Well I guess it's that time of the year...I'm getting calls about this little marketing wonder....No guns really out for it, barrels are coming and some are custom made...now onto the need or desire for one of these things.
We've been getting the press releases for over 6 months on the cartridge and I still can't figure it out except it's marketing.Nominal performance compared to the .17 HMR, same bullet, in a CCI necked down stinger case.
Now certainly I can fully understand the benefits of the .17HR and the older .17 Aguila (that was cool while it lasted)....but the .17 MachII?...
What do you expect from it and whay does it appeal to you...I am very curious as to the answers you will provide.
Is it that you can buy a barrel and have a new gun? Is it that the ammo will be "cheaper" than the .17HMR? but the performance will be somewhere in between the .22 LR and .17 HMR? What are you planning to hunt or do with it?
