Re: savage with thumbhole or not. help asap
Oh you wouldn't believe the amount of control you gain with the thumbhole stock. Its like it automatically makes you a sniper if you have one!!! Make sure you complete the pacage and get a counter sniper scope and beeman rings on it and that is the most tactical rifle I've ever seen!!!
In all honesty, it doesn't matter. Some members lie it, some don't. Go pick up the rifle in the sotre and try holding them both. See which one you like more... Easy as that!

Re: savage with thumbhole or not. help asap
Yeah it's all personal preference. If you have large hands you may not like it much. For me, I see no advantage or disadvantage over a "traditional" stock. But, I would always take wood or laminate over tupperware. So if it's a question of, thumbhole vs. plastic stock, both being similarly priced, I would go thumbhole all the way. If it's wood vs. wood, it would come down to personal preference.
Hope this helps

Awesome. Once again quick responses. I love this board. I just ordered a savage Mark II BTV with laminated stock for only $260! Can't wait to get it.

Re: savage with thumbhole or not. help asap
That is lower than what the wholesale price was when I got mine a few years ago... excellent deal.
Put a decent scope on it and you'll be set

Re: savage with thumbhole or not. help asap
Yea I'd been looking into several other rifels and my fiance was like no more guns. She knew I was going to get one though since I was doing a lot of research so she finally said I could get it since it was such a savings. I ordered it yesterday and took her out to some fancy Brazilian Restaurant she's been wanting to go to last night.
Rigt now I just have a BSA Sweet 22 bc I got it brand new for only $25. I've tried to look through the pages but I get lost with the endless possibilities of optics. I would like to spend around $150 give or take $20. What are some basic recommendation.

Take a look at the muller apv or if you want mil dots and exposed turrets the apt. Good scopes for the money.

Re: savage with thumbhole or not. help asap
I was in the same dilema last week. I put the synthetic stock with free floating bull barrel aside while they did a background check. The FBI or whoever they called put my name on hold for three days. When it cleared, I went in to check them out and decided to go with the thumbhole stock bull barreled mini sniper, hah. To my surprise it was on clearance for less than my first choice. On top of that I got a discount for the hassle.
$158 dollars plus three boxes of Hornadys later

Re: savage with thumbhole or not. help asap
Now that's my kind of gun shop. I've never been a fan of polished or stainless barrels but at that price who could argue. How does it shoot. What scope will it be wearing

Re: savage with thumbhole or not. help asap
its a matter of preference. i dont like the thumb hold but some people love the added stability. if you have any left handed friends take them into consideration and stay traditional.

Re: savage with thumbhole or not. help asap
I agree, it's really a matter of preference. I like the feel of the Savage thumbhole stock and will admit I've gotten some of my best groups when using my son's MKII-BTV. I've often thought of re'stocking my MKII-FVT with one.

Re: savage with thumbhole or not. help asap

I agree, the price was right and I was out the door. I like the thumbhole stock, its very comfortable in any position (I've been playing at night). Though I like the syn stock one to, teh wieght of the bull barrel feels nice.
I havent shot it yet, trying to find a range locally now. Im also looking for a scope to. have a few in mind, just need to make up my mind, hah.

I think youd be happier with this model. Its an all around better feeling rifle compared to the syn stock model.
Thanks man, I've got my money spent on parts for this and another rifle, hah. GLWTS
