Well, here it is! My new Savage 93R17! I've only put 100 rounds through it. It's the first gun I've shot using a scope, and I love it! Here's another picture of it with my CGDM and my cheap .380 ACP. If only ammo were more plentiful!

Sweet rifle.

Well, I still have to adjust the scope a bit. As I said, this is the first rifle I've used with a scope, so the groups are rather large. I have to improve my technique, too. I really want to get a bipod. I think that will help.

Nice rifle, That's my next purchase, I have the .22 mag and didn't look into the .17 HMR until i did a comparison on my ballistics program, and really there isn't any comparison, good buy! and everyone that picked one up...i'm lacking on this item.

I love this rifle, but I think I'd like a new stock. I might just modify this one, though. I hope to go to the range this week to do a little shooting before I head back out to college!
As a side note, I am fairly new to owning guns (although my dad has a fair share), but this gun hobby seems it could be as addicting as all of our knife sicknesses! Isn't it great!

At least as addicting..But anything can be. A good product, few dollars, and a little OCD,,you got an addiction..
Again,,nice rifle..

My brother has the model you do... i have the walnut stock model, i have handled the cz model and its beautiful i just cant justify the extra money i think it was close to 600 bucks... i havnt seen many other models offered in the 17hmr...
my only complaint about it , was at first it was hard to pick up ammo and it was spendy compared to my old 22lr small critter gun , but i think the proformace won me over...
the synth stock is nice and light if you gotta pack it around all day i probably would of opted for this model.... but the walnut stock is heavy enough and balanced enough to work well as a stable platform...
ill try to get some picks of mine once i haul it out and get a new finish on it....

Nice rig! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I'm a big fan of the .17hmr cartridge. A great plinker round that brings a good serving of accuracy and consistency to the table. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I like it! I've got a Marlin that I done some trigger work on. The 17 is a fun round.
