Best HMR .17? Marlin vs Savage vs New Ruger Rimfire

[StoneyBrax]

I've read about the Savage 93R17 and Marlin XT17 and they seem to be the two most talked about but what about the New Ruger Rimfire that was just released this past year? They have been reviewed very well and are talked about like the 10/22 that has become so popular. Wondered if anyone has shot the New Ruger and how it compares to the other 17 caliber HMR's. Which is the best ? I'm about to buy one for target shooting and would like to hear everyone's opinion. So let's hear it

Savage would be my pick.

I have owned the marlin and the savage. The savage to me is in a different league than the marlin. Trigger was fantastic, beautiful wood stock and it was boringly accurate.

Nothing against the marlin. It shot fine but it didn't give me the satisfaction the savage did.

Ruger M77

I'm a big fan of Ruger. That being said, I went with Savage for my .17. Hard to beat that trigger.

Thanks for the replies! Savage it is
