New Savage B-Mag .17 WSM

Picked this rifle up at cabelas saturday, heavy fluted barrel model with a piece of shit plastic stock ( stock touched the left side of the "freefloated" barrel ) took lots of sanding to fix that and i put a rubber o-ring in the front stock mounting screw to raise it up slightly. Took it out sunday with 4 types of ammo: Hornady 20grn Vmax (18.00/50, american eagle 20 grn (14.00/50, winchester ( Hey,that's my dogs name ) 20 grn. & 25 grn ( both 16.00/50. Not a bad shooter, the targets below are at 200 yards with a slight wind ( 5-8 mph) from behind and to the right





Didn't have a caliper to measure the 10 shot group so i did it the "pollack" way with a shoot-n-see target ( grids are 1") 7 of the shots are within 2", the two flyers at the bottom were my fault, guy next to me was shooting a 7mm mag and i flinched a couple times
Had the scope zeroed at 100 yds and the round dropped only 4-4.5" out to 200.

Under those pasters are some -1" groups fired at 100 yds and some 1 hole groups fired at 50, all were 5 shot groups.

And the best groups were with the 25 grain winchester and the american eagle, the 200 yard group was with the Hornady

Here's the rifle and Bushnell 6-24x scope, you can see how off center the shitty stock is







The mag was another small issue, no where near as easy to load as a ruger rotary, had to learn how to wiggle the round as you pushed down and back.

That should kill a ground hog.

I'm hoping coyote, going up to a friends place near Show Low in a few weeks, he's been overrun with dogs this year and it's open season on the nasty little fucks
