Just thought id share. New savage 93R17 .17HMR rifle. Cheap bushy 3-9 scope on it for now. Was 250 bucks at the shop just up the road from me. Cant wait to go vaporize squirrels and shoot one inch groups at 100 yards with it

My brother had that exact same rifle. The accu trigger is a very nice feature. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal too.

As with everyone else in this thread, my buddy had a .17.  Really fun caliber.

Me and me friend used to shoot them from his backyard all the time. Crows are just annoying, and I couldn't care less if they do serve a purpose in our eco-system.

They wake me up on Saturday mornings, and I shoot them in the head.

Circle of life.

I've been thinking about buying a Browning X-Bolt, but I can't justify spending that much on a rifle when it's just going to sit for the next couple of years.

Not to hijack but, I would like to buy a Remington 700 or something when I turn 18. We have a lot of military style rifles but no bolt actions really. Figure a .308 or something. They make that gun is so many calibers.

Look into the savage 10fp. Will be more accurate than most of the 700's out of the box. I was thinking about geting a 10fp or a 700 SPS Tactical but its out of my price range. 700 for the gun and 500+ for a scope and not to mention the $29.99 boxes of 20 cartages.

Taking it out shooting on monday. Will post my opinion on it later. Maybe some pictures too
And impulse. Yep a canuck with a gun :0
