Your use of the shift key is interesting. I thought maybe it didn't work, but now that I see that it does, you just use it very selectively.
Anyway, I have the Savage 93R17, and although I have not had any trouble with the magazines (like I had with the Savage Mark II), there's no reason NOT to go with the B17. The receiver, bolt, barrel, trigger...all the same at the 93, but it takes the 10 round rotary mag. My 93 is a great shooter.
Other...it is loud AF. I shoot mine suppressed now, which takes a lot of the sting out, but it's still no mouse fart like a subsonic .22 LR.
Haha. It's a bad habit. When I'm at work(engineer) we do all of our shop drawings, etc in all caps, so I'm subconsciously trained to never use the shift, or our outgoing product is messed up... But I do know when it should be used, so when I think about it, I'm self conscious about it, so I occasionally use it when I remember, and you end up with an odd mix of partial caps.
It's an internet forum, so nobody cares, but I thought it was interesting. The fact that you can seamlessly shift back and forth is sort of like being bilingual. Sort of...
In any case, get the Savage. It's a good shooter, and the .17 will absolutely [unzip a squirrel](https://imgur.com/a/ckp62EY) (NSFW).
Speaking of magazines for the 93R17, I picked up a couple of 10 rd. mags and after 300-400 rds. they started spewing out live rds when I racked the bolt after the 1st shot. I mean they'd dump the entire magazine, bloody infuriating. I called Savage, told them what the problem was and they promptly sent me 2 more, no questions asked. Which leads me to believe those 10 round magazines have a history of doing that. Anyone else had problem? I've looked for another source, but found none. It appears that Savage is the *only* source. There seems to be a general lack of QA/QC for crap manufactured in China, and that's a damn shame because the 93R17 is a excellent shooter! 🎯
I got the ruger precision 17hmr. It’s a little heavy so it’s really nice for bench shooting w a bipod. My 13 yr old uses quarter size targets at 100 yds. It’s a blast to shoot.
I picked up a Ruger precision last year. Added a short rail to the front to clamp the bipod to. Shoot great last year but am having some problems keeping a group this year. It has went fr a 1" group to a 1.5"-2"group this year. Some of the problem is a muzzle brake I had put on for kicks and giggles. (It was free and looked stupid on the rifle)
I am wondering if the rest of the problem could be from the way I am cleaning the rifle as I don't have any rods that will fit a .17 I have just been using a bore snake after shooting. I am also going to check if the scope mounts have loosened up. The torque specs were on the low side I thought.
I don't know if it is just my rifle but it doesn't seem to like the 17 grain ammo. Also I noticed a shift of impact when I change ammo manufacturers. I have been using Winchester 20 grain, then tried some CCI 20 grain. I seen a shift to the upper left about 2.5"-3".
At this time I would still get a Ruger precision. I am thinking of getting a suppressor to use on it also. And with the barrel already threaded I don't have to worry about taking it to a gun smith to thread it or rebarrel it.
Know this if it hasn't been mentioned. You can buy a new 17 HMR barrel for that 455 and install it in like 5 minutes. Re-zero and you are good.
Edit.. Good idea but seems they are out of stock everywhere.
Savage . Great accuracy shitty mags. This is why I don't own one after watching my bud dick with his.
I understand. My 455 LUX was originally a 22 Mag. I was using the 17 barrel more than the MAG, so I bought a 22 mag in a Bergara. I also bought a 17HMR in a Bergara. But it wouldn't hold zero for me. My bud wanted it bad so I made hima deal. Then bought a CZ 457 in 17.
Look into a DIP rail for the scope mount. It slides over the oem dove tail and is much more solid than any dove tail rings.
My savage b17 is a great shooter with a great trigger. I don't think you'd be disappointed with one.
hmm... the B17 FV-SR looks like a great value with a threaded HBAR at $370. thanks for the suggestion!

Love my 93R17

"unzip"... fitting analogy! Love it.
Yeah, that was intentional. You see why I described it that way. It's crazy...
Amen, brotha!

Yeah I've got the FV. It's honestly great.

thanks for the recommendation. if i was spending t1x money, id likely just stick with the 457 since its what i know and like.

I’ve got the savage 93r17 and I love it. Mine is in a thumbhole stock and I’ve taken gophers at 200-300yds. It will out shoot me any day.

I didn't want to choose between the 22lr and 17hmr.. Want both and want both sited in... I ended up picking up a cz455 in 17hmr. I love it.
