I have 2 Savage 93R17's...one is the FVSS model, and the other a BTV (with Accu-Trigger).
The FVSS is the workhorse of the two. I've had it for a little over 2 years, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. For a moderate priced 17HMR, it pulls it's weight 'round here. I've had no problems with it, to this day...
I haven't shot the BTV model, yet. I just bought it a couple of weeks ago, and haven't had the chance to dial 'er in yet. I din't really need another 17HMR, but when I saw it at the local gunshop, I just had to have it. It's my first thumbhole stock rifle, and I can't wait to shoot it...
(This is a picture of Savage's 93R17BTVS. They don't show the BTV, but it's the same model, in matte blue)
I paid around $220 for the model FVSS, and $330 for the BTV model.
