Re: Savage MKII Varmint or CZ 453 Varmint????
I've had a couple of savage 22lr (fvt and btvs) and haven't had problems with feeding, extraction, or ejection. But mine are the newer e-receiver, which was supposed to cure the problems. I have 8 different mags, mostly 10rnd, and havent had any problems with them either. Maybe I have just been lucky. I had a problem with my btvs 17hmr not feeding the 20gr stuff, but no 22lr issues.
I like both the savage and the cz, will probably be a personal choice issue, so handle both if possible. If you decide to get the savage, swap the trigger for a rifle basix, it is a huge difference and will shrink your groups.
