ok guys ive decided just to get a 17hmr as shots will be under 100 yards and ill be able to use it more for jacks, crows, squirels, etc.

ive been lookin round on some sites and the most talked about r the marlin 917v and the savage 93r-17 fv...i guess both of these have heavy barrels, they both weigh the same but the marlin has a monte carlo stock which is the only difference i can see...

in canada the marlin is an xtra $50 but i think its worth it for that stock...

so i was just wonderin which one of these guns usually shoots better, more reliable, built better, functions better, and has a good trigger.

thx for the help
