. In the end it is you who will be stuck with the choice. I had the savage 93r17btvss nice gun but heavy with a scope, bull barrell, wood stock, sling, and bipod

. I had the Pine Ridge tactical and my father in law had the sweet 17. Most important is that I suggest going with one that has the yardage turrent at the top and windage at the side. You sight it in at 100yds, remove turrent dials and line up to lines again and your good. your zero line for yardage is actually 100 yds and the zero line for windage is no wind... Then when it is at 200yds just turn the dial to 200yds and fire away. The ones with yardage turrents will fallow the 17grain bullents almost perfectly. The ones with yardage line recticles might get a little confusing. Hope this helps
