Love my Savage 93 in 17hmr! My only indulgence in a "gaudy rifle":
If a rifle is going to look like that, it better be accurate - this group was shot from a bench rest at 100yds:
Do your self a favor if you didn't when you bought your rifle. Take the scope off, take the bases off, degrease & remount using some blue loctite. The bases as the come from the factory seem like they are mounted properly - they are not! They will loosen up and the reason for your rifle suddenly shooting inaccurately won't be obvious at first. Very common on '93's - ask me how I know :banghead:
