Went to the gun store today

I went to pick up some alumina covers for the lupy on my .204 and some how this came home with me as well:



Savage .17 HMR

I'll bet it's a shooter. Kind of a 'eye of the beholder' thing, tho......

You got that right. However I must say its just my crappy cell phone picture if it that makes it look blue. The stock is really a red colour. The stock just feels right when you hold it to your shoulder.

Probably the easiest rim fire I have ever sighted in. One adjustment and it was perfect. Probably the worlds cheapest scope on it, but the price was right. And you know what? It puts the bullets where I aim. 5 unlucky gophers were curious after I sighted it in. didn't bring a camera though.

you missed the penny. Do they do returns?

I picked one of those up for my son for Christmas this past year.

Beatiful rifle. I have the version without the thumbhole stock and I love it. Real good shooter, it loves the 17 gr V-max.

Beautiful day here today, even if there is still snow on the ground. Took the .17 out this morning. I'm pretty impressed with it so far. I don't think the gophers like it much.



They don't fly like when hit with the 204, but it's still fun.

Even the snakes are grateful for warm weather.

Jim did you put a bipod or sling on yours? I think I'm going to at least put a sling on mine. I built some shooting sticks for it this morning, and tried them out this afternoon. Varmint Al's design. They worked awesome.

146 yard head shot with a crosswind using a rimfire. Did I say before I'm impressed!

The 17 HMR is powerful medicine for gophers! It's always the workhorse on my trips. You don't get much hang time, but you don't get many crawl-offs either.
