    disappointed today - the Scope came to my house (FedEx) - called the Rifle seller and they said they hadn't gotten it from their supplier as yet ! Dang ! if I would have know that I would have bought from another seller !!!!!

    I'm a very impatient person .....

    Bummer!

    Sounds like a nice setup (was gonna say package but didn't want to stir up any feelings of (or jokes about) inadequacy) :green:

    the days tick away and I need to get the scope mounted and sighted-in - also, my Wife is a "Christmas Gift Snooper" (tho she says finding "things" is accidental)

    she "found" a Makarov pistol of hers that I had Hard Chromed recently (that was accidental however) - was going to wait to give it to her until after getting a Marschal grip that I ordered in August (enroute via USPS as I type)

    so, I need to get stuff done and outta here

    My Marlin 917V in 17HMR is the only rifle that I shot a perfect score 500/500 in 200 yard competition. I also shot a 499/500 at 200. Buy some GOOD cleaning equipment for the .17. The barrels copper foul when new.

    This thread sucks without pics!

    when I brought everything home yesterday I asked my Wife if she wanted her Christmas gift early - she said "NO"

    so, everything sits in the back seat area of my pickup truck - until I can get her out of here and I can assemble all (she leaves the country, for work, on Friday so I'll be able to work on it and take some pics at least then !!!!!

    my Wife left for work this morning so it gave me a chance to "finally" put the scope and bipod on the rifle - I think she's going to like it (I do..) :

    If she doesn't like it, get rid of her!

    Kidding, it looks great, and I'm sure she'll be happy!

    I have the Savage 93R17. That is one crazy accurate gun. My 14 yr old shot dime sized groups at 50 yds with it.
