I bought a bunch of rifles at an estate sale and one was a low end Savage 9317 , I put a cheap Bushnell scope on it and it is unbelievably accurate for a rimfire. I ended up using it on short range coyotes and dumpster diving raccoons where it has proved unexpectedly effective using the 20 gr. HP's. It is relatively quiet and unless I am shooting paper I don't use ear plugs but one shot hopefully won't cause bad hearing loss.
