She’s About There Savage MK II

[Firpo]

Spent a little time dialing in my new Savage MK II FV-SR and I believe I’m about there. Now all I need to do is practice practice practice. It’s been too long since I’ve spent any consistent time at the range and it shows. Somehow I managed to do pretty good although I was shaky, my eyes kept going wonky and my breathing sucked. Shot this at 50 yards sitting at a table resting the rifle on a backpack (some may like that info). Ammunition was CCI 22LR Suppressor Small Game and the rifle appears to like it pretty alright.

I almost always shoot CCI SV in my FV-SR, suppressed or not it shots dime size holes at 50 yards. Love that gun till it gets dirty and doesn’t want to pull the round out of the chamber

So apparently I’m not the only one that’s happening to.

My FV-SR loves Fiocchi 22FHPSUB (40gr HP subsonic). It will shoot all rounds covered fully by a quarter at 50 yards, for as many rounds as you have the patience to throw into that empty hole.

I did have to ditch that flimsy factory stock. A laminated Boyd's Rimfire Hunter stock with DIP bottom metal kit balanced it out superbly, with no more hollow feel.

I was wanting to get it a Boyd’s but if I recall correctly I couldn’t find one for my particular rifle. Seems they only had them for a bull-barrel. Maybe I should give them a call.

The FV-SR is simply a "tacticool" Savage MKII with a bull barrel. That means any stock they have for a MKII bull barrel will fit.

Appreciated @Glocktogo , truth be told with the barrel being fluted I didn’t realize it was a bull barrel. Cool Beans!

Yeah the not extracting issue is common in the MKII savages, simple fix is a second half moon spring installed over the factory one.

Where did you buy your rifle? Been thinking of buying a full size 22 before I retire in May.
