Savage's new A17 Semi-Auto 17HMR Rifle

[J.Baker]

Got it.. Didn't see aprox street price first time read..

I think Lonewulf's speculation is going to be a little low on the A17. Dealer price will likely be somewhere in the neighborhood of $350-375 and the street price will likely be somewhere in the $400-425 range. Had we been talking about a $1,000 MSRP rifle the $100 variance between MSRP and street price probably would have been accurate, but as the cost drops so does the variance.

this guy paid 425 out the door... I have to call my dealer tomorrow and see if they are here in central PA. yet, also a detail strip down he done of the rifle...

as soon as my gun guy can lay his hands on one, it will be about $400 from his hands to mine :)

My A17 will be here Thursday or Friday and I orderd 4 boxes of CCI A17 ammo last night at 59.95 each can't wait. My LGS said it would be around 380 out the door but will see.
None of my LGS's have any 17hmr ammo in stock or else I would of went that route 1st.

Stopped by my local Bi-Mart today and they did not have the A17, but they are expecting them and have the stcikers already printed and ready to go. $369

Just picked up the new a17 and took it out to the range today. However, almost every time I fire, the magazine releases and falls on the ground and another round wont chamber. I also noticed that it was denting the next casing that it would try to chamber. I'm using the Hornady ammo. I know they recommend the CCI, but all they had was the Hornady and they claimed other ammo should work fine. Any idea what's wrong? Someone told me they thought it may just be the magazine. It's a 10 round rotary mag.

And so it begins..............

Reminiscent of the first range reports from new B-Mag owners.

Well, first, I'd try the CCI ammo.

I'd also look at the magazine retention/latch very carefully and make sure there is no crud or manufacturing debris that is keeping it from fully locking into place.

Cause your magazines on the ground it cant chamber unless in the rifle....... Ok the video I watched the guy did have trouble with the second round not chambering... Maybe just try 9 rnds in the mag and see if that helps with feed problem...
I really think this A17 is going to be a really good rifle...I was not really drawn to the Bmag nor am I still... My 17 hornet fills that void... Would like to have the 17HH in an AR platform though...

Finally got the A17 ammo in today that I was promised, but still no sign of the rifle (which I was told on 3/10 would be shipped out UPS Red Label by the end of that week).

In other news, I did see this video on YouTube yesterday that has left me a bit disappointed in Savage's efforts on this new model.

I'll add the Savage 42 to your list.

[J.Baker]

The 42's ugly as sin, but at least it's functional...other than the sights. And since it's a single-shot with a 2-piece stock you don't get the flex like you do on the long rifle stocks that are hogged out for the trigger and magazine bits.

[Lonewulf]

my BIL went to a gun show today and called me, they had a A17 17Hmr and he got them down to $410 so he bought it and brought it home to me :)

[Lonewulf]

now to find a couple extra clips,,,,, guess I'll call Savage Monday

anybody have the toll free savage number handy?

[ranger56528]

Got my A17 Thursday and my A17 ammo arrived Friday now to get to the range.
