It would be hard choosing anymore a good 17 barrel, there are so many out there today. A fairly solid leap of faith today with the major makers.
In earlier times, the materials and just the loss of barrels making said 17 caliber was kinda hard for some makers to get over. Remington recalled a lot of 17 barrels for "unknown" reasons when the 17 remington came out. So making a 17 barrel is painful and costly, even worse is the 14's. bullets for the 17 have evolved over the years, so some folks still use a 10 twist and some use a 9 twist. Kinda an old bullet/new bullet thing for some environments. Is one better than the other, depends upon your viewpoint I guess, both will do it ok within their parameters. I believe that I have some straight taper 9 twist 17 barrels by Green Mountain, guess have to looksee the site for the latest. I seem to have more Shilen barrels across the board, the way it worked out. I do wish GM would offer a sporter taper of their barrels; maybe someday. For me, I would favor a 17 barrel made by a maker heavy into the benchrest rifle circles. Just me. There are others that have earned their spot obviously from user reports as well. Tis good to be in America................. |

My Cooper 21 Varmint Extreme 17 Remington has a Shilen Barrel and I am very happy with it. I don't think you can go wrong with barrels from any of the premium makers. I suppose that barrel installation, bedding and the ammunition would make more difference than choice of premium barrel.

My Pac-Nor .17 HMR barrel is 9" twist.

I recently purchased a Ruger 77/22Mag off this forum from Rick In Oregon. Along with purchasing the rifle I purchased the Lilja 17HMR drop in barrel that he had. I can't say enough about the Lilja Barrel. At 75 yards I shot a ragged hole 10 shot group. That is with rimfire ammo. I'm sure if Lilja can make a drop in rimfire barrel that shoots that well their other 17 caliber stuff is good as well. I put together a custom 20 VarTarg with a Shilen barrel. It shoots lights out as well. Of course I'm not sure if Shilen makes a 17 cal barrel.

Shilen has made 17 cal barrels for a long time.
