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.
I love the look of these bad boys! I want one but I'm a southpaw and they don't come in that flavor. Today the local gun shop has them for $199! If push comes to shove, I may just have to overlook the bolt being on the wrong side and snatch up a couple at that price. 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?
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

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.

I thought I replied but it is a new post with a picture for accuracy. One reference point.

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

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.

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.
