Mark II TR – 22 LR

[martinez_ian]

I didn't see much in the search function for this little rifle. Anybody out there with any experience with them? Looking for a trainer and the price at least is awesome, wondering how it shoots. Thanks.

Re: Mark II TR – 22 LR

there have been a few posts with user experiences expressed. Just do a search in the advanced field under the: <span style="text-decoration: underline">Sniper's Hide Rimfire Section</span> and when you type in the term for search make sure to put them in "". For example do the search for "tr" in the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Sniper's Hide Rimfire Section</span> category.

Hope this helps

To the guys who own one,
how do you like the quality of the stock, I heard it easily cracks in half where the action screw goes in on the after market stock runs that they made, not sure if this also applies to the TR's

I've had mine since March and removed it from the stock half a dozen times without a problem. About 2500 rnds down the tube and it can still out shoot me. Here's a few targets shot @ 100 Yds

This one is 13 rds.

I just picked one up yesterday, but haven't got it to the range yet. Can't wait to try it.

Took mine out yesterday. Shot 7 different kinds of ammo.
Just about all were good to go. I will try and put up
picture of target tonite. I'am really happy with mine.
Shes a shooter. Thinken about getting the .17 now.

Re: Mark II TR – 22 LR

Yeah I took a look at the .17 version today and you're right dfoosking, the action is not the smoothest. I wonder if it would get better over time. Anyway I could forgive that small detail if it can shoot, which being a savage I'm sure it can. Thanks for the info guys.

Re: Mark II TR – 22 LR

Everyone loves a .22 trainer....

Got my Savage mk II TRR in .22lr about a month ago. Runs nice with good ammo. Stay away from heavy subsonic as it won't stabilize (aguila, 60gr, etc). Get 10 round mags from Gunbroker dutch auction about 14.00 ea (Gander or Dicks is $20+). The 10 rd mags stick a bit before seating into the well - this is due to the mag sheetmetal hanging a bit on the well just below the bbl. Squeeze mag with pliers (carefully), but leave an RCH between metal and red plastic. Bolt is sticky out of the box but runs nicely after a little lube and using greasy ammo (like wolf).

Custom .22 trainers (repeaters) are nice to build, but they can get nutty with cost, some $2,000+. I got about 500 in the gun, and put an optic and bipod from another rifle on it.

50 yds, no bench.

Re: Mark II TR – 22 LR

Action in the .17 felt stiff out of the box.. after only 100 rounds it feels sweet as.
