I have decided that I NEED a 17H2! I know many folks think that it's a solution to a non-existent problem but I really like the 17's. I want a bolt gun. I think I have it narrowed down to a Savage Mark II - BVSS (Laminate Stock - SS) or a Marlin 917M2S (same Laminate Stock - SS configuration). I am familiar with the Marlins as I have a few of them already, 17VS, 883SS, 70PSS, 60 (all pre-T-900 trigger versions). I technically have two Savages but they are Mark I Youth single shots that are both still NIB that I'm saving for my kids as their first rifles. I've never shot a Savage rimfire. Seeing as how they are very similar in configuration I can't decide which one that I want. Any suggestions and or real-life experiences would be appreciated in helping me decide. Thanks, SBF |
Yea, I'm aware of the ammo prices. It is less expensive than 17 HMR. I shoot a lot of specialty .22 ammo as well so paying more for a box is something I'm used to. |
Nice deal. Believe it or not, I got my Savage 17 used for $100 with a scope. It's definitely a shooter even in my hands. I was going to buy the more expensive CZ rifle, which is sweet gun in its own right. One of my uncles loves the 17 HMR but switched the Mach 2 since he's on a pretty tight budget. I think the M2 is pretty reasonable all things considered. |
