edgecrusher Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'm torn between the Savage TR, Savage FV-SR, and a Ruger 10/22 Tactical with Hogue stock. All are very nice. The Savage FV-SR with a Nikon Prostaff Rimfire scope puts me in well under $500 from a buddy that owns a gun store. Although the rimfire uppers are nice, I'd like a dedicated rifle right now. I'll have to give it a bit more thought. Thanks to all that gave some imput. Keep it coming if you have any other recommendations. Both of those Savage rifles are on my list, and I would buy the TR now if he could get one, any discounts if we double up? I too will use that scope! Let me know j, I'm ready!

This friend was the same that was unable to get a KAC in when I first joined the forum. It wasn't his fault due to obscene demands but I don't know what the wait will be on those. I'm guessing not too bad because it's no SR15E3. I'll send an email out at that point so I can move right away when I have the cash in hand. I'm sure we can double up for the same price. It's that place in Uxbridge so it's a hike for both of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrtmasp Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Heres my 10/22's for inspiration. The red one has a threaded muzzle I'll take one of each please. Very nice rifles. How much would you say you have invested for the one on the right? I want to know what I'm in for when I get bored and start upgrading.

Microgunner Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Sorry, Microgunner. As Towsand Whelan once said," Only ACCURATE rifles are interesting.LOL!! Terry It's accurate enough. Certainly minute of squirrel. Just not as accurate as my Anschutzes, Volquartsens, Win. 75 Target, Izhmash CM-2 and the like. Of course, it wasn't intended to be. But those rifles are well over the OP's $500 budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 wait until you see my CZ 452. FS2KSTD has been inspirational with the project. I wish the Clark/B&C build had a threaded barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJL Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 ah yeah, one of the "no fun allowed" states. I'm itching to put a suppressor on that one, would make for even more fun factor. but its nice to have 30 round magazines that you can dump in a few seconds and stay accurate with given the non-existent recoil anyhow.

98Z5V Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 .22LR bolt rifles with a can are ridiculously quiet. All you heard here was the click of the trigger, then the impact on steel next.

planeflyer21 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 .22LR bolt rifles with a can are ridiculously quiet. All you heard here was the click of the trigger, then the impact on steel next. That's one reason I'm hesitant to get a suppressor for a .22 rifle. With several brands of "quiet" ammo, my manual-action .22s are quieter than pellet rifles.

Microgunner Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 22's are the ideal platform for supressors. They go together. Every small game rifle should be supressed IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunbunny Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Posted 15 May 2013 - 08:51 PM Personally, I don't really think that there is a "good" 22 sporter out there, anymore. The Marlin 2000 was a good gun, also the "old" Remington 541 delux. or the older Winchester, don't rember the model. I'v been pondering this myself, latley. Respectfully Terry I'm in complete agreement with you. I've owned a newer Savage rimfire rifle, and it can't hold a candle to my old Winchester Model 69. For $500 you could pick one up from gunbroker and have quite a bit left over for mounting a scope (or ammo- if you can find it ;)). I've shot the Marlin 2000 in the summer biathlon competition, and they are nice rifles, but I have never found one locally, and the prices they want for one on Gunbroker astounds me. Here's a photo of a pair of shooters/runners (with their Marlin 2000 club guns) after a summer biathlon competition: Edited May 24, 2013 by gunbunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Marlin could make a killing if they reintroduced the 2000! Basically a 795 with a heavy barrel, target style stock, and a great trigger. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Today I took only the Savage MKIIFSS to the range and ran a couple of hundred rounds through it. After zeroing for the Remington Golden Duds, I set out working on basic rifle skills I've been neglecting. The AccuTrigger is set at about 3#, and it has the HiViz sights (green rear, red front). Even with that setup on this light rifle, it was easy to pick off left over chunks of plastic bottles, wood, or paper at about 120 yards...usually first shot. You should seriously take a good look at these little Savage bolt-actions! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripledeuce Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) When I had my retail shop open,,,,,,,,I saw WAY to many Savages come in for repair or adjustment......... Had a Marlin 2000 with the origional blue stock. Very accurate. but I doubt that I put more than 20 rounds through it ,sat in the safe for years, untill I sold it to one of our 4-H shooters Sometimes you just can't get away from old predjucies.

Savage was one of the few makes of which we only sent back one example. Of the big brands the biggest surprise was S&W. We sent back lots and lots...quite a few from the Performance Center.

Tripledeuce Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Funny how things work, isn't it? In the '60s, the shop I bought was a authorised Savage repair station. They did away with those befor I bought the store. Still, I saw a bunch of Savages. Funny, I can only rember sending back 2 S&W's, both for bluing problems. My only problem was trying to get enough to sell. I even forged a friendship with a guy in Guam, and brought them back to the mainland. BOY was the Customs Service ever a pain!!!!! Had to get a friend at ATF to run interfience!LOL!!! I was out of the retail business befor the Performance Center started getting big. Never handled one of their guns while I was in business.
