New member, new gun!
Savage 93R17 FVXP
Synthetic stock
21" heavy barrel
3-9x40 Simmons scope

And the first day shooting (and pretty much the first for me in general) and getting it sighted in;

So far I've been quite happy with it, can't wait to get out ans shoot some more!

sweet rifle there.
the savages are super accurate...
in fact, accurate to the point where its almost boring since you keep making hit after hit!

I have one of those with the thumbhold stock. Assuming perfect conditions, you will be double punching holes at 100yards. I look at that as pretty good for that small of a caliber.

The second time I ever shot a rifle in my lifetime I was getting field mouse size groups with 30 - 50 shots using my savage arms .17 hmr.

The only problem I ever had with it was with the claw thing not grabbing the spent shells so I would either have to keep cycling the action or use a cleaning rod to pop the shell out of the chamber.

Perfect first rifle! I own a few guns, but my Savage 17 HMR is by far my favorite rifle. It's so fun, accurate and easy to shoot. Get a bore snake, opticsplanet usually has free shipping and great prices. The only thing with 17 is it can be a dirty round.

Great choice!! Keep shooting
