Anyone know which savage this is??

[timelinex]

Cabelas is having a sale on a savage 22lr and I can't tell what model it is.

Heres the link:
http://content.yudu.com/A1xsig/Cabelas61BGlendale/resources/index.htm

The picture in the link is the 17hmr I believe. I called two different cabelas and the guy behind the counter had no idea what model it is. All the info I got is that it is threaded, does not come with a base, comes with sights, comes with an accutrigger and the bolt knob is a sphere and not the cylinder like the TR and FV's. One of the guys said it was a MKii and the second guy said he doesnt think its a mkii.

I searched everyone on the internet and can't find a model savage thats threaded, has a sphere knob and doesnt come with a base. Anyone have some better googlefu?

it's a Cabela's exclusive... not a std Savage model...


std Mk II w/ threading added... skinny bbl... sights...

damn, i'd be all over that if it didn't have the stupid sights on it

Re: Anyone know which savage this is??

oh ok, so its a thin barrel and not a heavy barrel? Thats a dealbreaker.

I'm looking for a trainer that accurate...(as accurate as a stock savage can be atleast)

thin bbl won't matter on the 22... probably won't on a 17... but I know it won't on a 22

Do you know what kind of accuracy people are generally getting from these things? Worse than the FV or TR series?

It's kind of hard to do a search considering they have no official model name!

should be about the same... my FV shoots right at MOA from 100-200

Last question... Do you know if it is tapped to add a picatinny
base to?

ya..likely a cabelas special. the picture may not be accurate too as its 17HMR or 22lr

Thanks guys. I think I'm not gonna bite on this one. I'm just gonna wait and get either a fv or tr like I originally wanted. Wouldn't want to get a bad shooter and later have to get what I originally wanted anyways.

I know those store 'exclusive' rifles usually have alot of cut corners to line the stores wallets.

Not a Cabela's special. They are all over the place here in Tenn.
I picked mine up at a local gunshop. Friend of mine got one at Sportsmans Warehouse. Another buddy got one from a dealer here on the Hide. I still have the box if anyone needs a model number.

Mine actually came with picatinny rail already installed. Everything else is the same. Can't speak for accuracy. I just put a cheap red dot on it. Fun plinker with a can.

That is a damn good price though. I had to do a lot of talking to get my guy down to $199.

Re: Anyone know which savage this is??

the thin barrel won't hurt accuracy MUCH...i mean, if you're getting a threaded one, you're obviously going to run a can....so that will also help accuracy (usually. But, as for 1moa at 100 and 200yds....def don't count on that...by any stretch of the imagination, lol. maybe with EPS or Team or Midas....but not with bulk or SV or any regular person ammo...
