Did the same thing myself about 4 months ago, I picked a Savage 93R17 BV with the Wood laminate stock from Palmetto State Armory. The original goal was to use this rifle as a trainer gun to practice positional shooting and marksmanship fundamentals which I do, but it has ended up being a real pleasure to shoot, is very accurate and ammo is not to expensive either. So now I am planning on taking it out on some rabbit/squirrel hunts here in Kentucky. Hell, maybe I will knab a coyote!!
The 17 Hornet was on the list as well, but the 93 was just to good of deal to pass up at the holidays. Now I hear the 17 Hornet in Walking Varmiter comes with a $50.00 rebate so it may be worth it if you can find one on clearance.
