Tonight I Just "Legoed" my MKII into a .17 500mm Compact w/ the new Superior liner (have .22, .25 and .30 in all lengths as well). @ 30.75" (78cm) it looks Awesome. Since there are many available pellet and slug weights, more than I could possibility need to serve my passions, I will start with the mid-higher weights @ 13.43 and move up or down, depending on what my liner likes ( I have an extra liner in case this one is so-so).
.17 is not as forgiving as, say, .22/.25 out to 200yd, but in the proper hands, just as deadly (accurate), as many here can attest.
Qualities I appreciate are:
- Inexpensive
- Air friendly (shot count)
- Backyard friendly (super quiet)
- Supports the smaller lighter compact platform
- Accurate
