22 mag semi auto rifle for 200 bucks?

[DAVE_M]

Yeah, i was waiting for that as well since I have zero experience with and haven't done much reading on the .17's.

The WSM is the one that uses the .27 Cal ramset Shell's?

It’s based off of the blank cases, but it’s uses its own case. A .17 cal bullet moving 3000 fps sound spicy.

Wow. Just did a quick peek at wiki specs, 20gr at 3000+ = 400 ft lbs! That's more than any .22mag I've seen data on!
Also I had no idea the 27 Cal blanks they base it off of are 30+ mm in case length!

No, but it seems someone is making an ar15 in the .17wsm.

 

[DAVE_M]

You can find a .17 WSM under $300 and .17 HMR under $200.

Before this gets derailed off onto 17 Maggot rifles, here is the only review that I have found on the Rossi 22 Magnum auto rifle on the Impact Guns site:

Overall this little rifle will turn out to be a popular gun. Out of the box it has some problems. First read the manual and clean all of the protective coatings and grease and clean thoroughly. While cleaning ;dry fire by putting your thumb on the hammer and pull trigger. Do not let the hammer slam forward. Stop it with your other thumb. I did this many times and the trigger pull dropped by 2 pounds at least. Effectively you are polishing the fine burrs from trigger and sear. It does make a difference. Second, and this is something that Rossi (or their manufacturing company) should do. The end of the barrel chamber has very sharp edges that should be polished out (not sanded, not filed) but polished with polishing compound and jeweler rouge. The sharp edges actually will shave the brass and leave the action covered in tiny brass shavings. More important, jams caused will damage the bullets. Jamming and failure to load will result. I went through 7 or 8 bullet types and shapes. The sharp edge on chamber will grab the bullet right where the casing begins. Many jams. Shot a couple of hundred rounds first day. During my second cleaning (first was out of box) I polished the barrel end. Just polished and just the edge with a dremel tool and felt cone with polishing paste and rouge. NOTE: You are not removing material just polishing the edge. Second time out I shot many more shots. It favors the more pointed bullet shapes but now feeds almost all ammo. It is very accurate and fun to shoot. Looking forward to my third trip to the range.


PS I had a number of different 17HMR rifles and pistols when it first came out and all were very accurate but very susceptible to wind drift with light breezes. I tried the Savage 17 WSM and it was a great round but in the pencil barreled and lightweight plastic stock, was not as accurate as the 17 HMR rifles. 1.5" groups vs. 5 shot groups covered with a dime at 100 yards for the 17 HMR. If you can get one in the Savage bull barrel model and/or put an improved stock on it, it will shoot a lot better. It is still accurate enough to shoot porkers in the head in your cabbage patch.

Well done Hunter. Thanks for that. Hoping to pick mine up this week and I’ll be sure to go that route before I shoot.

22mag fan here. Report back on your impressions and experience with this rifle. Also what brand ammo is the subsonic? I've never seen it.

Will do.

Winchester and I’ve seen it at academy for over a year now but bought bulk online.

I have a Marlin tube fed, hunt with it often. I don’t like a mag sticking down for carrying purposes as most times I’m doing quite a bit of walking, that’s just a personal preference. Looks like a fun little rifle for the price.

My dad has one as well. Agree on all points.

They make a sub sonic. Its called 22 long rifle.

Would make a nice lil pig thumper !!!

I'm guessing you are talking about a ground hog and not a hog hog yes?

Can’t shoot those in a 22 mag tho..

I’ve killed pigs with a 17HMR and a 22cal air gun. One shot behind the ear can end a pig. Even a sizable pig.

17hmr 17 grain

 

[EricB]

Because 9mm will penetrate further the 223. In gel test. "Much deeper." "That's what she moaned"!

 

[buckedup]

I too have taken a fair amount of hogs with the 22 mag and 17hmr. My favorite is my cz semi auto loaded with 45 grain personal defense rounds. Took a 200 pounder in February with that combo
