Savage .22 Mark II's- Any Experience???

[Bully 749]

I'm strongly considering a .22 for myself for plinking/target fun and am looking at the Savage Mark II's. Anyone have any experience with them, good or bad? Thanks for the help.

I have two and I am very happy with them, I am actually selling them if you are interested?? Let me know if you want to try them out. I could meet up with you somewhere.

Jmac,

 

I'd be interested in learning more about the MkIIs you wanna sell.

 

Thanks.

I have a Savage MKII BTVS (thumb-hole stock, varmint/heavy barrel).

 

My opinion: fantastic rifle. Makes it worth spending money for quality ammo - it is capable of very, very tight groups. Trigger is adjustable (at least on my model). 10 Round magazines are $15 or so and available online. Stock has two sling mounts - one for a bi-pod and the second for a sling (nice feature).

 

Not the cheapest .22 out there, but it has the “quality that will last forever” feel. For a grown-up .22 for plinking, that could also do serious precision/match shooting: yes, highly recommended.

I believe Skylands Sport Shop in Wantage had a used Mark II for sale.

Is there any problem owning a Savage Mark II FV-SR in New Jersey? It has a threaded muzzle...

No issue. It's a bolt action, not a semi, so the EVIL feature restrictions don't apply.

I have one in a Manners T4 trainer stock so it has the same feel as my full size rifles. I bought mine used and am very happy with it. Only thing I did not like was the factory trigger. I installed an aftermarket trigger from Midway (I think its made by Rifle Basix) and now the trigger is very crisp. On a good day with minimal wind I can shoot 1/2" groups at 50 yards with Federal Match regular velocity ammo.

I'll echo the sentiment that the BTVS is superb, by far my favorite .22 and a have a few.

I have a basic Mark II "GXP" (Basic wood stock, combo package w/ scope) which i replaced the scope w/ a Nikon ProStaff 4-12x40mm BDC ... AMAZING RIFLE.

 

At the $150 I paid for it , normally $200 on sale for $150, it is REDONKULOUSLY accurate and I have not have one single malfunction with it. It shoots any ammo I have put in it, but it appreciates quality and certainly loves the good stuff.

 

This was a purchase because I loved the look, it looks like a Browning A-Bolt deer hunting rifle but its a Savage .22LR, and it SHOOTS like a Browning A-Bolt deer rifle as well.

 

Probably my classiest and happiest to luck into purchase.

I have the GXP model as well and I love it. So far I've only shot winchester bulk and cci blazer bulk, cci has been more accurate.

I have 5 Savages in 3 different rimfire calibers. Nary a problem w. any of them. Great guns at a great price.

I shoot a MKII TR at CJRPC. I'l set steel up on the back burms and ring it all day. There's nothing more gratifying than hitting a 12"x12" plate at 300 yards. People really underestimate .22LR for anything past 50 yards....... I shoot this rifle more than any other, it's great!
