[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2880753, member: 10465"] Range report: Started shooting with CCI Standard Velocity. After the new rimfire rifle ritual of shoot one; punch the bore, shoot one, punch the bore...repeat for a bit, etc. I got serious with it; it took a few rounds, 5 or 6, to get the scope adjusted then this new Savage Mk II put them all in the little red dot in the middle at 25 yds. Then I shot my Marlin XT-22tr to compare...well, it's a toss-up as far as I am concerned. Both are very accurate little rimfires; the Savage, as I said earlier, is box-mag fed and the Marlin is tube-fed. I dunno, I like them both. The Savage has the nicer stock out of the box, but the Marlin will feed shorts too though. Just a thought for the future maybe. As far as the Savage Accu-Trigger compared to the Marlin Pro-Fire trigger...again; it's a toss up. I had pre-set both for a 3lb pull. I really can't tell the difference in the two.
