interesting video, very informative and appreciated. i have just ordered my new marlin 17 hmr rifle today and want to thank you for convincing me to go this way. thanks and regards from Ireland.
I wish they made a left handed stock that fits the right hand platform. I am a lefty but I have always shot a right handed rifle! I have tried left handed rifles and do not care for them.
@Jackarunda they make a left handed one now, but you might have to order it, i bought a right handed one, as i am right handed and there was a left handed one there as well
Dude you look like a cat eating thumb tacks when you talk. I think i'll stick to 22lr for varment and 223 for slightly larger game. I am a big fan of .308 win and .338 Lapua
Velocity -> is the key I think, Shot a coke can @ 25 yards with a 22 cal L/R 40gr. H/S H/P, hit dead center it bent the can in half, the water squirted up 4/5 foot from the tab opening, it landed 4 ft behind the stump it was sitting on. Repeated this with a 17 cal. Mach 2. The can took off like a punted foot ball, landed 12 ft behind the stump, the can opened up like a catchers mitt, its12 ounces of water now huge in the air like a curtain diffracting the sun light into rainbows.
I'm absolutely amazed that the deck of playing cards did not even fall over never mind not being kicked off into the distance after being run though with a 17 caliber bullet. I would think its because the bullet is traveling @ such a hi rate of speed, btw that bullet left a 45/50 caliber hole in its wake! Would really like to see this bullet from that rifle @ 100 yds fired into ballistic gelatin! Great Video Jim. Tnx's!
one time when I was hunting with my 17 I put an empty soda can on a log about 100 yards away and I shot at it three times and it didnt move but when I looked at the can there was three bullet holes dead center in the can
Hello MrJumBow, thanks for making the video. I'm interested in getting a .17 hmr and am also a lefty. Was looking at a Henry Acu-bolt. But now I buy a 93r17 btvlss. The Savage folks should send you a few bucks for selling their rifles. LOL
I love my .17! I love how i can shoot dimes and pennies and beer bottle caps at 200yrds. I luv my sub minute of angle. I love my Sweet .17 scope. I love the no recoil. I love how quiet and far away it sounds. I love how cheap the ammo is and I love how fast and flat and accurate it flies. Who cares how big the game is when you can make head shots all day long from far away with a small caliber.
Nice video and rifle. I've noticed most .17hmr have very thick barrels compared to other rifles. Are they all like that and does it bother you at all?
@pdizz128 The thick barrel is a good thing. It is a heavy bull barrel that decreases heat retention and expansion, it allows for the higher pressure and velocities of the .17. Any match grade or sniper grade rifle would have the same.
can someone tell me how much a decent box of shells are for this rifle? im considering buying one of these and i want something thats cheaper to shoot than a .22 magnum, but more powerful than a .22 long rifle.
@mmmmmnnnnn55555 you know that sounds really good, gonna have to try it , the .17HMR is a tack driver, love mine ,got the Savage with the accutrigger, mounted a BSA sweet .17 on it , harris bipod , I LOVE IT , too bad the ammo is not as cheap as .22
I just put in an order for a Savage 17HMR TR, and I can't wait to shoot it. Quick question did do a barrel break in w/ this rifle, or did you just take it out and have some fun?
Just bought the synthetic stock version with blued barrel. have you noticed any difference in the 17g vs the 20g in longer range shooting (100y+)? Im thinkin the 20g might be a LITTLE bit less resistant to the wind problems the 17 has. correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi like the vid! That is my preferred choice of ammo as well for my savage... however it got rare around here for a bit so I've had to basically buy whatever was available locally. I have hornady 20 gr, federal v-shok 17 gr, and now winchester super X 20 gr. I love the 17 hmr. I saved a dozen rounds of the CCI from the original few hundred I got when I bought my gun... Shooting one inch at hundred yard with the 17hmr and a savage rifle is almost effortless! Great combo,Shoot safe & shoot often!
Thanks for the video review,, I bought this very rifle yesterday only right handed, Bought the Harris bipod and Nikon scope for it too... I hope to post a video response soon...
...couldn't fit in previous comment, but the scope I mounted on my Savage 17 HMR is a Nikon Buckmasters 3-9x40mm. So the Leupold Rifleman "high" rings will accommodate a 40mm lens with lens caps...if you get something smaller or larger than 40mm then you'd have to match your rings to that specific scope. Other options...Nikon makes a 4x32mm (fixed power) rimfire scope for $110 and Leupold has 3 rimfire models all the way up to their $400 VX-II 3-9x33mm EFR rimfire model.
FYI...anyone buying one of these Savage rimfire guns (or other rimfire rifles) needs to be aware that the barrel is straight (no bump at the the bolt) As a result you'll need to use higher scope rings to allow for the front bell of your scope (and any lens cap) to clear the barrel. I used weaver-style Leupold Rifleman matte black "high" rings (model# 55870). The medium rings allow for the scope to clear the bull barrel, but there's no room left for a lens cap...so get the high rings.
@MrJumBow Thanks for your service and these videos. These were very helpful in narrowing down the options for a good groundhog/target gun. Do you remember the specific Harris bipod you have? I watch Predator Quest and like the one he uses to hunt coyotes...I think his is a 25C bipod. Basically, I need something that I can use for kneeling or sitting out in a field to bust some groundhogs & targets. I'm a southpaw too, but bought the less expensive blue steel bull barrel model 93R17 GLV.
I'm thinking of getting a .17 hmr from cabela's catalog by savage arms. It'll be my first rifle, I live in a somewhat dangerous city, And I'd like to take some comfort in knowing I can protect my mother and sister if I have too, It's not going to rot in my cabinet, I plan on shooting for fun. The price is right. Do you have any suggestions at all? I feel a bit overwhelmed with the sheer variety.
A well done video MrJumBow. Much, much better than most of the amateur gun test or gun review videos on YouTube. Enjoyed it. BTW,....been to Livingston, MT. Loved it! Best to you.
:P The reverse video was great. You make shooting fun. Beautiful .17hmr rifle ya got there, love the ss bull barrel. I'm still pondering a .17hmr (Savage or Marlin), 12 or 20 gauge Rem 870, and Marlin 336 .30-30 --all nice rifles :)
Did the butt pad come installed on the rifle, or did you purchase and install it afterwards? (Mine'll be in between a week and a week and a half!!! :o)
@WhitetailBowmaster Sorry for the late reply. I been a slacker. The butt pad was already in place whenever this rifle came in for me. These 17s have zero recoil so a really large butt pad is not needed. Thanks for the question :)
@reptiledelight You might just have a novel idea here. I will have to dig around my house and see if I can find an old discarded cell phone. Thanks for the suggestion :)
what an amazing piece of craftsmanship, your rifle. In the vid, you can almost feel the smoothness of the stock. And it doubles up as a can opener; a bad one, however, I suppose, in the case of soda cans, and if you still want to drink the content ...
@rubadux No I am just afraid that the only chore that this rifle does well is to spit 17 grain bullets down range. Thanks for the comments, humor and review :)
@BugMoneyFishing I had all of those objects "glued down" on that box just in case they wanted to fly into my camera or tripod. Thanks for the review and comments :)
@BugMoneyFishing Actually, ALL of those objects were glued down to that cardboard box. My digital camera and tripod were placed very close to that entire target area. Just a precautionary measure :)
@Attrezz0 Well I managed to plug up my microphone hole by blasting that pepsi can (lol) I had better stop making these kind of videos before I really destroy that camera. Thanks for the review :)
@BuschTukkerMan I have a basic movie editor aboard my Mac computer called iMovie. I am just too cheap to buy better programing. Thanks for the review and compliments :)
Great video, thanks for making it. I started watching your videos after doing a search on recipes for fresh trout. You've hooked me ever since. Always informative and entertaining.
@blitzit222 Thanks for the compliments. I try to create videos with some kind of purpose or meaning. Admittedly some are better than others. I appreciate the reviews :)
@Whitevoice14 Please, I would appreciate it if you did not post racist statements. This rifle was made for varmint and target shooting mostly. Most folks with any sanity usually stay away from Montana due to our cold weather (lol)
@MrJumBow Whatever dude, but you will have plenty of " varmints" soon! I seen the scumbags spread and destroy my town, guess your in a sheltered all White or 98% White area, keep it that way or peace will be no more, later!
@Whitevoice14 To be very honest, yes it is true that mostly white folks live here in Montana. None-the-less, the Cops here have a tendency to be very mean. I guess with larger populated states, problems with the various ethnic groups are bound to happen :)
@FabiTheCrazyTerroR19 I have worked out with the .17 HMR quite frequently. I have owned 4 different rifles in this particular caliber. Thanks for the review and comments :)
@LittlPussi All of those target objects (meaning the deck of cards, the apple and the Pepsi) had been "Gorilla Glued" down to that card board box. I wanted to minimize object movement as much as possible so that "stuff" would not go flying into my camera or tripod. Thanks for the comments and review :)
@MrJumBow Aah, that explains it. The other two objects have a much higher water-content so practically exploded and the cards are stiff, so hardly move. I get it now, thanks.
WOW. Great camera work JumBow. Didn't know that little .17 could do so much damage! Also, for some reason never noticed before that you were a left hand compadre! :)) Keep up the great work, America needs you.
@Hectus22 The .17 HMR, basically speaking, is a .22 rimfire magnum that has been necked down to 17 caliber. No doubt, it is pretty wicked. It makes for a real good varmint rifle out to ranges of about 200 yards. Yes, I am south paw with a rifle but do every thing else right handed. Weird, huh..?? (lol)
this guy seems like a retired marine or something seems like he knows his guns and ammunition i found him threw his fishing videos didnt know he was a sport shooter too
@lakaiguy17 No I am just an old Army guy. Did one tour in Vietnam and that was about it for me. I got out of the Armed Services way back in 1973. Thanks for the comments and review :)
@BENLINUZ Yes I can understand this. I have a son-in-law that owns a Remington 597 semi auto loader .17 HMR that cannot shoot CCI ammo neither. This is why I prompt folks to try different branded names of .17 HMR ammo and bullet weights. Thanks for the comments :)
@groutaone The outside light was in my favor on the day of the tests. So was the wind. Too much of either and this stunt would not have been possible. Thanks for the review and comments :)
@spearmintmonkey You are 100% correct. The camera got covered with soda pop however I did remember to bring along some rubbing alcohol and a rag for cleanup purposes. Thanks for the review :)
where did u find that? I've got a buddy thats been looking for a left hand thumb hole forever.

@WhitetailBowmaster its only a .17 rimfire... you shouldn't need a recoil pad... not even the most recoil sensitive should feel it

@reptiledelight You might just have a novel idea here. I will have to dig around my house and see if I can find an old discarded cell phone. Thanks for the suggestion :)

what an amazing piece of craftsmanship, your rifle. In the vid, you can almost feel the smoothness of the stock. And it doubles up as a can opener; a bad one, however, I suppose, in the case of soda cans, and if you still want to drink the content ...

@rubadux No I am just afraid that the only chore that this rifle does well is to spit 17 grain bullets down range. Thanks for the comments, humor and review :)

@BugMoneyFishing I had all of those objects "glued down" on that box just in case they wanted to fly into my camera or tripod. Thanks for the review and comments :)
MrJumBow 1 year ago
@MrJumBow yeah that makes sense
BugMoneyFishing 1 year ago
@BugMoneyFishing Actually, ALL of those objects were glued down to that cardboard box. My digital camera and tripod were placed very close to that entire target area. Just a precautionary measure :)

@Attrezz0 Well I managed to plug up my microphone hole by blasting that pepsi can (lol) I had better stop making these kind of videos before I really destroy that camera. Thanks for the review :)

@Whitevoice14 Please, I would appreciate it if you did not post racist statements. This rifle was made for varmint and target shooting mostly. Most folks with any sanity usually stay away from Montana due to our cold weather (lol)
MrJumBow 1 year ago
@MrJumBow Whatever dude, but you will have plenty of " varmints" soon! I seen the scumbags spread and destroy my town, guess your in a sheltered all White or 98% White area, keep it that way or peace will be no more, later!
Whitevoice14 1 year ago
@Whitevoice14 To be very honest, yes it is true that mostly white folks live here in Montana. None-the-less, the Cops here have a tendency to be very mean. I guess with larger populated states, problems with the various ethnic groups are bound to happen :)

The poor deck of cards didn't even fall over, never saw it coming. That surprised me. Thanks for the upload, very interesting as always.
LittlPussi 1 year ago
@LittlPussi All of those target objects (meaning the deck of cards, the apple and the Pepsi) had been "Gorilla Glued" down to that card board box. I wanted to minimize object movement as much as possible so that "stuff" would not go flying into my camera or tripod. Thanks for the comments and review :)
MrJumBow 1 year ago
@MrJumBow Aah, that explains it. The other two objects have a much higher water-content so practically exploded and the cards are stiff, so hardly move. I get it now, thanks.
LittlPussi 1 year ago
WOW. Great camera work JumBow. Didn't know that little .17 could do so much damage! Also, for some reason never noticed before that you were a left hand compadre! :)) Keep up the great work, America needs you.
Hectus22 1 year ago
@Hectus22 The .17 HMR, basically speaking, is a .22 rimfire magnum that has been necked down to 17 caliber. No doubt, it is pretty wicked. It makes for a real good varmint rifle out to ranges of about 200 yards. Yes, I am south paw with a rifle but do every thing else right handed. Weird, huh..?? (lol)

BENLINUZ 1 year ago
@BENLINUZ Yes I can understand this. I have a son-in-law that owns a Remington 597 semi auto loader .17 HMR that cannot shoot CCI ammo neither. This is why I prompt folks to try different branded names of .17 HMR ammo and bullet weights. Thanks for the comments :)
