I've been hankering for a .17 hmr lately and have been leaning towards a Marlin. My dad has 925m that has a really nice wood stock with checkering; that rifle is great and really set a high standard for Marlin for me. So I went to the gun shop to look at a 917v and guess what, cheap, crappy looking, no grain, stock with no checkering!! They had a 925m too, same story.. I went to a different shop, same story.. I thought that maybe they had different models (standard and deluxe) but on the Marlin website they only show one wood stock model. The picture at the top of the website shows a 925 with the nice stock, but all of the model pictures shows the crappy, non checkered stock. The stock is one of the things that Marlin had over Savage...
