I have a savage 17 HMR, LOVE it. For fun at the range, we pick up empty shell casings and stick them neck first into the holes in the plywood and shoot the ends out. Mine is the heavy BBL with cabela's scope that came on it. Very accurate. Love the accu-trigger. I also have a singe shot old school savage model 121 22LR. My great grand father bought new a long time ago. I can still chew the center dot out of any target one small hole at a time. It wears a peep sight that I retro-fitted from a 1903A3.
