Thread: Savage A17

Thanks, How loud do you find it with the suppressor ? I ask as I had a Savage 17GLV a few years back and it was a ton quieter suppressed,but on the OTHER forum a guy talks about using savage A17 suppressed with a 22 mag dpt , A17 ammo, and reckons a "larger heaver suppressor" would quieten down the crack just a wee bit more" as he reckons its still quite a crack as its gruntier ammo.

Ive noticed in 2016 savage has now brought out laminated and laminated thumbhole versions and you can also get bull barrel versions as well, plus the guys who own savage also own Butler Creek and have a 25 round mag for it which would be handy. Just a pain in the ass that as a leftie the thumbhole version is of no use to me..grr.

As for the magazines,yes,with the savage mags you have to hold your tongue just right or they don't feed properly. I just ended up making a sort of latch that held the mag up firmly,before that it used to love love sitting about 2-3 mills too low so the bolt misses catching the bullet.
