Savage MKII

[Fig]

Bought this for my kid and put a Nikon, Prostaff Rimfire on it.
I got it close with CCI Quiet in the back yard using a can, and today got it dead center at 50yds in five shots.
Once it was on he was hammering little spinners @ 25 and 50. The whole setup with 2 extra 10 round mags and sling was $375. It shoots pretty straight; a hell of a lot straighter than my 10/22.
He did great and was grinning from ear to ear.

FVSRs are really good budget guns...

spending range time with your kid...priceless!!!

I agree with spartan67 range time with my boys is great.

We have Savage Mk II also and it is one that everyone enjoys shooting great rifles.

I have a couple of them, one was my first trainer and the second is my daughter's rifle. Both shoot incredibly well considering the modest cost.

What are some good aftermarket stocks/chassis for the MKII?

 

[winniethepooh]

I’m partial to my manners

 

[Fig]

I was thinking up to twice what the rifle cost...not four times the cost...

 

[winniethepooh]

You’re telling me lol

I put one in a Boyd's tacticool. It's cheap. I modded mine to have an adjustable cheek piece.

The other got spendier. I put it in an MDT chassis. It's MUCH better, but a ton more money.

Did you see an increase in precision with either/both?

I picked up a MK II BV years ago, but really only shot it this year. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is a real shooter and does so with affordable CCI SV. Unfortunately, that nice laminated wood stock is not ergonomic when using a capable scope. The angle of the comb is wrong for scope use and it's too low. It's down to either a duct tape and padding mod or something fancier with hardware.

I tend toward fancier with hardware, so we'll see where that goes.

MPA also makes a drop in for the MK II for a decent price if I recall correctly.

Look up Rigid Alloy, I have one and am very happy with it

Mine has been a fun project, but I’m sure some would question the wisdom of spending as much time and money as I’ve already spent on such a budget friendly (in its factory config.) gun. That said.....


I really need better glass on this thing.
