Title: Great Day At The Range
Post by: ILIKEHEVI-13 on October 16, 2014, 09:03:28 PM
I had a blast today at the range.  I shot for almost 4hrs.  Here was the best groups of the day.  That new Savage 93R17 17HMR is a shooter.  The group on the bottom left is .184ctc.

Thanks.  Those other 2 groups with the Savage were in the upper .3's which is still pretty good.  I only shot one box of shells with the 17HMR.  That's the first time I shot it at 50yds.  Next time I'll try it at 100yds.

Here's a better photo of that 5 shot group I shot with my Savage 93R17 17HMR.  This will better put in perspective of how good it really is.  The hearing aid battery will cover the group.

Very nice!  What will you be primarily hunting with it?

I basically just bought it to shoot since they are known for their accuracy meaning both the gun and the cartridge.

Thanks.

I have that same rifle , It is a shooter also, I keep the squirrels out of the back yard  and mama's bi4d feederat about 5o to 100 yards with regularity with it. With a good scope it will sprite you how accurate that gun is.
