New Savage 93R17

[ZKend]

Picked up a Savage 17HMR with a heavy barrel, got her for $140. Put on a harris bi-pod and a cheap illuminated 12x i had laying around. Cannot wait to get out and shoot her

[millman]

That should outshoot your Mosins.

Nice Hubble Telescope.

my goal is to shoot clothes pins at 100 yards, so yes indeed the hubble was necessary. A friend of mine has a 20x on his for quite literal pin point accuracy

With that scope you will learn to use a good chin weld on the stock rather than a cheek weld. I have the wood stocked left hand version in both 17 and 22 mag with identical scopes. That way I can use whichever ammo is available.

I also have a wood stocked heavy barrel 93r17. Great, accurate rifle. If I do my part I can get around 0.3" groups at 50yds. It has a 6-24x BSA scope on it and usually use it around 15-18x for target shooting. The power is nice for seeing your shots without a spotting scope, but is really only useful off a bench. Its on medium Weaver Grand Slam rings and is about as low as it can go, can get a decent cheek weld.

The little round impressed me I've got a Marlin 917 and a Cz452 in 17HMR. It took a while to figure out how to get the Cz scope as low as I could, the rear sight is very, very close but actually doesn't touch the scope.

That CZ is really sharp. One of those has been on my wish list for a few years now.

The 17HMR seemed to weather the run on ammo for quite a while so I was able to buy up some boxes here and there. Unfortunately the supply finally dried up locally. Online availability is there but hit or miss.
