Before the 617 was made I started writing them for a stainless m-18 . Then came the 617 and yes I like the full lug ,but I still wanted that stainless 18. So I kept writing , then that first mountain gun popped up and like a lot of us we missed out. Keep writing requests and finally all of us...

I have the target model with black sights and I am happy with mine . I had a couple small issues at first that I dealt with, first I didn’t clean it and oil it thoroughly before going to the range. My fault , now runs great . Then I decided to put my Burris 2x7 on it to check it out for hunting...

I tried the day they were released to public but like most of us , not fast enough! So every year I send S&W a email suggesting they make more . I carry a .22 every time I hike ,hunt ,fish . A revolver is preferable as depending on time of year, I have first two rounds are snake loads followed...

Can’t answer your questions but I and a lot of others would be if they made them again. But as a full production run !

I bought a m648 cylinder and had it fitted by a gunsmith to my 17-2. It was close but I needed better hands than I have . Anyhow wow accuracy was/ is fantastic !

I don’t think you have to sv bullets as others shoot lots of different ammo in their guns . M-617-2 came with alloy cylinder and they shot well , some had issues and S&W replaced them with a stainless cylinder. You might try gunparts.com and be able to buy a cylinder for a 617 to shoot a variety...
