Got my new Marlin 917 M2 rifle this week. It is a 7 shot clip rifle in the new .17 Mach 2 cartridge. It has a really nice wood stock with very clean checkering and sling studs. The rifle also has a bull barrel for added accuracy. It comes with scope bases so I mounted my Weaver 2.5-7 power scope on it for a test shoot. This is the sweetest shooting rimfire rifle I have ever shot. I shot 15 shots that would fit inside a quarter at 50 yards off my bench rest. There were no flyers and the group was almost round. The trigger on this rifle is exceptional. Marlin introduced the T-900 trigger assembly last year in all their rimfire rifles. I really like the safety too as it feels like a ball bearing assembly it's so smooth. All in all this is the sweetest rimfire rifle on the market for the price. It shoots better than my M77/.17 Ruger that retails for over $400. The Marlin meanwhile goes for around $200. I will have pics of this rifle up soon.
