Re: .17 HMR Help
I have a Savage 93R .17HMR and I'm pretty happy with it. The savage has the benefit of the accu trigger. I haven't had any experience with the marlin so I can't help you there. The only thing about the savage that I have is that the factory stock is a little light for a bull barrel gun. Savage is making tacticool models now that I have thought about buying. They come with a look a like MCM A5 stock, threaded barrel, and a few other features. If I wasn't saving for an M40A5, one of these would be on my list:
The savage .17 that I have now is a tack driver @ 100 yds. Savage is pretty good quality too. Also, you can buy after market 10 rd mags for the savage, I don't know if marlin has that option.

Re: .17 HMR Help
The savage is based on the MK II action that is a known tack driver, it also has a better aftermarket selection of parts.

I have a Marlin 917v. It's nice and have no intentions of getting rid of it now that it has a trigger and few other add ons.
if i started all over i would get the savage.

Re: .17 HMR Help
Thanks guys for the response. The one I was looking at is the one with the tacticool stock and multiple rail system. I can get this one for 430.00 so I will probably go with it. thanks agin guys.

My Savage 93 is accurate out to 400 yards, so i would go with that again if I need another. Beyond 400 you are gridding artillery fire. When shooting steel out that far the shot splashes on the metal were touching which I was extremely happy with.

I just bought a Savage 93 in .17 HMR. It was a great value, shoots well and the AccuTrigger is very nice especially coming stock. Can't miss.

Re: .17 HMR Help
marlins older guns were alot better quality than todays variants. I would go with the savage. I have owned several and just finished a short barreled build. i couldn't be happier with the performance of these rifles
