My wife keeps bugging me to buy a Savage A17 semi-auto rifle in 17 HMR. I'll confess autos in shotguns,rifles and pistols aren't my preference. She out shoots me with the S&W 5906 and the Ruger Mini 14 (no I ain't mad or jealous). Darn happy to have a wife that understands the need for guns and our 2nd Amendment. Let me re-phrase that "ecstatic."
Mostly is the Savage "plastic" rifle of decent quality and worth the small investment? I like the price of the ammo...
Not being a scope expert please advise:
If the answers come back mostly yes "Get her one" what reasonably priced scope should be installed please? I really want to keep this project,if it happens, as simple and frugal as possible with decent quality. This discussion has been going on for several months since she saw it in American Rifleman.
Her tenacity is...well...uh, why I love her but a .17...uh boy.
Thank you in advance for your help.
