Post by: Buckmark on February 08, 2010, 10:56:23 AM: I will call them, thinking maybe a savage as they can come with the thumbhole stock?
Title: Re: Looking for a .17HMR
Post by: jackelope on February 08, 2010, 10:57:01 AM: those savages are tack drivers. they will have the accutrigger too if the vintage is right.

Post by: huntnphool on February 08, 2010, 11:03:52 AM: Actually it looked a little like this, don't remember if it had a scope.

Post by: C-Money on February 08, 2010, 11:12:44 AM: The Savage would be a great choice! I have a Marlin and really like it! Of course the Marlin dose not have a thumbhole stock. PS, I fixed my type-o. :chuckle:

Post by: Buckmark on February 08, 2010, 11:21:48 AM: Thanks for the link phool, could not get it to open, most likely my work puter.
I called cabelas, man has customer service gone out the window nowadays, got hung up on twice while being transfered, finally got to the pre-owned (used) department, guy told me nope dont have one for that price or with a thumbhole stock and could not remember if they sold one recently? Put me over to new and well he just rattled off everything they had quickly, put me on hold to see if any had a thumbhole stock and i got disconnected again, so i gave up.
I will keep looking.

Post by: bearhunter99 on February 08, 2010, 11:36:52 AM: There were a few for around $300, including scope, on seattleguns.net I haven't checked to see if they were still available but there were like 3 or 4 of them. Marlin and Savage, blued and stainless. Good luck!

Post by: huntnphool on February 08, 2010, 12:41:57 PM: Hey Buckmark, I may be down that way tomorrow and if I am I will stop in and check again. There was one there Friday so maybe they sold it this weekend. Maybe KillBilly or someone that lives close could stop and check it out?
