A local shop has a sporter P17 priced at $275. Barrel is uncut but receiver has been drilled for scope mounts. I have a spare Leupold and would like to have it for a deer/coyote rifle. Bore is in good shape but the finish is a bit rough.

They shoot as well as the shooter.
Well, then that's out the window...Quote:

Go on buy it you know you want to and you can still use that excuse although might be a bit hard with a Loopy on it

No reason not to work on your trigger time with this one...but yes, a scope will put your head way up and make it harder than if it has a cheek rest comb on the stock like a sporter. Point is they're plenty accurate.
Thing is Jim getting it into the fold TheRollingBlock could use the excuse that "The Loopy scope needs to be on this rifle otherwise there is just $000's of scope just sitting idle and you want to make use of it or you could just say the deer told you so!"
I just say to my wife "I want/would like that rifle and then I am usually dodging a frying pan or pot as I scarper" it is an impasse at the moment I can have a rifle but I have to sell one I already have that ain't going to happen so stuck......?
Been there, done that. More accurate than most military rifles. Good for maybe 1MOA at 100 off a sandsack when you have found ammo it likes. And I had a photo somewhere to prove it but have having upload problems with the forum over the last couple of weeks.Quote:

Worst case you have to make one yourself.Quote:
