maddhunter Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I'm in the market for a .17HMR for close range yotes(100-150yrds). I found a costumized Savage with a blued bull barrel for $259. It is a very slick gun with scope mounts on it. Is this gun worth the money?? I need the .17HMR to hunt yotes in our local WMA, they only allow rimfire and shotgun with pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest littlered Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Re: Savage .17HMR with Bull Barrel?????? i have one and i absolutly love it, never shot a yote with it but it really does a job on wood chucks at about 220 yards round here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Re: Savage .17HMR with Bull Barrel?????? I looked up a simuliar gun on the Savage web sight. It sold for $238 on the web sight, then I called Bass Pro and they have it in a synthetic stock for $223. So I think I will offer them $230 for it. The one I am thinking of buying has a better looking stock than this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyderpancake Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Re: Savage .17HMR with Bull Barrel?????? What are the customizations on it? See if it has an aftermarket trigger-that would be really nice. But I think you can get a better deal thru Wal-Mart. When I bought my Marlin 917v for $169, the Savage was running for $175. Check their special order catalog in sporting goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil hunter Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Re: Savage .17HMR with Bull Barrel?????? I got that savage, with the stock barrel for $190 last spring. That was at a big gun store in Kentucky, that generally has the cheapest prices around on guns(other than wal-mart occasionally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
