what would be the best .17hmr rifles availible for under 750e?

It wasn't me!

You won't go wrong with a CZ. I think they'll shoot as well as anything else, at the expense of perhaps a tiny bit of finish. No hesitation in recommending them.

the cz 452 or the marlin 917 is gettin good reviews and the browning t-bolt..

I dont know about any of the other ones. Just the friends CZ. Although his has a moderator. I seen a couple of nice ones on irishguntrader a couple of months ago for good prices.

A Sako Quad would be at the extreme limit of €750, but for bang for buck a CZ varmint would be my choice

CZ gets my vote. Try here - he had a good second-hand CZ 17 hmr for sale.

I picked my marlin 917vs - cf from martin over two years ago now and cant fault it. Its Joe Meany that is there now part time that is dealing with firearms. Give connollys a shout and they will put you on to joe.

You wont go wrong with cz, this is the 452 American .17 Hmr, extremely accurate , as any cz owner will tell you
i'm sure.

I have a Savage .177HMR bolt action...came from a semi-auto .22 but wanted something a bit more accurate. Have it about 4 months bought second hand for less than €350 including scope. Getting pretty good now out to about 200meters but should be flat to 300meters. I’m using Hornady V-Max rounds. It works for me.

She will be well in the dirt at 300 meters 200 plus is pushing it for such a small round. Great round doe. (though)

I wouldn't recommend using it on deer.

Sako Quad for me, but, I'm not sure if you'll get one for €750, perhaps for under €800. Am in the middle of switching from .22lr to .17HMR at the minute but in the time being I'm pimping it up a little, new trigger spring, firing pin spring, firing pin return spring, new oversized tactical bolthandle, picatinny rail on the way. No need for any of it, just like tinkering with it

Hey john, will you have two barrels then or just the one?

johngalway

Just the HMR, don't think I can justify both the .22lr and the HMR, much as I'd like to have both

moose112

Can't wait to get my sako quad, like a school child at christmas:D

boc121

Did you trade it in or how does that work, was wondering what price the barrels were?

johngalway

Yes, I did a trade in, so am in limbo at the minute. I've all of the gun, except for the barrel

My .22lr barrel is around two and a bit years old I think, part exchanged it along with €200 which I thought was a bit steep but sure what can ya do.

I just would'nt have thought the dealer would take a used barrel, but i suppose if they're that price they'd be able to shift them.

I have the CZ452 .17HMR american. Great little gun for the money, for 680 you would get a new one with an average scope and mod.
I paid a bit more as I bought the left hand version, it came with a hawke scope 3-9x40, it's not great but good enough for gun's(and my) range.
Happy shopping.

Well I bought the rifle off him, and the barrel is in the same condition as when I bought it off him so... I dunno, he didn't seem to have a problem with taking it to be honest.
