I was thinking about buying a savage b-mag chambered in the new 17 Winchester super mag. After handling the rifle I can say that I will be waiting for someone other than savage to chamber a rifle in this caliber before I buy one. While the round it self is a little bad ass, the rifle is complete junk. I've heard that they shoot well but it feels cheaply made and looks like it came out of the nerf gun factory. It felt like an airsoft rifle. Scratch that, that is an insult to airsoft makers. The T-handle bolt knob rubs against your trigger finger, the mag release is flimsy, and the stock is, well it's what you would expect for a rifle under $300. I think a little redesign is needed on this one. Just my opinion, but wanted to share it with anyone that was interested in the rifle.

Bringing this one back from the dead because I was looking into getting one! I have found the gun in stores but no ammo only ammo is on gunbroker! Did they discontinue the ammo but not the gun? Or is it just hard to find ammo like 22lr?

anyone have one? Shoot anything with it?
