Re: New Ruger / Talo gun.......

I agree, the price is way too much for most people to shell out. If they would be sold for around $700 - $800, then I think they would be more appealing to the consumer.

Re: .17hmr rifling

Well, a rifle barrel is steel, cleaning brushes are bronze, jags are brass. Both are SOFTER than steel. How they claim cleaning can damage the bore I'm not sure. Yes the lands & grooves are smaller could be slightly more delicate but if you use a .17 rod & brush/jag you should be fine. Now ...

Especially in the centerfire rifles like the 17 Rem and the 17 Fireball, we have had some shooters clean theirs after about every 50-100 rounds. We had a .17HMR in here the other ...
