I know this is not exactly the answer you are after but if you do the nylon spacer mod on this forum (page 56), it costs less than $2 and you won't have to worry about properly torquing because all you'll need to ensure is that everything is snugged up nicely. I have the same stock and bottom metal on mine and it has been absolutely trouble free having done this quick inexpensive mod and my rifle will shoot 2" groups at 100 all day.

Can anyone tell me the recommend torque specs for the Boyd tacticool and the DIP bottom metal kit? Does 18lbs sound correct? |

Guys,
I am in the processing of reading all 80+ pages, so bear with me. Quick question while I research (forgive me if its been answered). I have a Mark II BV -- appears to be in a Boyd's Rimfire Hunter from the factory. Is that correct? Can anyone post a side-by-side comparison (pics) of the Rimfire Hunter vs Tacticool? I am going to buy a 93R17 to complement my Mark II and am wondering what advantages the Tacticool stock will give me, as the Rimfire Hunter (or whatever the factory stock is on the BV) is pretty good as-is. Thanks. |

FVSR at 300 yards shooting a 1/3 idpa piece of ar500(7x12). With my first box of CCI sv I missed maybe 2 of 30 shots. Went to the next box and the thing was all over the place. Was interesting to see how the accuracy varies from lot to lot. At 100 all CCI SV is about 1 moa.

I'm going to be pillar bedding my FV-SR in rineland arms stock in a couple weeks and I have a couple questions. First, what are yall using as pillars for the MK2? Will I be able to use the same pillars as centerfire rifles just cut the length down? Or do I need smaller OD/ID ones? Secondly, I've skim bed but never pillar bed a rifle. Do you leave the pillars ever so slightly above the stock to leave space for the bedding material or do you make them level and relieve some material around them for the bedding material. Thanks guys

Just picked up a nice used Mark 2 TR.
Previously I have owned a TR and FVSR, sold those 
I was trying to remove the factory scope mounts and got three out with no issues, but the fourth stripped something fierce. This is the second Savage Mark 2 this has occured with. The first time, with the FVSR, I had to have it drilled out and it looks like I will have to do that again. Just venting :) I have a nice Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14 scope waiting on her. Craig |

It's pretty frustrating trying to get them out if you don't... I had a Ruger break SIX T10 bits in a row, even after heat was applied with a torch before I learned the WD-40 trick.

Hope to have a can myself in a year or so (gotta get to Disney with family first lol). I got the screw out by using a star bit and a hammer. Turned slowly and it worked! |

Here's mine. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to locate a boyds tacticool? Been trying to pick one up and DIP is still backordered. Boyds directly has a wait last I checked with them, and the typical google search isn't really helping as everyone seems to be out that I saw.
Would LOVE to ditch the garbage stock on my FV-SR. Also, why are some FV-SR's shipped with non-fluted barrels and a muzzle device instead of flutes and a thread protector? The Savage site isn't much of a help with this.

As for the non-fluted barrel and muzzle device, it may be a distributor exclusive. Or you are seeing the 17HMR FVSR. Supposedly some of those do not have fluted barrels. |

It's definitely 22lr and came with the muzzle device and non-fluted barrel. Doesn't make a difference to me as it'll have a suppressor on it, and flutes don't make a difference either, I was simply curious as to why it was offered in different forms, but not a word about it on Savage's website. |

My only concern is how many they receive and if it's enough to cover their backorders. |

The Tacticool is now called Pro Varmint. They are making them to order right now. It only took 9 days to get mine and well worth the wait! Absolutely get the DIP metal. It's superior in every way to the factory Savage stuff.

I was kind of surprised about the general state of the rifle. After cycling the bolt about a dozen times (no dry fire) there were scratches and finish wear all across it. Not what I expected considering my old 10PC (before I sold it) was immaculate from the factory.
Not going to knock it so long as it shoots though. *shrug* As for scopes, I'm between the Prostaff Rimfire and the Vortex Crossfire. Open to other ideas though. |

I shoot the Nikon Prostaff 3-9 Rimfire on my FV-SR myself. I had thought about others, but that scope is really perfect for the rifle. The Crosshairs are set for 50yd's, and bdc for 75, 100, 125, etc... All the ranges I'll be using it at. It's frequently on sale at Cabelas, optics planet, etc... I really think you get a lot of bang for your buck in the scope. |

Sporter style will probably get the Nikon for grouse hunting, but the tacticool will probably get the Vortex for higher magnification. That said, despite having a ton of Nikon products, I kind of hate their CS if anything breaks. |

Edit: This or the PA 4-16x mil dot to use as a mildot trainer.
After some consideration, I am probably going to mount tech sights on the rifle and see if I can cowitness or at least use a PA reflex comfortably on it. If not, the reflex will just go on the 22/45 Lite that will probably be my next .22 purchase. So basically Storz's rifle except with a laminate stock and red dot. Should give me a very nicely handling rabbit/grouse blaster and appleseed gun. Any thoughts? I am iffy on red dot height vs the irons though. Who knows, if it shoots as well as I've heard I might just pick up a second one this summer to keep scoped.

As a heads up, I just heard back from PA about the irons vs the micro red dots. With the micro mounted on a weaver #16, it is going to be a lower 1/3 witness or there about.
Per the email, from the bottom of the sight where it sits on the rail to the center of the viewing area is 21.58mm + whatever the height of a weaver base is vs the 17.2mm of the sight. Will post photos when everything arrives. Worst case, I'll see if I can find a slightly shorter base for the red dot but I think this will work. |

Anyone know where to source a stock for the FVSR? Boyds wants $45 to ship up here, and only does UPS.
Might just end up getting an unfinished tacticool from Midway or one of the kits from DIP, but that really isn't how I wanted to go.

Love that paint job. What kind of stock pack is that and does it hold the mags securely? Craig Quote HistoryQuoted:

Regular skinny barrel MK II for me
Cut to 18" and threaded to SiCO specs Spectre II and bushnell 4-12x http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll241/ppcseniortrip/Wall%20MKII.jpg Love that paint job. What kind of stock pack is that and does it hold the mags securely? Craig The stock pack is a knock-off eagle from ebay. It's designed to hold individual .308 cartridges and I removed every other stitch.
Holds them very well. Also has a zipper pocket for other stuff |

The reflex is still slightly high, so I'm going to try to shave a mm or two off the base. I have about 4-5mm to work with before the red dot mount contacts the receiver, so it should be plenty.

Nice! |

Nice! If you do order the tech sights, spend the extra $20 to get the tool and extra aperture set. The stock peep sight is really damn tiny, but overall they are incredibly well built. Just need a single 6-48 hole to mount the front sight. |

I just got my Boyd's Pro Varmint stock in and the DIP package but the mag well screw closest to the trigger seems to be too small. Does anyone know the proper size for the wood screw? It looks like a #6 1/2 will fit but I wanted to see if any of you have run into this already.
