17varminter

Would you consider buying a Browning LW in 17 AH rather than having it built? I have a friend who is selling one for health reasons. Very highly figured walnut stock, brand new 10-twist Lilja chambered in 17 Ackley hornet and finished off with a 10x Unertl (perfect condition). Probably has less than 100 rounds down the tube. He wants $1600 for the whole deal, including the Unertl. A new rifle in 22 hornet would run you $1K, the barrel and chambering would be $5-600, and the Unertl is worth $650. That is $2250 of value for $650 less. He had it up on the rack at Champion Shooters in New Albany, Ohio buy took it down because of all the Looky-Lou's handling the gun. Here is a photo.

Do you by chance still have that Ruger #1 in 22 Hornet you advertised on this classified last Christmas? Jim
