Savage 93R17 Overview |
||
2007’s Rimfire Rifle of the Year, is still in strong demand and still getting the job done. I have owned a .17 Remington for several years, and certainly before the .17HMR hit the market. I’ll just admit here and now that I was skeptical, to say the least, when the .17HMR first hit the shelf. Trying to imagine all of the great things that I had heard about this necked down .22 Magnum round, was not hardly feasible. Finally, curiosity got the best of me, and I reluctantly trudged down to my local gun store and picked one up. To show my total ignorance, I thought that if I did not buy the most expensive model, that it probably wouldn’t stand a chance to shoot anything close to what had been heralded to me by my aficionado friends. I purchased a good Nikon scope and headed out to the range. What took place over the next 2 hours, was the things that dreams are made of. That Savage 93R17 BTVFBSS was everything that I had heard it was, grouping consistent “dime size groups” at 100 yards. Upon finishing, I saw a blackbird in a tree at a considerable distance (laser rangefinder later showed 227 yards). “Do you reckon that I can get close enough to scare him?” I said to my old hunting compadre’? With my Caldwell Lead Sled already put away, I steadied on the truck and squeezed the trigger. Through the scope, all I could see were feathers, as my friend exclaimed something that I cannot now repeat. I was a believer for life. |
