Bought a Savage 93R17 and sighted it in at 100 yards on Friday. Using CCI hollow points, I got it to shoot 3/4 inch groups at this distance, using a 4X12, 40 mm AO scope. Definitely pleased with this little pellet. Stories about its accuracy are not unfounded! I suspect, with a higher power scope, I might be able to tighten the groups a little more. But for what I will be using it for, a 4X12 will do just fine.

I've heard rumors that Federal is coming out with a 20 gr. bullet. Might be a little better on the larger varmints, such as ground hogs. Anyway, I hope to get out and try it on some squirrels in the next week or so. Our season lasts until Feb. 28, so I ought to get some "quality time" with the Savage!
