Do you shoot a .17 HMR semi auto?

I have three semi auto firearms in .17 HMR caliber.
The all shoot very well, are very accurate and function perfectly.
They are made by Excel Arms ... two Accelerator MP-22 semi auto pistols in .22 Magnum with the interchangable .17 HMR barrel and one Accelerator MR-17 rifle.
I have contacted Excel Arms for extra magazines one time and again for a feed ramp (my fault for losing it) and received quick, courteous assistance and service. They are a top notch firm in my opinion and experience.
Sadly, like most firearm manufacturers, the .17 HMR semi auto's have been discontinued; except for Volquartsen.

We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:

A single shot, break open bull barreled, Harris bipod mounted, NEF composite stock. (Forget what scope I have on it currently.)
It is a Laser beam.
Super accurate. Astoundingly so.
I have a ton of calibers to choose from, even more so in the varmint range. The .17 Rem is a pleasure to shoot when it is calm. You can pull trigger, see the flash through the scope, and 300 yards away watch the prairie dog explode. But, it is completely useless once the Kansas/Oklahoma winds pick up. So useless in fact that one particularly windy day, I switched to shooting a 10/22 instead and had a higher hit percentage. I suppose with the design of the HMR intended for probably less than 200 yards, it may not matter as much.

Its like a 22 Mag, I can shoot my 22 K Hornet cheaper and its a better round.
I love my 17 Remington. Its an old Rem 700 BDL back when they had SS Barrels. I really baby it never shoot long strings, keep the barrel cool. Its killed a Bus load of stuff.
Another great alternative would be a 17/221 fireball.

Woah...............................................................................$799 BIN? Dayum. Proud of it, aren't they?
It's been relisted .... possibly could be opening bid wins?
However the $50 for shipping seems a bit on the high side IMO.
