I had a chance this weekend to play with a few 17HMRs at a local hunting outfitter. I compared the Savage, Marlin, Remington, Henry, and Ruger models side by side. The Ruger is my first choice and the most expensive. Around $509.00....... The Savage and Remington models were a far second.
I like the 'controlled feed' of the Ruger. If you chamber a round, drop the magazine and open the bolt.....................the bolt 'holds' the round in place all the way to the extractor.
Not to mention the flawless and flush-to-stock Ruger rotary magazine. It makes it nice to be able to carry the rifle at its balance point (unlike my Marlin 25MN in .22 Mag).
Do you agree that the Ruger is superior to the other rifles?
