17 WSM at the range today
Crazy cold this morning but no wind, shooting Savage 17 WSM , Winchester 20gr ammo, this was at 100 yards, its a rim fire going at 3000 fps, shooting just off bean bags. No sled, like many have said the bolt is bad, using a 4-16 44ml scorpion varmint scope. I am ten X more shotgun than rifle....but I was very impressed , this is three shots...
next I walked out a frozen orange to 100 yards and shot it, went and picked it up and I could see the RED polymer stuck in the orange where the bullet expanded, what I can say, I love the accu trigger and going to adjust it down a bit.

I have the same set up, same scope, but was running the 25gr(?) Winchesters, and couldn't get a decent group (2"-3") at 75 yards. So I'll have to try the 20gr's. Thanks for the post

I can't get the 25 grains to group at all. Seems to really like the 20s though.
Good shooting and nice pics!

How do you fellas like the Bmag? I haven't handled one myself yet but I'm really considering buy one. Or should I wait for another manufacturer to build one? I am a savage fan but the reviews and videos I've seen I don't think I would like this particular rifle.

Looks like the one at the top of the pages shoots very well. I haven't heard of anyone else making a bolt gun for this round. FS

Nope me neither. Just the savage and the Winchester 1885 single shot.

Browning is supposed to be putting one in their TBolt. That would be a sweet little rifle. I'm sure Ruger will have one out soon as well.
I ordered a new Boyd stock for my Bmag, just cleared canadian customs. Soon as i have it i will post pictures. I think a new stock will help. I find the fore stock flimsy on the factory stock. Mine shoots well, other than the mag sometimes not feeding. Its been really cold lately though, maybe that contributes.

Yes $1800-$2200 is kinda ridiculous for a rimfire!
