Brace your selves. I've been slammed every time I bring up 17s the last year or so and was even harassed to take an add off that would have created revenue, albeit small, for Dave. I bought my first 17 as a bad weather back up for my SW 20 and liked it so much I sold the Fox. I've had a few and while the barrels have appeared to be rust blued the receivers often seem to be more blue gray than black. I've questioned this on the Remington society board and no one seems to know what process was used on the receivers. What fascinates me is the solid ribs are not soldered but machined as part of the barrel.
