    the savage has a bolt that telescopes as a method of letting pressure drop before extraction of the spent case, the 17hmr is seriously high pressure and everyone else semi 17 has the occasional split case and a face full of hot gas is not present.
    i had my hands on one of the savages but it seemed a bit light and flimsy for me.
