I don't have the thumbhole stock, but my regular 93 shoots amazingly well. Great on big jacks at 100+ yards.

Hello,
I have one. Fits nice and shoots well. I put a Leupold 4x12 on it. I can confidently take squirrels at 100 yards and groundhogs out to 200 yards, depending on wind. That's all I require. No buyers remorse and no "upgrades" planned.
Also, it makes me look like I know what I'm doing at the range - a singular achievement.

Shoot one?
Oh yeah... I've shot one.
Here's a pic of mine. (That's a Mueller 8.5-25X44 AO tactical scope on top of it)
It's not a really expensive rifle, and there are places where that's easy to see.
The safety lever, for instance, is a bent piece of sheet metal.
The magazine mounting stuff is a little cheesy, too.
But for the money, it's got some nice points.
The stock is beautiful. It's nicely shaped and heavy. It allows the rifle to sit square and steady on the sand bags.
The bolt is simple but it works nicely and the stainless action and barrel have a good finish.
The trigger is the best one I own. It's very light (I cut the spring) and very crisp, and the accutrigger is safe, too.
I generally get 3/4"-1" groups at 100 yards with the CCI TNT hollow points
This is a REALLY fun rifle. Not only does it give real sub MOA groups every time I shoot it, but it blows things up, too. If you pop a Crow with this thing at 100 yards, there's going to be feathers everywhere. I'm talking dramatic! (Google up video by searching for "17HMR squirrel")
It costs a little more than a .22 to shoot, but it gets pulled out of the safe as much or more than my .22s do just because it's so fun to shoot.
I like to put golf balls on the ground at the 200 yard range and shoot at them.
I can hit about five or six shots out of ten, and it's a real hoot to watch the golf ball go flying through the scope.
I give the rifle two thumbs up! I have had no problems or complaints after several thousand rounds.
I'm sure that you will enjoy it if you get one.

Mine's in .17hmr, and it's a shooter. Love this little rifle

I checked it out too. Nice gun. My only complaint that it doesn't come in 22LR.

Mine looks just exactly like that and it is a .22
It has the accutrigger, and the same stock. It shoots way better than I do.
I did put 10 shots into one hole at 25 yards with Rem subsonic. Kills crows almost every day, as they seem to like my back field. Does not blow them up, but they don't go anywhere either.
I could like crows better if they did not make noise when I try to sleep.

So I found out at Dick's today. They had one in the back room, so I bought it. Its modeled as the Mark II BTVS (.22LR), not as a 93R BTVS (.17HMR) which is what I looked at the other day.

Swman, I have the same gun as cmidkiff's and it is in .22. The camera is broke or I would post some pictures for you. My favorite rim-fire so far in my life...
