Due to the ongoing shortage of .22 LR ammo in my area, I am considering a .17 HMR rifle so I have some options. My criteria are:
$200-250 range
Reliable
Accuracy - 1" or less at 50 yds
Trigger - Good (not match grade) trigger
Stock - Wood, Laminate or Synthetic Stock - probably synth as it may take some knocks afield. Needs to work well with a scope. Thumbhole stocks will not be considered.
From my limited research, it looks like Marlin or Savage are within my specs.
Thanks for all experienced suggestions
