Savage or Marlin ?
 

Dose anyone know which rifle is the better one,the Savage 93R17GV or the Marlin 917V. I would appritiate any feedback
the pro's and the con's. ;) Thanks.

They should both be good quality firearms.

The best hintg i could recommened since i have no personal knowledge of either, is to find a gunshop or someplace that has both and try each one out for size and feel.

then choose which _you_ prefer.

Since I posted this post,looking into other forums I've read about savage having problems ejecting live rounds.;)

It's Marlin
 

I was going to buy a friends savage R17GV but since I only heard of savage having any problems.So instead I ordered the marlin
917V. Thanks for the help.;)

Must have missed the last post.

Funny I've never heard of that, in anything other than inidvigual rifles, usually because of lousy cleaning.

If you would, please link some of the articles you mentioned.

I can't remember what forum I was on, Ive been on so many different forums lately. I feel too,it was an isolated case
it was most likely do to poor cleaning.Both rifles are probably
good rifles and I'm sure either would be a good choise.;) Ken.

Marlin
 

I have the 917V...a tack driver!

This is the gun I personally would say to look at first.

yeh, thats the one I bought the 917V.I like It a lot.Put a tasco
2.5-10X40,it seems to like the hornady over all others I've tried.
Ken ;)

I bought the Savage back when the 17HMR first came out. Mine is a tack driver. Sub 1/2 MOA @ 100 yds with no wind.
