Anyone have one of the Savage A17s ? I know the early ones had some problems but those seem fixed now . Local Walmarts have some marked down to $180 couple and thought about picking one up.

Bought one like new would not feed or function sent it back to Savage still will jam!

My nephew has one. He speaks highly of it. IIRC his prefers the A17 ammo.

Thanks for the replies, i handled one today . I have a couple other 17 rifles so i decided i could live without it.

I have only put about 300 rounds thru mine and have had absolutely no problems. I have used A-17 ammo and CCI Ammo. Very very accurate....I am impressed. I have never been much on savages...had to take back y words on this one. Very sweet rifle.
