I have a Savage 17 hmr with the standard wood stock, not the thumbhole. I have a Leupold vx-I and a bipod on it. I can easily shoot 3/4" groups at 100 yards with it.

It is a fun little rifle.

17HMR is a rimfire.

I have the Savage thumb hole heavy barrel stainless and love it. It is a squirrel killin machine..

The 96250 is Savage's SKU number for their model 93R17BTV. That looks like a really nice rifle, you should be pleased with that.

I have a Savage 93R17BTV. Sweet shooter!!! I have 3 other Savage 17HMR models, but this thumbhole is my favorite. I pick up my 17HMR ammo at gun shows in Phoenix and Mesa AZ for $8 per 100. Well worth the fun IMHO!

I bought a marlin 917v 17hmr. the gun is a little heavy, but accurate, you can easy get more accurate than what you are now, just try differnt ammo. like mine it likes the cci 20grain hollow point, can cover a ten shot group with a dime. in a rest of course, but that acuracy is very obtainable with these rifles. does not matter what brand they are all super accurate, and they are a ball to shoot, and rather cheap. so I hope you all kinds of fun in the future with it, and happy hunting.

Mine likes the CCI 20grain hollow point. on a rest I can cover a ten shot group at a hundred yards with a dime, yours will do the same, just get used to it and have fun.

I had a Savage 93R17 until about a month ago. When I bought it a couple of years ago, I shot it quite a bit, but then it was put in the safe and just never shot any more. I sold it to a buddy who enjoys shooting it. The $11 or $12 50 round boxes of ammo kind of made me put it in the safe.

But you can buy it now!
