[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 759371, member: 39801"] I'm a huge Cooper guy. They get a bunch of my money. They are fantastic firearms. 2 years ago I won a Savage 17hmr at a banquet. It has poor fit and finish. The plastic trigger group is cheesy. The thumbhole stock is weird. It shoots laser straight. Does it shoot as well as a Cooper? No way. But if I'm going to put a <150 yd shot on a critter, and I may have to crawl up a bit, or I'm walking through the woods or some thick crap, I almost always grab the Savage. It is accurate enough to be within margin of error when field shooting, that's for sure. Plus I don't mess up my pretty walnut! As far as cartridge, I used to pop critters with the 22lr. They ran a lot, even with good shots. With the 17hmr they typically DROP. Good cartridge. [/QUOTE]
