4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Im really leaning towards a savage because of the trigger. It probably will come down to which is either in stock or which I can get the better deal with (Cost plus 5% for me :}) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I would do the savage with either the .17 or the .22 great gun for the money. The range on a 17 is good for about 200-300 yrds. They don't even drop till after a 100 yards like a laser beam from 25-150 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I was hitting golf balls anywhere from 25-100 with out touching my scope on my last range trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
