Thread: Savage A22M/17

Accuracy is decent, gets pretty wandery if you're trying to run it too hot. (Rabbits wait for no man)

Noisy little bastard, even with a can on. Noise comes from the action rather than the muzzle.

Trigger is better than most factory setups. If it gets a little dirty, it won't always cock right if you're a bit slow releasing the trigger again after firing. Usually just a conscious correction of technique is all that's needed for a few shots, then you're good with muscle memory.

Mags are horrible little things to load, have to press and twist the round in with a bit of a weird motion. (9 shot mags)


Those less than glowing points out of the way, it shoots reliably, I don't recall it being prone to jamming, extremely effective for cleaning up a nice cluster of bunnies and feels decent to the hand/shoulder.
