speedytriple Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Just picked up a savage model 93r17 fvxp with scope combo from dicks. Came with a bushnell 3x9x40 scope. Not flat fish or walther fancy but a good base with a bull barrel and accu trigger. Cheap plastic stock will have to do till a better stock is found. Pics later when I get back home. Got a great price on it also with my score card coupon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Sounds like a fun plinker.. I have a 3-9 bushnell on one of my .22's.. Nothing wrong with bushnell at all. They make a good scope at a good price point and have very very good glass for the money. Especially once you move to the new elite series.

Beegreenstrings Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 nice, and nice score with their coupons! I think they funk themselves with the coupons. But oh well works for everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Your scope sucks...buy a better one and donate yours to my 93r17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) Posted them from my phone not to sure on how to make them bigger using it. Have to use the house puter for that. made a little bigger and more fuzzy(cell phone pics) Green yeah it was on sale for $40 off then they knocked off 9 bucks for score card points then I had a $10 off coupon for it. With all that I got it for $219. Edited March 6, 2011 by speedytriple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 nice, and nice score with their coupons! I think they funk themselves with the coupons. But oh well works for everyone else.They make up for it by robbing everybody else. Their gun prices are high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 They were way cheaper without the coupons then hander. And were $10 lower then fin was with out them. With the coupons they were the lowest I found period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I wont even buy ammo from gander. They are the worst price around up here. They were 120 higher then dicks on this gun and theirs had only a 4x32 scope on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I dont blame you. There isnt much I would buy from Gouger Mountain either...although they did have the best price on my .22 at the time. It was on sale.Nice rifle. That would be a fine whistle pig popper.

speedytriple Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 So I made it to the indoor range this afternoon with the new 17. Took a few shots to get the sight zeroed. Once I got it almost zeroed(was using my bipod) I started getting nice groups of three. Very easy to shoot three shot cloverleaf groups. Action seems nice and smooth as does the accu trigger. Only gripe was the mag is a little tricky to put into the gun there is a metal tab that it slides on that took some getting use to. Over all real happy with the rifle. Was shooting cci gamepoints.
