Tonight my Savage 93R17 T-R came in and that puppy is now in my hot little hands. WHAT a cool stick! I'm at work where everyone except a secret few of us know that guns WILL hurt ya! Maybe keel ya. ALL BY THEMSELVES. Snuck over to the LGS, rushed through the paperwork, cool guy at the State Police instant check hotline. And as Thoroughgood says in One Burbon, One Scotch and One Beer "...and out the door I went...!" Lee Hooker said it first but you get the idea.

Mo' betta report to come. All I can say is I'm lovin' the stock, the tac-style bolt handle and the overall profile. Works smooth and will only get better. NEED to get the scope in (and on). Went with a Mueller 8-32x44 Target Dot. Scopage due in Wed.

Need to figure out ring heights- gonna use the Weaver stlye bases on the rifle for the time being.

LOTS to look forward to- Spring shooting, Spring hunting, Spring reloading, the .22LR experiment. Hog Hunt in Fla. in May, Volusia County! Yeah! GONNABEAGOODTIME!

More to follow on the new .17HMR.
