Good shooting rifles. The tactical stock, IMO, is not worth the extra money. Just buy the FVSR, which is the heavy threaded barrel with a regular stock. Also, someone here should know that one site where the owner makes his own stocks, and sells the imperfect stocks for next to nothing. He has lots of nice products, all made of wood IIRC.

Best .22 I have owned. Although I've only owned Mk IIs
Mine all in all cost around 800-900$ and it was worth every penny. I also own a regular MKII and the TR is far nicer looking, and far better shooting.

I have a Mark 2 TR model with BSA Sweet 22 6-18 power sope.
This is by far the most accurate .22 I have ever owned, and I have had a half dozen decked out 10/22s and a number of dedicated AR 22s. The targets from my savage at 50 yards look like the targets at 25 yards from the other guns. Love it!

Nice rifles,but check it over really well before you buy. Most people end up with great shooters,but the Mark II I bought a few weeks ago has to be sent in to savage for warranty work already

I've seen a few with bad crowns , just inspect it before you buy . Savage addressed the issue on the rimefirecentral forums , seems someone was forgetting do to a step before shipping them out. Make sure you get a target crown.

how are these rifles? is it worth the extra 300$ for the tactical stock? i often find myself holding my hand off the stock on my traditional stocked remington .22 so i think it would fit my shooting style better. How do you figure $300 extra for the stock? My MK II TR was $419 + Tax at a local retail store. Can get get one with a heavy fluted barrel and large bolt knob with a standard stock for $119? I am not being an A$$, just trying to figure what other savage you can get that has any of these items besides the stock for that price. |

the TRR is about $50 more than the TR and has the longer rail with the side rails.
you can get an aftermarket picatinny rail mount, either flat or with some angle built in for extended range work for about $30, so it seems to be a better idea to get the plain TR and upgrade the rail. if you want to mount a light, there are several offset rail mounts that you could mount to the rail under the scope. for tactical varminting not everyone will like the "tactical" stock, but i don't see a problem with it, and the large bolt handle is nice. they're about $400 on Davidson's gallery of guns, and $425 or so at Dicks and those come with a crappy scope. (and a tan finish on the stock) i'm in the desert, soooo i'm just going to go to Dick's for mine. |

What scope is that? That is a Muller APT 4-14x40. They are sweet scopes. I have one on my Mark 2 FVSR. For the guys that want the stock, but do not want the price tag of the TR, Boyds was selling TR stocks on their crazy deals page for $60. That is the route I went since I knew I wanted my barrel to be 16" and threaded anyways. |

I have the Mark II FV, which is a varminter with a laminated stock. It's a pretty rifle.
It will also hold 1 MOA at 100 yards with Federal Auto-Match from Wal-Mart. ETA: Who has the best prices on the 10 round mags? |

any dealer can order this. Last year it was a special run, which is why it was identical to the regular FV. Now there are reaching out to the suppressor crowd, and made it better, and a regular model.

Mine runs fine for about 30-40 rounds with a suppressor, then the bolt will not close. Wipe the crud off the bolt face and rear of barrel, and GTG.
Chamber too large, allowing blowback? |

I have a FV SR coming in Wednesday. I also just ordered a Boyd's Tacticool stock for it (6 week wait).
Two questions for you fellas: How does the FV barrel compare to the TR accuracy wise? I've read somewhere that I need another bottom metal to put on the Boyd's stock when I get it in. Which one is preferred? |
