17HMR "Silhouette" Woodchuck
Some fun earlier in the week, a 17HMR "Silhouette" Woodchuck:

One woodchuck patient enough to stay put for 2 shots, 128 yards, 9.5" full bull Bellm made 17HMR with Williams rear Silhouette and TC Front sights, two dovetail locks to enable mounting the Super 14 forends, Western Gunstock Thumbhole grip, Hornady 17Gr. V-Max 17HMR, and a fence post which doubled as a rest. Now that was fun Big Grin

BTW, the 17HMR 17Gr. Hornady ammo chronographs at 2350 fps out of this 9.5" Bellm made barrel. Not too bad, only losing 200 fps from the 2550 fps published velocity in rifle length barrels twice this long.
