Looking to pick one of these up, who has got it and what you think? What scope did you use?

http://i.imgur.com/FQzyYBk.jpgHeres my 2 FVSRs, front is a MARK II in a boyds wearing a nikon efr and in the back is my 93 with boyds coming and wearing my donor vortex 6-24 while its scope (Primary Arms 4-16) is on its way
Those are some fine looking rifles!
My first post here. I hope to pick mine up later this week. Will use for a target and varmint gun. Eventually changing the stock to a Boyd's. I also run a 10 FCP HS Precision in .308. Love Savage so far. I think it's becoming an addiction. :peace:
How do they shoot, what kind of accuracy you getting?

This gun shop has these prices on a monthly basis and also the whole line of Savage rimfire bolt rifles at great prices.
I have a Vortex 6x18x44 Crossfire II on my 93R17GVL so I would probably stick with the Vortex - they are great scopes for the money.

The 17 is shooting around .75-1.0 at 100 with the boyds stock now on it, the 22 has shot as low as .325 at 50. The 17 got a new scope, a primary arms 6-18. Great guns once broken in , except for the 17 hmr mags.
Now that the A17 has arrived I may go that way.
Are there mags available that hold more than 5 rounds for the 93R17?
Should have Googled first - they're available. :stupid:Quote:

You sure on that price. That is $100 les than the same rifle from Cabelas on sale with a $25 Savage rebate?Quote:

My 93R17 is the cheapest combo. Plastic stock, accutrigger, Sweet 17 scope. I am pleased with the accuracy using Hornaday XTP 20 Gr.
I thought I replied but it is a new post with a picture for accuracy. One reference point.
Fixed it for Ya.....Quote:

I should have said that it is the .22LR version, (not sure if the .17HMR is the same price) but yes, it is also after the $25 rebate. Here is the site if you wish to check it out. Just select "view the flyer' and you will get all the monthly specials. vancesoutdoors.comQuote:

Rimfire magazines generally have to be tuned a little if purchased separately. The one that comes with the rifle is tuned at the factory. basically you just need to tweak the feed lips a little to get the nose of the bullet to sit at the right height.Quote:

I've always made it a practice to buy multiple extra mags when I buy a firearm that uses them. These days, it's gotten a lot more expensive to do this.

I don't know how anyone can recommend a scope without knowing what you are shooting at and at what distance.
OP- Please respond.
Good to know, I just picked up a 93R 17 with the wood stock and heavy barrel in a trade.Quote:
