Picked one up in the .17 and man are those guns accurate. 6 shots to get it where I wanted it and the next 14 went into basically the same hole at 125 yards.. love it so much I might just go back and pick up a .22 now..

Just picked up one in .22 LR this afternoon. It’s going to be wearing a Leupold VX2, 3X9 on it. Looking forward to trying it out. Just in time for the gophers to start showing up.

Wow, you weren’t kidding when you said they are accurate. Just shot mine for the first time. 10 shots in a ragged hole at 35 yards. First brand of ammo I tried, out of a brand new barrel.

I managed to find one with a 16 inch barrel. Cleaned it up, mounted a scope and went to the range. Saw the first hole and kept shooting. Couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t on paper anymore. The further into the mag I went I realized they were making the first hole slightly bigger. Impressed to say the least. 2x7x30 @ 25yds
50 yds around an inch. Perfect for what I’m going to use it for.

That's almost unbelievable  , don't think I've seen/heard of one holer 17's out 100 and plus. my Ruger has tough time holding 3/4" @ 100 
Are these things really the cats azz, do I need to sell a CZ or 2?

I’ve been shooting for close to 50 years, and have never had a gun as accurate as this one. They are a gem! Mine has a Leupold VX2 3X9 on it.

I put a 40mm scope on mine and had to go with medium rings. Just put burris rings on for now as that’s what I had laying around..

Very nice groups for a sporter rifle. Would not be competitive in competition but that isn't what these are bought for. Will work great for thumping gophers or barking the heads off of grouse. Can't wait till the LH ones show up.

Bought it for a gopher gun. A couple of buddies are chomping at the bit for one, but so far, they are hard to come by.

Tikka 17 HMR (50 & 100 yard groups)
https://photos.app.goo.gl/hP8QNmrCjfA77s1n6
The single 10 shot group was shot at 50 yards in the wind after initial sight in. The second two groups of 10 were shot at 100 yards (scope was adjusted between each 10 shot string) while I was waiting for my 6.5 to cool off. I have only tried one type of ammo so far, and just have a basic 3-9 Bushnell Elite mounted for now. Not going to win any awards but I would hate to be a gopher

Quit yarding his chain, you know damn well no 22 RF comes with a 17 grain bullet so it obviously has to be a 17 HMR as they don't come in 17 HH or WSMR.

Yes 17hmr. Nice smooth action. Went 37 out of 40 on gophers with test of that box of ammo.

That’s awesome. Did you know that it has the same stock as the t3? A guy could drop one in a wildcat stock.....

The recoil pad on the rim fire is different but yes, they will accept the same stocks as the T3s ... both factory and aftermarket. Going to drop mine into a Bell and Carlson.

Some mighty fine shooting young gun, hoping to sneak away for a few hours this weekend to run some 17gr V-Max through my .17...
