Anyone shooting a 17wsm?

I really like the idea of this round and am thinking of picking one up. Anyone shooting one? Do you like it? What rifle are you using? I put my hands on a Savage Bmag and hated it. The only other rifle I have found chambered in 17wsm is the Ruger 77/17. I really just want a rifle that is cheap to shoot small varmints and plink out to 300yards with and I don't need to reload for it.

Not many options out there.
Doesn't appear to be the demand needed to increase sales.
Buy a heavy barrel bmag, modify a stock to fit.
Makes for a decent varminting rifle.

I would love to see Vudoo gun works make a 17WSM,I would be a buyer.

I hope it takes off. It seems like a sweet round. I too would be all over a Vudoo action for 17wsm

I actually asked them. They said not at this time as there are other pending projects ahead of something like that. Volquartson makes one. I want a little fast 17 as I have a place to shoot prairie dogs and other assorted varmints, there are dead tractor parts, rocks, concrete... In one of the areas at least a fast 17 pretty much evaporates when it hits something hard.

I have a heavy barrel BMAG with the Boyd’s laminated thumb hole stock. It loves the American Eagle ammo and is devistating on small furry thinks?
