New .22LR!

Paco · Sep 4, 2012

Savage Mark II FV-SR
Bushnell Banner 4-12x40mm scope
Caldwell Bipod

Ordered an unfinished Boyds Tacticool stock for it, only to find its now back-ordered til October on MidwayUSA.

Also, got an Innovative Arms Apex-S suppressor for it. Have to wait a bit longer for that one

Edit: scope is a 4-12, not a 3-9.

Congrats on the Rifle. Cant wait to see some pics.
How is that scope? Ive been looking for a new one
to put on my new 10/22 but I'm leaning towards
the Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 3-9x40mm.

Paco · Sep 4, 2012

The Bushnell is a $100 scope. It is what it is. I like it, has parallax adjustment on the front ring.
I got one and put it on my VEPR, it hasn't broken it yet. but that gun can abuse some scopes :shock:

I have a Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 4x30 on my air rifle and it is an excellent scope for the money.

Pictures will be up once photobucket finishes "maintenance" on my account (gone on for 5 hours now)

Edit:
Expanding on the scope topic: The Bushnell is putting up with the abuse of a 7.62x54R while being mounted on a side-mount (AK style) rail. Obviously the Nikon Rimfire isn't designed to do this, the optics on it are superb. There's nothing wrong with the optics on the Bushnell, but I think the Nikon's are a bit better

Hmms, did I say the Bushnell was a 3-9x40 scope? Its not, its actually a 4-12x40mm scope.

My dad got that exact rifle about 3 weeks ago to run his .22 suppressor on, in addition to his P22. 16" barrel is a great length. Savage is building some solid little rifles with features people want: shorter threaded barrel, scope rails, adjustable trigger, etc. It's worth the money.

Paco · Sep 5, 2012

Yeah, they're great rifles. Free floated fluted barrel, good scope base, accutrigger. They're tack drivers.
Having the threaded barrel for the suppressor is a perfect bonus

I have a basic model Savage Mk II with standard barrel and plastic stock, when using Rem or RWS sub sonics it will cloverleaf 5 at 50 yards. This is the reason I kept this gun instead of using it as a deal sweetner in some trade... lol.

The heavy barrel Savage Mk II are amazing in terms of accuracy.

Love it! Looks really similar to a 10/22 that I just finished tinkering with. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it once you've had it at the range some. How's that trigger?

Great... I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Yet another gun on my want-to-try list.

Well I am going down to Charleston for vacation starting tomorrow through Wednesday

Wish I could get down there. My family lives there. I've got some family up in Anderson, too. If I'm ever up in the G'ville area, I'll let you know. Enjoy that Accu Trigger!

I'm glad you put the bit in there about the suppressor. My dad has this exact rifle and an Innovative Arms Apex can for it. I did a test for him about different types of ammo and the drop experienced. I shot regular copper plated .22 hp's, CCI subsonic hollow points (1050fps) and CCI Quiets (710fps).

The scope was zeroed on the rifle without the can. Once the can was on, the copper plated regular velocity round was barel hearing safe and struck about 2" high at 50 yards. The CCI subsonics were pellet rifle quiet and performed the best: they were dead on the zero at 50 yards, and the CCI Quiets had a full 6" drop at 50 yards. The CCI Quiets produced ZERO noise with the suppressor. All I could hear was the hammer dropping. It was unbelievable. I would start buying the CCI subsonics (1050fps) by the boxload if you can find it. They worked extremely well.

My dad took a video when I was shooting...I'll see if I can get it from him.

How does meeting up there at 3:15-3:30 work for you?

I believe I have a box of 250 45's (or two) in my trunk so bring the 4" Kimber, looking at one of those for my CCW instead of my 5" PT1911
Never shot an AR with a Timey trigger

That S&W 29-3 sounds like a lot of fun
I have 1600 CCI Minimags and 500 CCI Quiet-22s in my trunk so bring any .22's you want

(I have my savage bolt action)

fordnut · Sep 17, 2012

Paco: Time sounds good to me...How about give me a call about 2:30...

I got a new GSG 1911 .22. It is pretty cool. I can bring it and an old Ruger MKII that has been in my family for years...
Will bring my 4" Kimber, and the 3"...It might suprise you.
The old Smith will come also...and, the AR...you will love that trigger...It makes Clicker cry...

I also have pleanty of targets to bring along...

See you tomorrow.

Steve
