traded into a push feed m70 chambered in this yesterday...looking at cartridges of the world, it's very similar to the 17 fireball.... I got 2 of factory 17 fireball ammo with the trade... its gonna be an interesting rifle, as I'm used to bigger stuff... supposed to be a douglas barrel, unknown maker... bore looks good... anybody else got 1???... thanks, jim

I have had a Remington 700 chambered for the
Mach IV since the early 1990's. Heavy barrel and a Canjar single set trigger.
great for out to 300 yds.. Past 200 yds they just fall over dead, no graphic deaths just dead.
My rifle likes the Hornady 20 gr. v-max ran just under 3900 f/s. At 100 yds you can cover ten shots with a quarter.

jimatcat,

Your M70 is the first I've heard of, in 17 Mach IV. Maybe you could post a pic??

17's are kinda my thing......so here's a pic of one of my Mach IV's. It's a custom Sako L461 actioned rifle, built in the mid 1960's.
