picked up a savage model 93 in 17 hmr yesterday afternoon. $299.99 from dicks sporting goods. green synthetic stock, 21" blued fluted bull barrel, bushnell 3x9x40 scope. the rifle has a short pull imo, seems awkward while standing but quiet comfortable while sitting. its not a pretty rifle by any means. its a user. the action is a bit rough compared to my model 110. if you cycle with a purpose you wont hardly notice it and after a box of shells it smoothed out a little. it has the accu-trigger, which i have fallen in love with. every shot is a surprise. the safty is mounted in an odd location that is a little difficult to get too. the safety is alot louder than id prefer to have on a hunting rifle but if you shift it slowly and control its position on the way to fire, it gets quiet. the magazine rides on a metal tab guiding it up into the rifle. to me its somewhat difficult to line up. i havent been able to shoot it out at 100 yds yet but at 50yds, im hitting pocket change. i was shooting remington 17 gr ammo out of it. im no ammo expert or anything but out of a 35 rounds i didnt have the first misfire.(this is my first 17hmr. my only rimfire experience with with 22lr, and it seems like 30-40% of them misfire on me)
my bench and rest lol
ammo ( only brand i could find, but postive results)
first 5 round group straight out of the box
pocket change at 50yds
reusable camo wrap. not the best but it kind of works, i found it easier to mover around carrying the rifle muzzle down with the sling upside down.
camo netting
