wtnhunt Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Re: marlin 917v 17hmr my results Going to get a .17hmr soon, not sure yet which one I will get. Wal mart stocks the marlin and a savage, but was kind of thinking about a remington 597. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Re: marlin 917v 17hmr my results Cool, but you need to get that thing back to 100 yards and see what it will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] With all the horror stories that I have seen posted on this, and other forums about the 597 jamming, I personally would go with the Savage or the Marlin. Maybe Remington has straightened out the problem, because I haven't heard of problems lately, but it would still be in the back of my mind.

wtnhunt Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Re: marlin 917v 17hmr my results I do remember hearing about the 597 in 22lr having some problems particularly from one member of these forums. Had not heard any bad comments on the 597 in the 17 hmr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
