    I enjoy your realistic reviews. You can tell that you're never trying to sell us on anything, only showing us what we need to know and setting our expectations appropriately. I think that is why your channel is successful. I have the A17 as well but not the pro varmint version. Your group with that ammo is actually better than anything I've tried in mine.

    Happy New Year to you, too, Buffalo. Probably THE best firearms channel, and I've watched just about ALL OF THEM. He's not arrogant, he has zero EGO and never pushes a product or company. Just honest opinions and honest reviews. ONE of the biggest reasons why I love this channel is because he uses firearms that almost all of us can actually afford to own and shoot, unlike 90% of all the other channels that only show expensive ass guns that only the 1% can afford.
    KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK BUFFALO 😊

    It's a bit of a disappointment to have Savage NOT listen to the rifle owners who have complained about the difficulty of loading that 'bear of a magazine'.
    I guess most of us are so used to loading up other magazines similar to this one, and with little problem, that we do find issues with the Savage copy ( copy in tyhe real sense and meaning of the word here )
    I did call Savage Canada (a few years ago) on my difficulty in trying to load up the mag. but they didn't seem to give me much hope of having a look at this problem./ end result, I've been buying competing rifles, ruger american rimfire, marlin ( when I could ) CZ , Chiappa etc.
    Thanks Buffalo, for this video and I always find your content to be enjoyable AND informative,.... all the best of my good wishes for the New Year 2025.

      Thanks for this comment my friend. I agree 100% about the magazines. I sped up the part where I was loading them because it takes me so long to get them loaded. They could definitely do better than that. Especially since the other company has it figured out.

    Good to see another Buffalo video. I haven't really found the purpose for a .17 caliber round, but still look at the rifles. It isn't something that you could really suppress, as I haven't seen sub sonic rounds for it. Where I live, quiet is good, so I am always looking for either a .22 rifle with a threaded barrel, or replacement barrels for other handgun calibers when I get the hankering to buy some steel.

      @@buffalosoutdoors Impressive it read those tiny and fast bullets so well. I heard the big differences between this and the Garmin is this will give you bullet coefficient readings. Maybe you can figure out how to show that. Perhaps deform the noses of some .22lr and see if you get different readings from non-deformed? Just an idea.

After sighting in my scope I put 3 of my hand-loads in the same hole in the middle of the bullseye at 50yd. It was pouring that day (as it does for 10 months straight) in the western Soviet of Washington so I didn't feel like getting soaked to set a 100yd target --- some day soon.

    I love my A17. It shoots damn well. right around 1/2" 10 shot groups. Thanks for showing us yours. Mine is just the sporter model, in the pepper laminate stock. I prefer those much more than the plastic stock Savage uses. Yours is very nice, and I like the heavier fluted barrel. As for the ammo, mine does not like the A17 ammo, but dotes on regular old Hornady and Federal plastic tip ammo.

    Happy New Year, Buffalo! And I hope it is a great year for you and your family!
    With all the rimfire cartridge development in recent years, such as the .17 Winchester 'Super Mag', I'd love to see someone come out with a 6mm (.24) or .25 caliber rimfire with 60 gr. or 70 gr. bullets. Seems like the .17 Winchester Super Mag, which is based on a .27 caliber nail gun cartridge, could just as easily be necked up to .24 or .25 caliber.
    It would be a great choice for larger varmints (raccoons, foxes, coyotes)
    Just wishing out loud. 🤷‍♂

      I feel I'd generally stay away from .22wmr pattern semi-autos (.17 hmr and such), due to the historical issues they've had with case blowouts, difficultly in action reliability, prone to fouling related malfunctions and so forth. It's just a rifle casing that wasn't designed for gas pressure cycling in general. I'm a big .22wmr advocate in manual actions (single, slide, revolver, bolt, lever), it's such a capable and versatile cartridge with double the reach of a typical .22lr, the cartridge packages very tidy, reaches into self defense territory, doesn't cost a ton, and primers are generally more reliable than the LR.

    Nice review Buffalo! I really like the delayed blowback feature which must be reason for flawless semi auto cycling you mentioned. I need to use only 40 grain ammo on my takedown KMS PPK 611 22 wmr to avoid cycling issues. Still wont sell it though as it is basically a BRNO ZKM 611 22 wmr made with same tooling machinery purchased from BRNO by a company now based in Slovakia. I may buy an A17 or A22wmr though:)

  • @MontanaWelldigger
    @MontanaWelldigger 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Great channel you have here. I see now why you have the scope mounted a little high. I prefer mine as low as possible. In my mind I've convinced myself that you have less hold over or under when sighted in at 50 yds and shooting at different ranges if the scope is low. I try to keep our sprinkler irrigated hay fields free of Richardson Ground Squirrels with my .22 LR's. Its an impossible task, but I try.
    I think I've seen you shoot better 50 yd groups with a handgun!!! I enjoy following your channel, thanks.

    • @buffalosoutdoors
      @buffalosoutdoors  21 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      I usually try to mount my scopes to a height where I can get a good cheek weld on the stock but I did have to take into consideration the access cover on this rifle. It's not terribly high but I would prefer it just a little lower. The offset between line of sight and the bore certainly plays a role in point blank range and as you mentioned hold under/over. I wasn't real proud of the group I shot in the video but I that's what that rifle ammo combo does. I might shoot a half inch group or I might shoot over an inch. So I figured that was a good group to show since it was in the middle. I am glad you enjoy the videos and clearing a field of ground squirrels with a 22 sounds like a day in paradise to me.

    nice video. I've had a couple of the A series. You can get the Jard trigger that drastically improves the trigger. In terms of the ammo I found the A17 will happily take other ammo. like you said it's not a match gun, however 100+ on the ES is a lot and if you were trying to take some small varmint at 100, well it could turn into an inhuman shot.

    • @buffalosoutdoors
      @buffalosoutdoors  2 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

      I think a thermostat from the auto parts store would drastically improve the trigger... lol JK.. I have fired a few rounds of other ammo in it, just not enough to really come to any conclusions. Especially since, for my purposes, I don't really have a reason to go chasing benchrest accuracy that wouldn't improve my actual in field abilities anyway (I bought this for groundhogs and where I live 100 yards is a long shot). That being said I understand those who do. I'm not here to disagree. I may even do a follow up video once the weather turns and do an ammo test just for the fun of it. If I get the time.

    Always love your content Buffalo ! For the longest time I wanted an A17. Then I came across a B17 deal that I couldn't say No to. I wasn't thrilled about that the "best" ammo for an A17 was that CCI stuff you used in the video. That ammo is fairly expensive. Why is it that stuff cycles better than the other options available for A17? So I like the B17 better for the reason that the ammo isnt "brand specific". My wife & kids love to shoot my B17 for the low recoil & the fact it's a bolt, teach them to take your time with each shot. Also you are absolutely right on the mags. They are a pain in the ass loading. Not a big fan. I tried making the bigger capacity mags fit but they don't make a B17 mag in that configuration. Even tried to "modify" an A17 mag to run in a B17. No luck. My B17 trigger doesn't seem to have that spongy creep that your A17 did in the video. It is considered a "budget" rifle hence the cheaper version of the accutrigger maybe ?? Thank you for all the great content and and time you put into making these informative videos.

      What a great comment. Thanks for taking a minute to leave it here. I commend you for getting the wife and kids involved, I wish more people would do that. I don't have a B17 but I do have the B22 magnum. The trigger in the B22 magnum is better than the one in the A17 for sure. As for the magazines it is frustrating that Savage hasn't done anything to improve them. I sped up the part in the video where I was loading the mags because of how long it takes me to load them.
