I just picked up a Savage 17HMR with the synthetic stock and heavy blue barrel. It came with a Simmons 8 point scope 3x9 40, one 50 round box of ammo, and a silicone gun sock for $229 at a Gander Mountain store.

I wasn't to worried about the scope just for the simple fact I'm not worried about it being great during dawn/dusk situations because I don't plan on using this gun that early or late in the day and figure it should work o'kay for what I need.

If I had the money I woud've bought the Marlin 17VS for $299 at Gander and the Bushnell Elite 3x9 40 scope for $151 at Wally World.
