Thanks, Guys

A few shots at 25 yds to fine tune the boresighting and went straight on to 100 yds.
A few clicks up and I was on!

Hope you have luck with the second purchase/trade of your 17HMR Savage. It really bites when you buy a gun and it won't shoot for beans.
I've had a few of them and dumped them off ASAP.
My rule is: 1" or less at 100 yds with handloads and proper trigger.
1 1/2" with factory ammo.
If I can't get that, off she goes to the consignment rack!
