Hey gun nuts, i have a question. What do you think about the H&R sportster 17 hmr. ive been looking for a 17 hmr and I am in love with the marlin xt series, but dont want to pay just for the name and bolt system if i can get the same accuracy out of a h&r sportster with a heavy varmit barrel. so what are your thoughts. and if any of you recomend a new gun to drool over, please no ones over about 250. And this is talking about accuracy and consistency. not weight or anything else.

When I asked about the H&R .17 on another forum a month or so ago, the consensus was that it would be a tackdriver and with the heavy barrel a good deal. I had found one at Gander used for $99. By the time I got back to see about buying it, it was gone. It had synthetic furniture and I would have preferred wood.

Isn't this an apples and oranges comparison?

Not really because they are both accurate 17 hmr. im just looking for the most accurate, im trying to do some longer range pest control with one.
