Contrvlr 17 Posted July 1, 2014 That Savage is pretty sweet, played with one a few weeks back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XDm9-3.8 2 Posted July 1, 2014 Very nice. I've got the Ruger in 22lr for my kids and the 93R17 Savage in the TR model (your's looks like a BTV?) which has the McMillan-ish stock for Dad. Had all kinds of feed problems initially with the Savage. The magazines fit too loose and they dropped down just a little bit and did not allow the rounds to chamber. I had to pinch the back of the mags a little bit (the wings that ride up the guide) so they fit tighter and has been perfect since. 3-4 light taps with a rubber tipped hammer did the trick on each wing. The issue is described here - If your mags are loose, fix it before you even go to the range to avoid frustration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted July 1, 2014 Get a Riflebasix trigger for the Savage, you'll never regret it. Good luck with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jm1827 284 Posted July 1, 2014 Nice pickup...now I want one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbkid6974 1 Posted July 3, 2014 17 hmr is a great round. Slightly more than .22 but you get a lot more bang for your buck in my opinion. With that glass you should be able to get great groups out to 150 yards. Beyond that they drop off real quick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawnmoore81 623 Posted July 6, 2014 I'm hoping to get out this week to sight them in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rightisright 3 Posted July 8, 2014 Nice! I have two Savage .17 HMRs. They are absolute lasers out to 100 yards. No need to upgrade the triggers as someone mentioned above. For field and fun the Accutrigger is awesome. Unless you are going to seriously accurize the guns for benchrest, spending money on a new trigger is a waste.
