For Christmas I was ready to buy myself (gift from wife that I get to pick) a Savage A17 17HMR but with Ruger discontinuing the Ruger M77 17HMR I am leaning to grabbing one before they are gone.

A few years ago there was talk on how the M77/17 where not as accurate as older Ruger's was there any truth to that?

After 4 or 5 years how are the Savage A17's holding up?

This will be my small game plinker so I really do not the semi auto.

Thanks
