Own:
Taurus .17HMR 7shot revolver

.17hmr revolver? That sounds like a blast to shoot! The small rifle round handguns are awesome, I'd like to snag an FN fiveseven soon.

Wouldnt know. The week I bought it (2 weeks ago now) I got all my final projects dumped on me at school so havent had a chance to test it out yet!
However, that is the exact reason I got it. I was like OMG THAT LOOKS LIKE A BLAST!.

On the 5-7 front, I owned one, along with a 2nd Gen PS90 (look up why 2nd gen was the best...) and an AR upper chambered in 5-7. Absolutely LOVED them. However, rounds were hard to find at the time, and expensive. Now federal makes rounds under the american eagle brand? Which is nice. Ended up selling them during one of the "gun grab scares" to pay rent...havent been able to replenish that specific round yet.

The 5.7x28 seems like a little brother to a 357SIG

Once my Ar15 / .223 is done I would like to get two uppers for it. One in .22LR for cheap plinks and one in 6.5 Grendel for long shots.

The Mk19 sounds pretty fun too!!

Guy at work is thinking of getting a Sig 716, has anyone shot one?  Do they live up to the hype on accuracy at 800 yds?

Probably good for around 800 yards, but so is any well built .308 AR chassis (AR10, LAR308, SR25, etc).

I just bought this little guy, it's a Mossberg MVP LC chambered in .308, in testing they shot 8" groups at 950 yards.  That's about 1 moa at that range.
