looking to buy a 17hmr bolt action rifle i kinda like the cz455 but the savage 93 isnt bad either any suggestions. also rifle package cabelas has with the 93 and pine ridge scope is this good.? are pine ridge scopes any good?
thanks looking to buy soon |
Also have the Savage 93, left-handed, with a Bushnell Trophy 3-9X32. It's a "one hole gun" at 50. 
eta: Bought it cheap, as it was a "mis-order" by a friend who had a FFL. He ordered a LH model by mistake. I was there at his shop when the gun was delivered. He was busy working on a customer's gun, asked me to unbox it and check it out. When I did I discovered it was LH (I'm LH), he had wanted a RH for a customer's order. Rather than send it back and pay double shipping, he sold it to me for cost. IIRC it was about $179.

| I have the Marlin 917VT with a Nikon Prostaff 3-9X40 mounted on it, got it from a co-worker for a good deal (he won it and didn't want it). That thing is also a tack driver. I was looking to get the Savage until this came available...definitely not regretting the purchase |

Aquired taste I'm guessing, but seems the modern equivalent of trigger shoes to me. |

I've got an early model, and it's not the adjustable "accu-trigger".... don't know if that's good or bad. Feels just like my 1960's vintage Savage 110 (.30-06). I haven't shot it too much, maybe 150 rounds. What I remember most about it was 2nd trip to the range with it. Weekday morning, and I was there alone. Someone prior to me had been blasting a watermelon on the 100 yd range, probably day before. The crows were having a feast. 1 shot, 1 dead crow. I was just about to walk down and hang a target, when they came back. Another shot, another dead crow. This time I just waited. Sure enough, few minutes later, some crows came back. I guess that watermelon was just too tempting. I killed 5 with 5 shots in about 20 mins, before they got the message.
