Big R in Colville has ammo. Maybe 10 boxes or so. No gun though.

well, i dont like the gun.  seems that all the new stuff ive bought this year just sucks.  need to stick with tried and true.  anybody else have a problem with their empty shells wanting to stay in the barrel?  and speaking of barrel, how do you get it off the stock?

anyway im going to send the gun back to get the ejection problem fixed.  once thats good im selling it.  as for ammo, i have 7 boxes of 25gr and 5 boxes of 20 grain.  ( shot maybe 6 rounds of the 25 grain tho ) that ill sell the whole mess of for $150 if anybody wants it, i can meet them in colville or kettle falls.  if ya want it just pm me

I talked to a guy at the range who bought one, shot it a few times, and couldn't sell it fast enough....  :dunno:
He likes his .17 Hornet, though.

There's a '59 Edsel advertised for sale in the Nickel paper.  I think it's the one that's garaged across the street from me--needs a lot of TLC.  Sad thing is, I remember when they were new!  :chuckle:  :chuckle:

Depends a lot on which model Savage and what you are going to trade.  I bought one two years ago for $160 (used but in VERY good shape), from a member of the PM forum.  It's a good shooter after I put a decent trigger, (Rifle Basix) in it and ran a couple hundred rounds down the pipe. 

If I don't have too much coffee in me, and have a calm day, five shots at 100yds will have two or three touching with Hornady 17gr V-Max.  A dime will cover all five holes completely.  Winchester ammo will shoot around 1 1/4" groups.  It won't shoot the Remingtons under 2" ever.  Mine is  VERY ammo sensitive.

Great Sage Rat gun!

I want one of these 17WSM's, but would like to hear a few real good first hand experience with them before I pull the trigger. 

Guess I'll just buy ammo for now.

I have one of those too. Good rock chuck killer. I paid $ 225 new for mine about 9 years ago when they first came out and you couldn't find any. ( I think that's when they came out ). Bull barrel too.

I have one and really like it so far. I haven't shot anything with it yet. The gun looks cheap, but shoots nice and flat and fast. I've amassed 850 rounds of ammo, so I'm just waiting for winter to put it to the test.
