Thread: Savage A17

It's peaked my interest

Does look interesting eh - I'm not big on semis or the 17hmr really, but it seems like a good bit of kit from the initial reviews.

Wonder if they'll make a 22LR version or just keep making the old Mod.64 as well.

I like it

I want one NOW. Only thing is cleaning will be a pain as you really need to scrub the copper out. Not easy with a pull through.

Anyone heard or seen one of these beasts in nz?

Apparently one was here for a distributor/industry demo. I assumed it left again. Maybe we should try and order a bunch from the States?

The importers have ordered them and most shops have ordered a few . Just waiting for them to arrive in NZ now .

I wonder how they'll be priced

Cheers, I'd be interested to actually have a good nosey at one

Considering we are in NZ, probably very reasonably

no

We can only wait and hope.

Just checked the Savage website, US RRP for the A17 is $475 compared with $372 for the B-Mag so you're probably right!

Yeah I am picking $1000-1200. There will be the usual excuse about the now low NZ dollar etc.
