I have always wanted a 617 but never had the money at the time. My Ruger Single Six Hunter is a very accurate revolver for me, even if it is a convertible. But Ruger Single Six has the little larger barrel bore so they can also shoot magnum rounds. So they are not the pin point shooters like the Mark series.
Anyway I picked the 617 up and very excited about it. I will get it to the range tomorrow (5-12-2018) and see how accurate I am with it. Can't wait. Pictures to follow.
Since you're a Ruger man I'm surprised you didn't get the GP100 but you'll be glad you got the 617, my GP100 had many quality issues. My GP is now smooth after rework but the 617's have a shorter DA trigger pull and is faster for steel plates.

Enjoy your new 617.
