Jan Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hi!Just came back from Ellwood Epps, where I picked up a Savage 93F in 22 WMR, and mounted a Bushnell Trophy Red Dot scope.The Bushnell fits great on the bolt action, one of the few Red Dot's that come with scope rings - and they are high enough to work the action without touching the scope.I decided to stick with Savage (good experience so far), and took the 22 WMR over the 17 HMR. That was a last minute decision, they had both calibers in stock, the price is identical.Red Dot - just so much fun to shoot with it. This one is the version where I can switch between 4 different sights.... Take it out the first time tomorrow and will let you know! Man, isn't that great? I am 42 years old, and when I buy a gun, I feel like a 6 years old on christmas morning....... So it's worth every cent!Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yeah Christmas is over..... today on boxing day, I took my new toy out for a spin. Just put the first 50 rounds of CCI ammo through! OK, that thing is serious fun, a good step up from the 22LR, and shooting with that Bushnell Red Dot is awesome!!!50 rounds and not one feeding problem, guess I can stick with that ammo. Just have to zero in the scope, and the squirrels will drop like flies! :-)Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 .22mag is a serious round, yet still fun to shoot. I picked up a Marlin 25MN in .22WMR last winter at a gun show, put a bushnell scope on it but due to (bad) weather have yet to get it to the range.Thanks for the update Jan!

Microgunner Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I know what you mean. I own one .22WMR and it's potent squirrel medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
