Hello, I need a bit of advise & info please. As I am looking at purchasing one of the Savage models mentioned above. My questions are:

* Are these NEW series of Savage HMR rimfires a quality built(any plastic bits or malfunction/warranty issues) accurate rifle.
* Are the weights stated on their website true & correct.
* Would you buy another given the choice, or another brand like: Marlin, Stevens or CZ???

This rifle would mainly be a 'walk around' stick. And at this stage I'm not interested in the heavy bull-barrels, but I do like the look of the BVSS(laminated) , which seems to be in-between in #.

Thanks in advance


PS- Is the Stevens 310 worth a look?

Please feel free to list any other 17HMR brands you recommend. Thanks again.

I've been looking at the exact same gun....asked on here too but couldn't seem to get an answer.....I think the reason being is that it is not high-end enough for this crowd(and I DO NOT mean that in a bad way). It certainly isn't in the league with the match guns mentioned on here but for the money I think it should be a great throw-around gun. I'm gonna get the package in snow camo just because it looks cool and I'll give it to my son in a couple of years. If you wait I'll let you know how it is.

The best I can do is to tell you I own a 93 in 22 mag and a BTVS in .22 LR. No complaints with either rifle. Never weighed either one but they are both pretty accurate.

Thanks for the replies lads. Ended up getting a CZ.
