My New .22 (I'm Impressed)

[glowdotGlock]

Yesterday I went and splurged a little on a couple guns. I picked up an 870 Police Magnum and bought all the Magpul furniture which I'll post some pics of later. I was in the market for a good ol' bolt action .22. I found a Savage Mark II FV-SR. It has a 16.5" threaded barrel which I plan to suppress one day. I matched It with a Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 Rimfire scope with a BDC reticle. It is meant for a 50 yard zero and drops 75, 100, 125 and 150 yards. I took it out on the "back forty" this morning along with my saw horse bench and sandbags. I started shooting federal bulk through it at 50 yards and worked it in to a closer group and then switched to 36 grain HP Mini Mags to close in my group. The pic below is 4 shots all connected at 50 yards from the bench and the top is a shot from 75 yards through the first reticle below 50 which I squeezed a little high. I could not be more impressed with this rifle and scope. It only came with the 5 round mag which did get a little annoying while on the bench but I have 3 10 rounders on the way. I am glad to add it to the family.

Nice...and great shootin' by the way. :up:  Looks like you have a winner.

[hipower]

Yeah...good shootin'.

Impressive group. Hard to beat a good bolt-action rifle.

Very nice! Did you buy it local?

Thanks. I did. Kings in Columbia. I do a lot of business with them.

Thanks, never been there but may check them out just for this rifle. I've heard good things about them and would like to pick one up. Glad to see you're happy with yours. Are you going to keep the factory stock or change to upgraded one, or don't know yet?

I have already been looking at some stocks and found a few I like in the $150 range. I am probably gonna do the stock soon and a bipod and maybe even a faux suppressor till I go through and get a real one. Edited August 2, 2015 by glowdotGlock

Sounds like a good plan. That Boyd's Tacticool stock looks pretty nice and is in that price range too. Good luck and enjoy your new purchases!

Ok. I've been wanting a li'l bolt .22. That's gunna be the one. Thanks for doing my research and testing for me!

That's exactly what I want. Just add optic and go, then suppresor later down the road. That'll work beautifully with my CCI Quiets, I bet.

I love the thing. I have been watching several videos on them with supressors and it's giving me the itch to get the ball rolling. I mounted a little bipod on it and am gonna go shoot in in a few hours. I've got about 6,000 rounds of Federal bulk I need to make a small dent in. I was averaging 1-1.25" even with the cheap stuff.

It's hard to beat a Savage bolt .22, actually impossible IMHO.

[maroonandwhite]

All these .22 posts are making me want to break mine out again!

Took a quick glance and said aloud "Did he shoot that at his jeep??? Oh wait...... aaaaah, I see......"

I'd be happy to help you with your problem of making a dent in the 6K .22's.... :wave:

Oh between this one and the M&P 15-22 and the Ruger Single Ten it shouldn't take long.

Fine looking gun, great shooting and 6,k rounds of .22 LR.  What's not to love?

[btq96r]

I don't know if I could restrict myself to shooting .22LR via bolt action.  Having a GSG-522, it's just too much fun to load a mag and have at it. 

[krunchnik]

Good shooting-I also have a Savage but in .22 mag.Boyds does make some nice stock options.I went with the Varmint look on mine.They are really nice shooting rifles for not very much money.Actually I don't understand how they can sell them so cheap.

 

.22 Caliber is becoming my favorite
