My only non-Savage rifle is in .17 HMR; it was supposed to come with a scope but someone (apparently an employee) liberated it from the box. The asst. manager gave me $50.00 off if I took the rifle sans scope, which I did. On the way home stopped at a local gun shop and bought a used BSA Sweet 17. I know there are a lot of complaints about them but mine was fine. Actually better than fine. It was clear and held zero. I got rid of it only because a buddy was putting together a single shot .17 HMR for his daughter and he bought my BSA. I like my Nikons but I firmly believe you can get good in ay brand and likewise bad inn any brand.
That .17 HMR that I have sports a 3-9x40 Bushnell Trophy with the BDC reticle. It is clear and I have picked off Starlings and squirrels at up to 65 yards with it. With Winchester 17 grain ammo. it'll shoot a ragged hole at 100 yards. AND HEY it's got the "scarey" Skull & Antlers logo on the objective bell, which is what makes it sub-moa
Best wishes with the new addition! Please let us know what you add onn, change, modify etc!
