[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1167399, member: 17593"] I have the Ruger and I like it! But, I didn't like the stock that much so I have ordered a stock from MPI stocks in Oregon. I talked a long time with Miss Lisa and she walked me through several of their stock possibilities. We finalized it and they are now completing the build. I am blown away at the speed it will come back to me and the help I got to get the right one! Not many companies for replacement stocks for this Ruger, but MPI makes a fine one. I'm sure they can do it for Savages. Now, as for ammo, my Ruger has a preference for the Federal American Eagle 20 grain. When I first shot a 17WSM, we shot the Winchester. Gave several misfires which, when put back in the rifle went bang. I also found this to happen (not as often) with my Ruger. Never had one with Am.Eagles. And , Natchez runs it for $13.99 a box! About the trigger on the Ruger; it sucks! But, is easily fixable. It comes apart and back together without having to be a master gunsmith. What it needs is polishing, and a lot! Mine now breaks very, very cleanly at 2 pounds. It was about 6! Love the cartridge! It will reach way out there... [/QUOTE]
