Shot groups from the new 93R17
« on: March 17, 2006, 01:41:19 PM »
Got to shoot the new Savage 93R17 today. Wind was a little high, but this is a good day for me. You will notice each group has a flyer from it being the first shot from a clean barrel. The rest came together pretty good. First time using the Accutrigger. It rocks!
1# Top right shot is the flyer

2# Bottom shot is the flyer. This is my best group of the session.

This is very good when you consider that a barrel will "smooth out" some after a couple hundred rounds go through it. Sometimes the need for a fouling shot can go away too, but if not it is not a big deal.
I may have to try one of these, thanks for the info!

The suggested retail price for this gun off the Savage website is $225.00. Ipicked it up at my local gun shop for $190.00. The Tasco Target/Varmit scope held zero through all settings as well. I am very pleased.  They are a blast to shoot.

As you get more used to it, most of your groups will look like the bottom one..
