Just a quick video of a neat old rifle. I try to post information on vintage rifles when I can just to get them out there a bit. Enjoy.
The Tator’s Savage 17hmr goes head to head with Mcgarey302’s Marlin .22wmr (magnum). You get a bit of a comparison of destructive power but keep this in mind, the video was not meant to be a textbook “comparison.” It is intended to ENTERTAIN. That said, ENJOY! For the music version of this video, please see my other channel. thanks. Please rate and subscribe! Thanks.
I made a part 2 of this video because I wanted to make it very very very clear that this was a fair comparison of the 17hmr and 22mag comment rate and subscribe
Little .22 bolt action guns are a riot. They’re fun and engaging recreational shooting options for everyone. In some ways theyre easier and less intimidating instructional tools for kids, some female, or new shooters. The Serbian-made Zastava Z5 Youth gun is just such a rifle. Formerly imported by Charles Daley, Interarms, and then marketed by Remington Model Five (version shown and discussed here), this little .22 bolt gun fun and fast. Bolt lift is only 60º and the action is smooth. Trigger out of the box is a bit stagey buy as shown can be easily improved using factory adjustment screws. Current versions wear a press checkered laminated stock but other hardwood versions, like this one, have been issued. This stock is diminuitive for the smaller shooter and features 12 3/8″ length of pull (vs 13 3/8″ for adult Z5 model). Weighing only 5 ½ lbs (6 lbs with laminated stocks), the Rem Five/Z5 is quick into action and won’t weigh down the new shooter (as long as you dont mount a heavy optic!). The bluing in this model is superb: high gloss and smooth. The Z5 comes with a 5 round magazine with is a bit thumb busting but ruggedly built. These magazines are not readily available but currently can be had from USSG Inc directly for around . Having more with make your shooting sessions a bit funner. But the Z5 can also function as a single shot with the included single shot adaptor (may be optional on some models), thus teaching the new shooter ammunition conservation and …

The Marlin Papoose .22 rifle is an excellent all-around .22 rifle choice. Weighing only 3.2 lbs (!) and having the capability to break down easily into a buoyant carry case, the Papoose is extremely portable. It is lighter and more compact than most other .22s around. And unlike some other previous survival .22s, its accurate and reliable while still offering adequate firepower. Other features include a grooved receiver for scope mounting, last shot hold open, high visibility open sights, stainless steel construction, sling swivels, a decent trigger, a fiberglass polycarbonate stock, and the availability of 10 rd magazines (7 rd standard). The Marlin Papoose will function well in different roles: family .22 rifle, survival kit gun, or backpacking gun. The version shown wears a compact and lightweight Weaver 4×28 Classic Rimfire scope (#849430, SWFA.com) which maximizes its accuracy. Its the best .22 pack rifle around.

A review of my marlin 917 I consider the marlin 917 to be a very good choice of rifle, it is well priced and accurate Marlin is the top producer of rimfire rifles in the US Included in their extensive line are three bolt action varmint rifles chambered for the hot .17 HMR cartridge. These are the Models 917V, 917VS, and 917VSF. Marlin’s 917 series varmint rifles are widely considered to be among the most accurate on the market. This reputation for accuracy is reassuring, since .17 HMR ammunition is loaded to a very high accuracy standard of 1 MOA or better groups at 100 yards. Tack driving ammunition deserves a tack-driving rifle. The .17 HMR is the highest velocity, flattest shooting rimfire cartridge available today. The original Hornady 17 grain V-Max bullet is credited with a MV of 2550 fps, and the newer 20 grain XTP (spitzer) bullet is credited with a MV of 2375 fps. The 17 grain bullet is touted as the varmint bullet, and the less destructive, deeper penetrating 20 grain bullet is recommended for small game hunting. All Model 917 rifles are built on the basic Marlin 917 bolt action and they have much in common. The 917’s tubular action body appears to be machined from bar stock. The receiver is grooved for tip-off scope mounts and also drilled and tapped for conventional scope bases, which are included. The bolt locks closed by means of a single lug at the base of the bolt handle. The two position safety at the right rear of the action allows the bolt to be …
