It appears one needs the new A17 ammo to get the best accuracy. Both rifle and ammo are so new that very few people would have either, yet. Sounds like it's going to be a winner (just wish they put something on it besides their flimsy tupperware).: www.gunblast.com/Savage-A17.htmI like that guy's reviews.

Thanks danno . I like the way the guy reviews also. Appears that the new A17 ammo is the only way to go with the Rifle. Gun worked great with the new cci and accuracy was outstanding I don't imagine he let the barrel cool at all wayles

To each his own, but I would wait and see if Savage will work on the trigger and clip functions in the later models. Maybe it's just hit or miss? Some guys love em. My experience was less than impressive.

They shoot the best in my Marlin, but it doesn't shoot Hornady XTP's or CCI TNT's very well, either. I know that's just apples to oranges comparing ammo in a bolt to semi-auto, but just sayin'.

My experience was less than impressive. Well, I just went through a lot of posts at Savage Shooter's and it looks like you're not the only one having problems. Looks like Savage is slowly getting the kinks worked out, but waiting would be a good idea: www.savageshooters.com/forumdisplay.php?112-Semi-Automatic-Rimfire-Rifles
