Opinions on a Savage BTVS .22 and what accessories I would need?

[gnmwilliams]

Been looking at getting a Savage BTVS in .22 for a while now and am wondering if anyone here has owned or used one and what thier thoughts were as to the quality and accuracy of the rifle and what accessories should I need to get the most out of it?

I've got the equivalent rifle in .17HMR. It's one of my favorite rifles. With the acu-trigger from the factory, good glass and a decent bipod, the rifle should be more than capable of doing anything that you can reasonably expect from a rimfire.

Mine has really far exceeded my expectations.

I have the blue version (BTV) and can't brag on it enough. Excellent rifle. Crazy accurate and the heavy barrel maintains accuracy during a long day at the range...even with bulk ammo.

Like MacGyver said, get a decent scope and bipod. You'll want to pick up several of the 10 round mags also. It only comes with one 5 rounder which is absurd.

Savage makes very accurate rifles at a great price. I have a Savage 7 rem mag that is great. I have shot the 17HMR versions of the Savage rimfire. The 17HMR Savages are extremely accurate.

If the .22 shoots anything like my 17HMR did, you'll love it.

I don't think you can wrong with a Savage, especially for the price.
