Got The Last On In Stock..Bullya!

Right then!

So yesterday I looked @ a 93R17 TR that was in stock @ Academy Sports

I usually buy only from my LGS...unless he can't get something from his supplier. This was the case w/ getting me a is 93R17 TR. Supplier was out. I considered waiting until tomorrow to go back to Academy Sports.

But that voice in the back of my mind said: "Get there @ lunch time today, or it will be too late!"

I went back @ noon today. The display rifle was the very last one! Every now & then Lady Luck grants me a small indulgence. ;D Yes, I had to do the 'Walk Of Shame', but the kid and his manager were very nice.

I wanted to use a set of Burris Signature Zee rings (low) and a 36X Tasco (Japanese made) scope. The Savage-Supplied 'Weaver-style' bases were a tad low for this combo. Besides the look of the Savage-Supplied bases left me cold! ;)

I swapped them out for a set of Weaver # 16 bases I had in my parts stash and a set of brass .032 thousands shims under the Weaver 16's. This gave a good 1/8 inch clearence between the objective and the barrel.

I removed the 3 sling studs so I can bench it tomorrow.

I really like the 'All Business' look if the gun. The heavy fluted, counterboared barrel, the Tactical bolt handle, the Tacticool type stock and the flat finish. :cool:

The action screws were just barely snug! :confused: I brought them up to 12 " lb.

The accu-trigger is crisp, w/o creep, and already light. :) I tried the trigger w/ a snap-cap in place. I didn't put my trigger guage on the accu-trigger yet. I'll wait untill after the first range session. The bolt moves very smoothly.

Let us know how it shoots. Would like to see a pic with that scope on her thanks.

Here ya go! Impressions: The tactiCool stock just sits on the bags like a bench gun, no rocking! The angle of the grip is about perfect. The Accutrigger breaks clean @ 2-1/4 lb.

Having a mag feed issue! it won't feed more the 3 round w/o trouble. Load 5 rounds and the first one won't budge w/o considerable force. I ordered 2 additional mags from Midway today. Overall, I like this gun! :)

Now, if I could just get that scope a little closer to the barrel... ;) it actually has about 1/16 " clearence.
