⏺ Stars & Stripes Stock, Reliable Delayed Blowback Action, 10-Round Mags

With its handsome American Flag-theme stock, this semi-auto Savage A17 features a 22″ barrel chambered for the .17 HMR rimfire round (10-rd magazine). We’ve used A17s and they are fun and surprisingly accurate. This American Flag model A17 is $440.98 at Palmetto State Armory.
2. Grafs.com — Free Reloading Scale with $75 Sierra Purchase

⏺ Gauge Tool plus 5 Bushings, Essential for Precision Hand-loading
Are you checking your headspace to ensure you’re pushing your shoulders back the correct amount? If you’re not using a tool like the Hornady Headspace Gauge with 5 bushings then you are just guessing and you’ll never know for sure. Using one of these headspace gauges is one of the best ways to control your full-length sizing and thereby improve the consistency of your handloads.
