Well i purchased the A17 a few weeks ago, put a Vortex Crossfire 2, 3-9x40 on it, cleaned it up and have put over a 100 rounds threw it. I had one mis-fire, but no jams or any other problems. The guy i bought it from said they did have to send 1 or 2 back due to jamming issues, but Savage fixed the problems. I did by the recommended A17 ammo for it and was told to keep the gun clean. I sure do love this little gun, so far so good.
