Great forum. I have been lurking around here for a few days now finding info on a Savage Model 10 I just purchased.

Anyways I'm going to try to upload a pic of a 17HMR I have.

Welcome. Nice rifle. I love those thumbhole stocks. I have a Rossi single shot 17HMR with a Burris FFII scope that I love to shoot. When Im shooting off the bench I would much rather have a bolt action like yours.

Lots of great people and knowledge here. Not many questions that cant be answered by someone here.

Welcome aboard. I just purchased my first Savage rifle (Model 112/.22-250) this past friday. Hoping to take it to the range this coming saturday morning if the weather is good. Nice rig by the way.

Welcome! Nice looking setup ya got there

I bought it because I thought it was cheap to shoot. lol This average price is about 25 cents a round. I also makes for great training, this gun is capable of sub MOA. Which I have never really measured but I have gotten close on many occasions. I have become impatient with the gun though, my groups are all over the place now. The rifle is a savage 93, it has a "garbage" BSA scope on it, 3-9x40 mil dot. It performs very well, only lost zero once for god knows why. My girlfriend has dropped it on the scope since then and it held zero. I am sure if I put a more powerful magnification scope on it I can be sub MOA all day long, but i like a little challenge.

Welcome to TFL, and that is one nice rifle. A guy at work has a rifle similar to that one and he really likes it.
