Anybody else have a Savage B17? 17HMR Bolt Action

I bought a Savage B17 a week ago and have been quite pleased with it. I added the recommended Bushnell and am getting it sighted in. Anybody else have experience with this gun? I searched and didn't see other discussions.

I have two. One (B17F) was just recently replaced by Savage for throwing the first cold shot 3 MOA low. The replacement is still nothing great.
The other one is a special edition B17FVSS and it's back at Savage because the bolt cocking pin is deforming, it misfires and accuracy has never been better than 2 MOA. I hope yours are better than mine. I realize that this is an old post but I answered to inform anyone that may Google the Rifle and is considering buying one.
