Doug, I know a retired Librarian that could probably help you put that deal together!

pricing
Sounds like your on top of the pricing issue, probably could even go a little higher depending on the package. Having the brass already, coming with dies, and the builder are all big incentives. Frankly it sounds like a nice rifle but maybe because I'm partial to the 17MK4 and never really got into the 17FB, even after owning a couple. Your buddy on the other hand may be saying hey I got 1500.00 in this rig! Let us know how it goes and of course we need pics with that lovely background.

I'm sure with ya on the .17 MachIV Chuck! When I'd just gotten into sub .22 caliber wildcats the .17 MachIV was my first true love, what a dandy! For colony rodents there ain't much better .
When I look at all the rifle's I've had turned into wildcats it's scary how much money a guy's lost in the process, they would all be worth more had they just been left in factory configuration I'd bet. But where's the fun in that ?? I'll get a fair portion of my investment back at some point and it's sure been a hoot putting them together and the introducing them to my little rodent friends . You got p-dogs down your way don't ya Chuck? Big enough State to have some a most everything I'd guess.

For me, Doug - $300.00 to $500.00 dies included would work - of course, the closer to $300.00, the better.
I don't have a problem with the 10" twist as it will still run laser flat 20gr. Vmax's at about 4,200fps, and 25 Hornady's fast enough for them to work on coyotes.

Guess you knowing her kinda shoots that one down . She don't care what I buy as you well know and she's rather fond of the .17 MachIV herself as far as that goes. Ain't seen ya around for a while, ever track one a them Beavertail Anschutz down??? If ya like old school they had a really nice Savage/Anschutz M141 over ta Shedhorn last Saturday. MonteCarlo stock with fore-end cap, inlays, nice shape! I thought about ya, "really". I'd a called ya but the Librarian had me by the ear and we was head'n fer the door .

I like the way this worked out Doug.
He decides to build this gun after you influence his decision to go sub 22 caliber. He sends it to a great small caliber-reputation gunsmith, does more than most might want to pay for, then doesn't use it much. And he thinks of you when he wants to sell it! Not much better than that, unless you are my son who " long term borrows" all of my Skippy guns causing me to buy a second one to use myself, LOL. It sounds like a great fit for you, having all that brass. Are you sure you didn't plan on this becoming yours Just kidding Buy it, regardless if he is $200 more than you feel is fair for yourself. I am sure every Skippy you kill with it will remind you of your friend. I just got my first Mk 4, need to shoot it once the flood water receeds. Allen |

stocks
I know the synthetic varmints had a short lop, around 12.5". Found out the hard way when I got a good deal one. I didn't realize those gray laminate stocks were short also but at least you can add on to one of those.
Not many PD's in Texas, some in the North West and the pan handle. Lot of 2 legged Rodents, depending on where you live they won't let you shoot them. Last edited by Chuck Miller; 02-11-2017 at 10:24 PM. |

This is getting off topic a bit maybe, but since the question was asked, the northern Texas panhandle area from Lubbock north into New Mexico and Oklahoma has had some great PD shooting in the past.
The areas around Dumas and surrounding small towns/areas that ten years ago had great PD shooting were hit hard by drought and the plague in the past few years in the Rita Blanca Grassland area and east and south of there. I still have a couple of ranchers that I continue to communicate with that say the pd numbers are coming back but that it will be a few years before its back to earlier year numbers for shooters. Getting permission to shoot was not hard to get in past years. One rancher that I know had shooter 281 days out of 365 days one year maybe 7-8 years ago. Fingers crossed for the future. -BCB
