Bought new toy today.....

[Jan]

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!

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! :-)

.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!

I know what you mean. I own one .22WMR and it's potent squirrel medicine.
