Re: Savage .17
I have one, its a really nice rifle for the price. Pros- price, near benchrest type accuracy isnt unheard of, very consistent(doesnt get very hot so it doesnt thrown shots). Trajectory- basically a lazer out to 150-160 yards. Much easier to shoot well past 100 yards than other rimfire calibers. Zero recoil.
Cons- ammo is expensive, seriously i can reload 223 for around the same cost. Bullet selection- most of the bullet choices are way to destructive on small game IF you plan on eating it. They are known to be finnicky with ammo, luckily mine shoots them all well but thats a rarity from what I hear. Its very loud, much louder than a 22lr with sv ammo, nearly but not quite as loud as my 223. Lack of ammo choices- only about 5-6 total ammo choices are availible.
