Anything I plan on shooting with this combo is going to be 50 to 100 yards, maybe closer since I am interested in getting some nighttime varmints that damage the buildings and stuff. From my back yard, is a pasture with prairie dogs in it, they are anywhere from 50 to several hundred yards away.
-13.1" at 200 yards. is the 17 HMR WOW Now thats Drop....
and its lost over 1,000 FPS in 200 yards.... (The bullet must have left its wheels down) 
The word "OUTSTANDING" Does not apply.

That bullet drop of 13.1" is for a 20 grain bullet. The 17 grain bullet is 8.5" drop. And I know wind will play havoc on shooting too. LOL yeah still a lot of drop, but for my use I do not need long range, my bullet drop info coming from chuckhawks dot com. I've got other centerfire rifles I could use for longer ranges.
With whats been going on in the world lately, I have just been wanting to get a few extra guns and ammunition. The savage I got had the weaver/picatinny rails factory mounted, which made my scope just a 2 thumbscrew bolt on. And also it has a nice trigger adjustment built in it too. I've got a marlin .22 I could have used also, but I wanted another rifle I guess. I`ve got some other .222 and .223 rifles around too, with the .222 being my favorite gun I have. Its a tackdriver and a lot of fun to shoot.
