what's a good little bolt action 22/22mag/17hmr?

Those actually come standard on the rifles. They are pretty nice. The ones on the TR models have been prone to breaking through the grip area, but the thumbholes are nice, IMO.

You happen to have any other postings with complaints of the TR stocks? I've only read one account of a TR stock being cracked, I'd like to know if it's a big problem before I put money into one. http://www.thehighroad.org/archive/i.../t-579146.html

It was relatively common (more than a dozen different guns that I read about) a year or two ago when the model was first introduced. I would hope that Boyd's has fixed whatever the issue was.

There were many more, but that's my 30 second google-stravaganza.

Damn that sucks, half of those posts aren't that old.

If you're not completely addicted to that look, you can buy the normal .17 HMR BV with a cheap scope for $289 at Cabelas almost every other week.

For whatever reason, either the stainless barrel guns tend to shoot a little better, or better shooters tend to buy the stainless guns. No idea on that one. (And buy a little better, I mean VERY little)

how about you guys finding me a cheap bolt action instead of whatever it is you are talking about

Read my last post and quit being cheap. A decent gun holds its value, so it's not like you're losing anything.

I guess since this thread derailed and we are all showing off our Savages, here is my MKII TR .22.

[03trubluGT]

Have you used these? I'm just leery of aftermarket magazines.

Its a bolt action. It should be fine.

I have a Marlin 917. It's a nice gun.

I am Jacks complete lack of surprise.

LMAO!

As nice as that Savage is I'm guessing it's fairly expensive. What's the retail on it? And would you rather have that or a suped up 10/22?

You can buy a bull barrel savage as cheap as $289, or as much as $500 depending on what stock/options you want.

If all out accuracy is the goal, you can spend $1000 on a 10/22 and possibly outshoot a stock $300 savage.

The Savages are available in .22 mag and .17HMR in addition to .22lr, so if you plan on hunting small game with it, its far better than a .22 LR. If you want a semi auto for plinktastic fun, obviously the bolt gun doesn't fit the bill.

You might think so but I have actually had a problem before with a factory mag in a bolt action!

Walmart used to sell a cheaper version of the Savage model 93 bolt action. I picked one up in .17 HMR a few years ago for $100. It doesn't have the accutrigger, bull barrel, or a fancy stock. Walmart or another retailer might still sell a plain jane version for cheap.

The accutrigger and the nicer stocks are worth the extra money!

Academy sells the Savage 93F, which is your base model .22 WMR for $200. It's blued/synthetic and has the accutrigger.
