Savage Arms 17Hmr

[doie1 22]

I'm receiving my FAC in a couple of weeks and looking to get a savage 17 hmr, are these any good, is there anything I should look out for or is there any common problems with these rifles?

 

Also what would be the best round for rabbits and possible fox if close enough?

 

Any tips are appreciated.

 

Cheers.

magazine release is a bit odd but apart from that the best rimfire out there.you will not be disappointed.

Savage is a good all round rim fire. I would look at CZ they are good to I have a CZ 452 American in 17 HMR .The scope is a Carl Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44 MC. The CZ is better than the Savage out off the box. I can get on the Bulls eye every shot. I use my rim fire for vermin and for target shooting. If I were you I would try go to a shooting range and get to try some out if you could are know someone who has used it before I would buy a rim fire. You could end up not liking the Savage. This is just my thoughts. I have used my CZ a lot out off all the fire arms I have .I always go for the CZ. Hope this helps you out. Let us know what you get.
