Going to fork out $700 for the cabelas B Mag target bolt action rifle. I am curious if any fellow AO members have purchased or used this rifle? Cons pros? I am not reloading. Feedback is appreciated.

Have it, love it. Paired it up with the Cabelas Euro scope (made by Meopta) and shoot targets between 100-200m away. This thing is unreal, bough the rimfire spinner targets for fun when they were on sale and hit the 2 inch round plate every time. No regrets what's so ever.

I didn’t know reloading was even an option?
Factory primed cases??
Anyway.....enjoy.Pretty impressive lil cartridge,I was intrigued when I seen a couple rifles in .17WSM on the rack awhile back and did some homework and comparisons on all of the .17s both rim and centerfire.....I’m just trying to convince myself I need one with a legit excuse to justify buying one....ie;legal night hunting for preds with rimfire,I’d be all over a .17WSM

I didn’t know you could reload it? Are you sure?

I agree. I have a .204 and I love it but have a few yotes in a rimfire only areas near cities so that was the excuse for the purchase😁🤗. Excited to try it on a yote. So far I polled some squirrels and 8/8 Squirrels hate it.
