My .17 HMR is the only SA I currently own and I love it!

We shoot the 17 HMR a lot in our CZ rifles, but have often wondered about the HMR in a Single Six. Thanks for the info.

As seen, I added the fiber optic sights (Older Eyes) and it improved things a good bit!

Get your hands on one NCG, they are fun!

My CZ 452 American is what introduced me to the .17 HMR. I missed out on the S&W 647 when it was in production and regretted it. The Wife spotted this Single Six sitting forlornly on a shelf all by itself and just knew it needed a good home, so she called me about it and it was adopted that afternoon.

Every time we take it to the range everybody nearby has to come take a look. I really should get some better looking grips for it.

I love mine, it shoots great. I also have the Taurus 17 tracker. Both are great guns and fun to shoot.

I have a .17HMR Ruger American Rimfire and love it. Looking forward to hopefully getting a handgun.

I must acquire one. Yes I must...

I have a blued one on layaway , I really wanted the stainless model but the opportunity to layaway the .17 Single Six in blue came up, so I went for it

I wanted it pretty much as a range toy, just something different. Shooting micro sized bullets at high velocity seems fun

I imagine they take care of woodchuck sized pests pretty handily. How are they for noise level compared to a 22 LR and 22 Mag. As memory serves it's a 22 mag RF necked down to 17 caliber so I would expect it would be louder than a 22 RF and about the same as a 22 mag.

My 17 HMR is a Savage 93R17FV. Excellent shooter.

I would love to have one of the Rugers SA 17 HMR .

It is a necked-down .22 mag and similar to sounding like a .22mag, but a bit more of a sharper crack! Some difference between the 20gr FMJ and the 16gr CCI TNT Green...I always wear ear protection, so this is only my experiences, but them bullets is quick!

The stainless .17HMR is on my wish list, but pricey...for $20 more I can buy the stainless Blackhawk in .45LC!

And the search begins... again.

And the search begins... again.

The best deal I found on a used one, the guy wanted $375 and it looked shot hard and put up wet! I opted for NIB at just under $500 OTD and never looked back...worth every penny to me! Good luck in your search.

My N.E.F. Sportster .17HMR shoots consistent .75" groups (in no-wind conditions)@100yds with that Hornady 17gr V-Max ammo. When the breeze is blowing, I use similar hold-offs as I'm used to using with my .223 Rem shooting @ 300yds. I just never considered the .17HMR as a handgun round. I'm sure it's great fun, and the ammo is more easily available than .22magnum. But I have the 9.5" NMSSS (shown in my avatar) that I keep the .22mag cylinder in for use on small to medium critters out to 50yds. If I can see it, I can hit it with Winchester Super-X JHP's. But since I can't find that load anywhere.....maybe I do need a new single action in 17HMR.

 

[alayonruger]

I have only one and it's a Savage 9317. Would have added a handgun if 22LR ammo availability did not improve.

I've been shooting the 77/17 since '04 it's one of my favorite guns ever. But just yesterday a .17HMR Single Six followed me home from the gun show. Those tiny little holes in the front of the cylinder sure look funny with all that steel surrounding them. It's a NIB 5 1/2" stainless model 10663 mfg in '10. I'm told it might be a dealer exclusive?

That's a Lipsey's Exclusive you have! Nice find!

 

[Owly]

Oh man I had a cool one and I miss it. It was the only Taurus I ever owned (and probably ever will) but boy was it ever accurate. 7 rd cylinder so I fired 7 rd groups. Could cover those groups with a dime at 25 yds and a nickle at 50 when shooting from that rest.
