G'day guys, this is only my second or 3rd post here but I had to post, I'm really impressed with this little rifle!
I bought a Savage 93 in 17hmr last week and took it to the range for the first time today. I bought a Boyds Tacticool stock a while back so I fitted that to it and made up a trigger guard/magazine plate for it yesterday as the ones I ordered didn't arrive in time. I think it looks a bit "tacticooler" with this one anyway. I've fitted a 3-9x40 VX1 scope to it which I thought would be plenty but it takes a bit of squinting to spot those little holes in a target at 100m!
It's a very accurate little rifle, it definitely shoots better than I can. I'm going to bed the action in the next week or so just to see what difference that makes.
Here's a few photos:
50m target this morning, 17gr Hornady V-Max:
100m target this morning (lower row were "fast plinking")
This is my new favourite little gun!
Cheers,
Greg
