Just picked up a Savage B.Mag tonight

[PanhandleGlocker]

Went down to Walmart tonight and saw that they had a Savage B.Mag. It's a .17 Winchester Super Magnum. Any of you know what I have gotten myself into? I have a .17HMR but thought I would try this gun out too.

I really like mine, accuracy sub moa. Taken several coyotes with it with no issues............no exit wounds.

I've seen ammo for it readily available as well.

What kind of scope you running?

 

[Okie4570]

A cheap 4x12, don't recall the name off hand.

I heard accuracy suffered a lot due to the flimsy plastic stock and powder charged that ranged from +95fps to -95fps. There's a video on YouTube explaining it.

I want one bad but I wonder what the effective range is on coyotes?

 

[Okie4570]

I can tell you first hand that accuracy in mine is sub moa, as well as another friend who has one. When running through the chronograph, we never have experienced more than 25fps difference. Longest coyote shot has been only about 175 yards. The stock is so so at best..............Boyds makes a nice $100 laminate stock for them.

And you havent seen any flyers? I've seen close groups but them consistent flyers about a 10 inches away

I think that there were some issues with the earlier rifles but they have gotten better. The round is intriguing. I don't understand why there is only one rifle for it. Let us know how you like it. I want one, too.

Never, I've run about 100 rounds through mine............buddy has put several boxes through his. I did a couple of review threads, on OSA I think, maybe it was another forum, I'll look.
