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. |

QFT 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. |

My friend has a .17HMR bolt action. Not bad, but he should of gotten something a little bigger IMO.

Then its a extra 300+ for something thats less accurate but shoots a bigger bullet. I just need this for target and small game. ------------- |

Just saying. We went coyote hunting. My friend and I had AR-15's and other friend had his .17 He felt left out. So I let him shoot my AR at some stuff.

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 ------------- |

I looked at 10/22's but it costs so much money to get them working well and to shoot accurately.

If I owned a 10/22, I would have to convert them ASAP. or  -------------

Went out shooting today. Took a bit to get it sighted in but after that, WOW. Shoots just over 1 inch at 100 yards with 20 grain XTP's. Shot cans of pudding and boxes of corn starch and it makes for one pretty cool target. Picking off 20 gauge hulls at 75 yards was easy. Low recoil, super fast bullets, super easy to shoot. The accutrigger was a nice feature too. ------------- |

Our 10/22 is an awesome gun, we swapped the sights for a ring peep sight and wow, it's great. And as for a rifle, I'm still not 100% sure, It's gotta be something larger than .223 since I've got an AR-15. -------------

http://www.savagearms.com/at_pressrelease.htm - http://www.savagearms.com/at_pressrelease.htm Accutrigger. Neat little thing, some people do not like them. Personally with no adjustment done to the trigger its perfect. Breaks super clean and is nice and crisp. Yeah if your ever out here we will go shoot some fun targets. Like pudding, cans of water, 12 gauge hulls filled with black powder and a live primer. ------------- |

I just picked up a new toy recently too.
EOTech 552 holographic sight.
Absolutely awesome for close, fast shooting...

The 10/22 is all kinds of fun with fun on top and a side order of yummy from the dollar menu. A stock one is good enough at 100yds to be fun and the 50rnd magazines more than make up for any flyers :) If you want to shoot and can't afford/don't care about uber weapon pissing contests, it's perfect. I've been to the outdoor range with mine and the guys with the AR's and fancy new HK's were stopping and watching while I emptied 50 after 50. They plinked and fiddled (which is fun too) but I got to hose while they carefully spent their more expensive ammo. It's probably the only rifle I would want a double trigger frame on :) ------------- My shoes of peace have steel toes. |
