Just thought i would throw this out there for the fellas that wondered. I’m a fan of the 17wsm cal in rimfire. Problem is there’s not many gun manufacturers that make a reasonably priced rifle. I have savage b mags and a17 semi autos that actually shoot pretty good for a cheap rifle. When Winchester came out with this new Xpert line and included the wsm in with 22 and 17 hmr well it caught my eye. Im a fan of the hmr as well just because its rimfire and easy - i do wish they offered it in hm2 (mach2) caliber. Anyhow i picked up the rifle today and mounted scope and sighted in. I have to say - for a Tupperware stock and a cheap looking all over rifle it shot amazingly well with 20 gr pills. Action was slick and chambered rounds as it should and trigger was surprising ! Stock sucks and what’s worse is there’s will be no aftermarket wood stocks to replace the Tupperware - i asked Boyd’s ! And they said because of magazine release setup they would not attempt making out of wood. All that said - rifle shot dime size 5 shot groups and i didn’t even clean barrel before shooting. For 320 $ rimfire that shoots this well out of box i had to share.
