hey waldo! i know dave...and i'm from MINERVA!!
better yet, remington built a limited run of 300 pieces...a 700 limited edition .17 rem. for 2001. a dealer bud of mine still has one in spatter synthetic (funky!) with all stainless parts.
.17 rem is a great chuck buster out to 150 yards...but i prefer .22 cheetah, myself. as waldo says, doping the wind is a high art form with .17.
merle, how's it going sir?!?!
