Well guys, gals, fellow shooters rim fire and center.
I don't know what will happen with the Savage B.Mag but I am curious who all has received them. I am seeing the sales dwindling on GunBroker and over all it seems like there has not been that many reported sold.
So I thought I would make a thread for those willing to say they bought one. I know of 3 in the county in which I live here in Pennsylvania and I know of 10 that arrived for sale in Elk County PA.
I have touched 3, the 1st one in the county that went to the local Savage rep, mine and one in Elk County Ammo & Arms.
So here goes:
B.Mag 1: Serial # H978177 (received in shop on June 4, '13) went to the local Sales rep. Jeff Quin from GunBlast received H978163 and he posted his review on July 24, 2013 http://www.gunblast.com/Savage-Bmag.htm
My rifle the B.Mine is J029295 purchased on July 3, 2013
So hopefully the new B.Mag owners will join in.
Thanks

Purchased my B.Mag here in Albuquerque 7/19/13 #J026426. I know the same dealer had one prior to mine. Can't find ammo ANYWHERE!
Mark
I would but it will be Christmas time before we see one this side of the pond and you'll have moved on by then. I am salivating here. Can't you blokes spare a few and send over soon???
Tack
Moved on by then? To what?

Maybe, we'll see. 1st the 17WSM needs to be an all out hit.

Savage B-mag purchased 7/8/2013 serial# J037816. I love the rifle so far.
Welcome to Savage Shooters, B.Mag ownership and the registry and thank you.
What ammo have you used and what works best for you?

I've tried both the 20 and the 25 grain ammo, and found that the 25 grainers grouped quite better. Here is a picture of the 25 grain group.
This is the picture of the 20 grain flavor which I am currently setup for to snipe some crows.
I was surprised actually how differently the two shot. What have you found works best for you?
25 grain works best for me. Your 25gr group looks similar to mine. I am going to start weighing ammo and grouping the weights together within boxes. I really think there is a huge varience occuring because I can feel recoil difference at times. I need to shoot some across my Chrony.I've tried both the 20 and the 25 grain ammo, and found that the 25 grainers grouped quite better. Here is a picture of the 25 grain group.

Keep us posted on what you find out with the velocity variances. I don't own a chronograph but I'm interested in what kind of numbers you come up with for the two loads.
I would already be doing it if I could find the 9v batteries I bought UGH!

Savage B.Mag .17 WSM - Purchased July 22, 2013 at Gander Mountain in Valdosta, Georgia. Funny thing is it was marked and inventoried as a Savage 93R17. So I don't think too many employees knew it was there. Spotted it and walked out the door the same day with it! lol
Serial# J030951
Cheers,

Zinzrah,
What rifle did they charge you for, was it for a 93R17 or a Savage B Mag. I got mine on June 22,2013 in a small gun store in Turlock Ca for $299.
Frank
They charged me for a bmag and corrected the paperwork. I had to initial the changes as well.
I was recently at that GM store. In fact I'm going back tomorrow or Sunday. They have a good deal on some small 'stuff' I need. Last time I was there, they actually (gasp!!) had .22lr ammo with more on the way.
I don't need any, just like to watch the butt holes hoarding......

Zinzrah, hi. I was at the GM store in Valdosta today. When we walked in (Lovely store, btw), they has flyers up announcing an "ammo stock up sale"...Was this my lucky day? Pretty much!
My LGS now carries 17 WSM all the time, but 20 gr bullets are rare. Have enough 25s......
Anyway at GM, they had MORE 22 LR ammo than I had ever seen, anywhere, ever. When I say 'tons', I mean it. Out on the floor by the pallet load. All kinds, too. 50 rd boxes were $2.95 and 325 'bulk' was $17. Gee, almost back to the OLD WalMart prices.
Of course there was a limit as to how many you could buy......
The rest of the calibers on the shelfs were fully loaded with every brand, bullet, etc available.
The ONLY caliber they seemed to be out of? Why, 17 WSM of course, but I went there for other things, not 17 WSM.......
FWIW

NYyotekiller - please post the distance you were shooting at for the groups you posted with the 20g and 25g ammo for reference. Was it 100yds?
My B-mag came from Borders in Ashland, KY s/n J064603. I sourced a new BSA 6-24x mil-dot scope for the optics. Am pleased with both so far. I was given two boxes of 25g BT's with the gun but that was the last ammo my store had and I would love to find some more to do further bench shooting. So far I shot 37 rds sighting in the scope and doing some initial groups and then shot four rds hunting. I need about 200rds for a "Fruit Shoot". I have looked all over KY and OH for ammo without any luck.

I have the same scope on my 22 Hornet and I was actually going to install that on the B.Mag until I bought the B.Mags 2ns scope.
I ballistic tested a can of cranberry sauce (gel) at 50 yards. The results were amazing.
