That is a great group for an HMR. Might want to check the lot number on that ammo & buy all you can. My experience is I can get great to poor groups from lot to lot.

Mine only shoots an inch group at 100. Havent found anything it likes better

 

[10/22AppleCreekShooter]

Thanks guys. That was my best with this gun.

That is one nice piece of walnut on a Marlin, obviously a custom build !

Wow! I really like that stock. Nice looking rig.

 

[10/22AppleCreekShooter]

Thanks. The other side.

For the most part, my 17hmr (savage 93) will shoot inside a nickle at 100 yards....and 'sometimes' inside a dime...but sometimes inside a quarter. That is...if there's no wind. I'm shocked at it's accuracy.

 

[10/22AppleCreekShooter]

This was right at dark in hardly any wind.

 

[10/22AppleCreekShooter]

I found out when these guns were made that Marlin was using GM rifled blanks. Might explain why this gun shoots so well.

 

[10/22AppleCreekShooter]

I got another Marlin 17V that shoots just as good.

I have had similar results with my xt.Shoots all 17gr to same spot but doesn't shoot 20gr very well.

My CZ 455 shoots that good.. Nothin special just a 455.. Hornaday 17 Vmax is it's fav ammo

That's an awesome looking stock. Looks like French walnut and not a factory offering. I own a 917 Marlin but laminated stainless fluted. It too shoots dime size 100 yard groups on a calm day. It does like one brand better than others as well to get that group. Heard some say the savage is accurate but I've yet to see one this accurate. Nothing over 3/4" groups and one around 1/2". Out to 300 it's real good without wind.

I bought a 17V in 2004.
They are capable of groups, but the wind and trigger make it hard.

That's the two things that are an issue for accuracy in my 17. I put a new trigger in mine but wind is what can't be controlled.

Mine as well. It's a plain Jane model 93GV in .17 HMR but it is insanely accurate. Trigger is awful but it still shoots extremely well.

Tell me about that stock please. I would like to have one.

 

[10/22AppleCreekShooter]

I bought the blank for $300 here in MO. Sent it to a guy in KS to cut and finish it. It was a headache dealing with that guy and I will leave it at that.

 

[Pyscodog]

May have been a headache but sure turned out nice!!!
