17 Javelina

[ab_bentley]

I give to you the new 17 Javelina:

It wears a:
XR100 action (trued and timed)
26" Lilja Barrel #4 contour 1-9" twist.
High Tech Stock Model 7 Classic
Jewell Trigger @ 8oz
Burris Signature Rings
Weaver Mounts
Leupold 4.5-14x40LR Plex Reticle
PTG Reamer .201" neck 0 Freebore

I fitted the stock and did the paint job, courtesy via onion bag and Krylon. It's pillar bedded and Devcon's like a glove. It's main diet is going to be something!?!?!?! I have 14gr,17gr,20gr,22gr,25gr, and 27gr bullets, lots of each so I have no idea yet. I figure I'll start low and go up in weights. Be neat to see some 14gr solids at 4800fps +. Anyway, I hope it shoots. Only one way to find out . Brass is coming from weighted LC 09' cases and won't need to much fireforming as they come out with very nice 30* shoulders and about .006" crush fit. Necks get turned to .198" loaded rounds. I did have to nip the ejector as it was beating the crap out of the necks, now they just fall right into the feed tray ( where I want them ). Anyway as I get it up and running I'll post pics.

I've got a 17 Javelina on a Sako Vixen, built in the 60's by Marquart...still shoots small groups to this day. It is the ideal sized case for the 17.
Have fun with it

Looks well built and very impressive. Guess you'll get better at using it in a short time.
