The .17 cal. is great. I have a 17 AH and a 17 Mach 4 right now, but have had a 17-223 and a 17 Rem. in the past. I passed on a 300 yrd. shot at a coyote with the 17 AH, but had he been in around 200 yrds. I think the little 19 gr. bullet would have done the job. With any of the other 3 I would have taken the 300 yrds. shot in a heart beat. The key with the 17`s is useing the right bullet.

Savage

bit the bullet today and picked up the Butt-Ugly Savage. The camo is even different on the gun vs the scope !
Cant wait to see how it shoots.
