Savage B mag .17wsm pt1

Well I've now had the pleasure of taking it out Rabbiting, I had the Ward 700 & Ovrlux laser fitted & it made for a very accurate & nicely balanced set-up,
Not excessively heavy for walking the fields and I have to say it proved absolutely flawless.

I did have some reservations about the flex in the synthetic stock & whether there would be any problem with zero changing with hold/rest, but they proved groundless, off quad sticks it was superb.

The round itself is pretty devastating on head shot rabbits, at 100yds there was a puff of red mist & not much head left ,
I did take one chest shot just to see the effect, at about 60yds, there was some salvageable meat behind the ribcage but the little bit that was left of the front half was just mush.

Judging by the effect on rabbits I'd happily think this is definitely a 100yd fox rifle & then some.

I'm trying not to sound like a teenager gushing over the latest pop-idol, but I have to say this is love at first shot.

oh almost forgot,

Cool - will be interesting to see how you get on with it in the future.

Not heard any other reports from users of this calibre & we have few truly new innovations available to us in the field-shooting community!

Very smart looking, i have been thinking about one of these recently but ammunition is like hens teeth.

Thankfully no problem for me, dealer one way sells Hornady, dealer the other way sells American Eagle
Both are nicely consistent over the chrono.
