions with Cheap Ammo and riffle but (not bad quality)
I don't understand what kind of feeding issues it would have. Those little .17 HMRs are bottle-necked so they tend to do fine - or at least they do alright in my Savage bolt-action.
They dont make one anymore. Cause someone said there was a problem with loading 17 hmr rounds. But I havent had a single problem other then if you dont load the rounds right in the mag they wont feed into the gun at all.
I was thinking of buying one in the 22 mag. I heard they have feed issues . How has yours held up? Any problems? I sure would like to see more video and the accuracy of this wepon. Thanks for your video. you are about the only info on the web about this wepon. Thanks.
I havent had any real problems with the feeding just when the rounds are loaded in the mag wrong. As soon as the weather gets better I am going shooting again and I will get more on for you.
Where did you get your weapons training cause if you were charged for it you got ripped off.
A clip does NOT have a spring, a magazine does. The clip simply holds the rounds to be loaded into a magazine, either built in or detachable magazines.
Like stripper clips for an SKS.
As for spring failure, its not the amount of compression on a spring that will wear it out, it is the full compressing and expanding that reduces the tension of a spring.
I want that weapon!!!

You might be able to get one at a gunshow. I say it works very well. The only problem it has is if you load the rounds in the mag wrong.

Sweet. I was looking at on and it felt really good and stable. I liked the idea u don't have to come out of the scope to chamber another round.

Thats wise seeing how your suppose to load less then max, so you don't wear out your clip spring.. Always the first thing to fail.
