I went to purchase a savage .17hmr or .223 and left with this. It's extremely outside of my nature to buy something without hours of research so when I got home and started reading up on it I was immediately worried based on multiple reviews. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but hopefully I got a good one. It's got a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 BDC scope on it with medium rings. Prior to purchasing the scope I had scoured the internet for others who had put this scope on this gun and what rings were used but couldn't ever find anything. Scope was purchased from Natchez for $199 which seemed like a good deal. I am very pleased with the clearances of both the bolt handle from the scope and the scope from the barrel. Hope this helps whoever is interested. [IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
