I have a savage I carry in my pickup all the time. I bought it with a BSA sweet 17 scope. I love the rifle and it is very accuate. However the scope wasn't consistant and I have replaced it. I would get the rifle sighted in and shooting great, then I would jar the scope a little and have to start all over. I liked the scope otherwise but having to resight it every little while got darned old!!

If your BSA scope is working okay I wouldn't change it. I may send mine in to see if they will fix it. In the mean time I went on ebay and bought a cheap Tradition scope that seems to work fine. Like I said earlier, this is my pickup rifle and I have it with me nearly all the time. Its kind of a rough life!

Does anybody know anything about Taurus's Tracker 17 HMR revolver with the 6-1/2" barrel? I am wanting to know the good and bad about it.

I havent heard nothing but good about them and actually was considering buying one myself...I use a off-brand revolver now and like it alot...it's a RG and has the cylinders for both 22 long rifle and 22 mag, that mag leaves a nasty last taste in their mouth...I think the cool think about the Trackers is how light they are...I have 2 Taurus hand guns (a 44 mag and a 9mm) and even though they're a bit cheaper than other makes, they hold up well...
