I have a 93R17 FV-SR and a Mk. II FV-SR. Both are incredibly accurate guns, shooting under 1moa at 50 and 100, and opening up to about 1" when suppressed. I have not had any issues with the magazines' feeding issues that are often reported UNLESS I use the 10rd in the .17, because it's a pile of turds.

Is there any reason not to complete the family in .22WMR with another model 93? The first thing that happens is the stock goes in the trash and a free-floated laminate one goes on, so no issues there.

93R has the benefit of having aftermarket bits available for it, whereas the B-series offers some nice upgrades (mag, coned breech) that are well worth the upgrade. I would personally lean towards the new B-series, but I also sold off my Mark II and 93R and replaced them with CZ 452's because I had issues with them.

Might want to wait and see what Savage has coming for 2018 as I can all but guarantee there will be some heavy barrel laminate options added to the B-series.
