Well the Ruger is no longer on sale so I am looking at either a Marlin XT bolt action with a wood stock or a Savage 93 F bolt action, anyone have any experience with either one of these?

The 17 will be to much overkill but would be nice if a pig walked by while squirrel hunting. I've wished I had one squirrel hunting a few times when I got in a bunch of pigs.


Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

I have the Marlin 981. It's a bolt action with the tube magazine. It's a shooter and under $200. I really like it.

One thing nobody has mentioned is that shooting a 17hmr in the air might not be safe. Of course neither is a 22lr, but the hmr would go farther. Just a thought.

the savage mark II bolt gun is excellent. MUCHO bang for buck. it will earn as fine a scope as you can afford. i have the cheaper model without the accu-trigger. i reckon the a-t model could be worth the extra money.
as for pellet rifles, i find a .22 pellet rifle seems to kill quicker than the .22 LR at pellet ranges. must be the energy dump of the slower, soft pellet. but the .22 LR will reach on out there, as you know ...

Ended up getting the Marlin XT bolt action and topped it with a Simmons 3x9x32 scope, wife bought if for me today.

Check around and see if you can get HM2 ammo. If you can then a good Savage bolt or CZ bolt HM2 is what you want. I would say 22 CZ but you are talking 100 yard shots which I can't see doing for squirrels anyway.
