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

Heres 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.
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.
posted a thread about one in 22hmr the other day. accurate as heck magazines suck. I tried some of my 93-17 mags in it today and they work fine. I called Savage and she is sending me a new mag
for mine

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

makes sense. Cabelas is ALWAYS a lot more expensive than any of my other local shops. I doubt I would ever buy a gun there. Ammo is also usually slightly more there. Accessories are sometimes cheap there, and it's fun to look around, but overall not such a bargain...
My 93R17 is the cheapest combo. Plastic stock, accutrigger, Sweet 17 scope. I am pleased with the accuracy using Hornaday XTP 20 Gr.

Thanks. I'll figure it out eventually.

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.com

Hey guys...quickly sniffing around here and can't find a post or two regarding savage mags. I bought 10 of the 5 rounders (90001)...not a freaking 1 of them works!!! GRRR...any hacks to get them to work?
Ive got a 93r17 w/a 3x9 bushy on it in a boyd ss evolution stock. Quarter size groups @ 100 yds,5.5 low @ 200. Popped a chuck at 120 through the ear,exactly where I was aiming. Hpoe this helps.....buy one.
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.

I have the factory installed mag and bought two extra 5 round mags and one ten round mag and they all work perfectly. I haven't had to do any adjusting and I rotate them so that they all get the same amount of usage. My only problem with them is their price tag!
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.
