So the back-story is that I got a bunch of free ammo from a friend of mine earlier this year and there was a box Winchester 17 HMR in the mix, and instead of finding someone with a rifle in the same caliber, I went out looking for a rifle to go with the ammo.......
So I went on a tour of the local gun shops and found a homeless Marlin 917 with a heavy barrel and black composite stock.
Marlin includes a set of scope bases in addition to the grooved receiver, you can go with rimfire rings or Weaver bases. So I went with Weaver bases, rings and a nice big 3-12X50 scope.
The jury is still out as far as how the rifle shoots, haven't been able to get to the range yet........
