Madhouse Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 I just picked up a Savage Model 93 in .17HMR from GunBroker.I've shot my buddy's left-hand 93 a few times and really liked it. I also just ordered a BSA Sweet 17 scope from MidwayUSA and a box of 500 rounds from AmmunitionToGo.com. :sniper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Don't own a .17HMR but I do own (3) .17HM2's. A CZ 452 Varmint, a Volquartsen Standard and an Anschutz 1702. Them little 17's are fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'm putting the scope on now... :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madhouse Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Damn scope rings were too short (mediums). The scope bell hit the barrel. A buddy is bringing me some tall mounts, we're supposed to take this thing out to zero it in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 looks nice.... Its funny even with the ammo shortage the 17 is always on the shelf locally here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Man, there was a Camp Perry small bore clinic going on at the range, got up at 7:00 to go shooting before class today and couldn't even zero my shiny new rifle. >:( >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'm sure the gun is capable of way better than I can shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmurff Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I'd say that is pretty good for an out of the box rifle, scope and mounts.What distance and other info on your first day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I put that target out at 75 yards with the turkeys on the silhouette range. I used a bag to rest on, but did much better when I used my buddy's full-rest setup for a couple of shots. I need to get a better setup now with a rifle that freaking accurate.I was shooting Hornady 17gr V-Max ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 I put 5 shots inside an inch yesterday at 100 yards (it's amazing what proper rest bags will do for you). This is a seriously accurate little varmint gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Those .17's are incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 And they're fun for pest control because you can see the impact through the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
