We took the S&W 617 Mountain Gun out for an extended spin to see if this premium rimfire revolver is worth your hard-earned money.

Collectively, he has 20 years of outdoor rifle, pistol, shotgun, and bow hunting experience and previously competed in USPSA. Wyatt also had 10 years of home-based FFL firearms sales and transfers.
