17 HMR Marlin VST Stainless Thumbhole *New Model * NZ - 17 HMR Bolt Action by Gun City

Gun and Game - The Friendliest Gun Discussion Forum Online. Aug 28, 1. I am thinking about picking up a. I know that I want one with either the wood or laminate stock. What do you guys know about the two firing systems. Is the trigger on the Marlin good? How does it compare to the accutrigger? Both look good in Stainless with the gray laminate stocks.

The blued and wood setups have their issues for me. On the one had the Marlin has no checkering on the wood and the wood seems low quality to me. The Savage seems to have slightly better wood and it does have checkering but it seems as if the checkering is stamped and not cut and so looks cheaply done.

I guess for the price I had the notion that it had to be a cheap scope Aug 28, 2. I have the Marlin VSS in. Havent tried the Savage.

Aftermarket stock?

The Marlin has a nice crisp triggerand after about 30 shots the groups tightened up to a size of a dime at 50 yards Mine is in a Carbon fiber stock and all stainless action.

I topped it with a Mueller APV Scope. I'm Happy with it. MoosemanAug 28, Marlin 17 hmr thumbhole stocks 28, 3. I vote for Savage. Aug 29, 4. AllAlaskanAug 29, Aug 29, 5.

MoosemanAug 29, Aug 29, 6. I also have the marlin that mooseman has and agree i can shoot dimes consistantly after much reloading testing. It is a gun well worth the money. Aug 29, 7. I dont have a.

SynthMusicianAug 29, Aug 29, marlin 17 hmr thumbhole stocks. Aug 29, WisconsinHunterAug 29, Savage has the better trigger. But Riflebasix makes a nice Marlin trigger I'd rather have a Marlin, just for a better barrel But riflebasix makes make money buying wholesale china nice marlin trigger Or you can mod the oem to get it down where you need it in about 30 minutes.

I'd rather have a marlin, just for a better barrel Hi Big Shrek, I don't want to steal the thread but maybe you can elaborate why you think Marlin has a better barrel and action? As you know, I've been checking out Marlin 's hard and also, Savage 64 BTV's.

The grooves are so shallow, I'd think they would foul very easily unless the barrel was kept very clean. I'm VERY close to purchasing the Savage 64 BTV.

I appreciate your thought! Both are going to perform flawlessly. I have a savage stainless synthetic without the accutrigger. While its not too terribly light the trigger is still pretty smooth and doesn't cause me any problems.

I have a friend with a marlin with the thumbhole stock and they are very similar performance wise. Honestly I've never heard of a 17 hmr that wasn't sub-moa accurate. And never heard of functionality issues. I have another friend with a rossi 17 and although I've never handled or shot it he says he gets sub moa out of it too.

Aug 30, Thanks for the feedback Big Shrek. I'm still looking, researching and comparing to see which rifle fits my needs best. Sep 6, You're reloading a rimfire? A lot of that going on lately.

I think it does better than dimesize 10shot groups.

I believe I could do better than Mooseman. I think he is slipping in his old age. I have the advantage being so old I can't get any older. You must log in or sign up to reply here.
