I went with the FVSR and i'll have it Thursday night. I like the TR stock better, but I can upgrade that later and be shooting for less $$ now. I plan to upgrade eventually.
What exactly is this bottom metal piece everyone is talking about and where do you buy the replacements? |

What exactly is this bottom metal piece everyone is talking about and where do you buy the replacements? The MKII FV stock uses a different trigger guard, bottom metal (where the magazine inserts) and the corresponding screws. If you want to switch to the TR stock, you need to order those parts separate in order to install it correctly. There's a link on page 4 to a site that sells the parts. |

I just got a TRR-SR yesterday it's a good choice. I was so excited that I stole the cheap scope and bipod off my $140 Wal-Mart MKII just to take a few pictures.
 The rail is a little bulkier than I expected, I might replace that with a regular base eventually. |

Here is my FV-SR with a Mueller 4.5-14x40 APV scope and low Burris Xtreme rings. The suppressor is a Thompson Machine ZephyrXL.

Got mine and got the scope mounted. I haven't had a chance to sight it in yet. The forearm is too skinny for the bipod to tighten down all the way. It'll work until I get another stock.

Picked up a Mark 2 the other night at Cabelas. I love the color of the stock and the fact it has a heavy target barrel and accu-trigger, but the scope is a cheap Simmons 3-9x40. I'll leave it on there until it stops working. Hopefully I'll be getting out the the range sometime this week to try it out. The best part is that the girlfriend paid for half of it for my b-day, yay!

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? I dont know what other stores charge but WalMart Online has them for $29 |

I bought the earlier FVSR from last year. The only differences are the newer has a 1 piece scope rail, fluted barrel, and tactical bolt knob. Wish I could buy that bolt knob cheap. FVSR. This will be my next .22LR. Me too. Unfortunately the best I saw on gunbroker was going to be over 300 shipped then ffl fees. Were is the best deal online for the fvsr. For the right deal I'd buy one today. My local WalMart rep told me that they only stock a few Savage models but they can get anything in the catalog. It might be worth checking there. If its available they will ship it to the store & save you that cost. |

My TR stock will be here from boyd's Thursday for my FV-SR.

This rifle is so fun. I was shooting 4" Shoot N See targets at 50 yards and got bored quick so I took all of the little 1/2" and 3/4" "pasters" that come with the targets to repair your shots and started shooting at those instead... and hitting them pretty consistently. Good times! Still trying to find a SV or HV round that groups sub MOA to take it out to 100-200. So far the subsonics are the only thing that will group really tight and they aren't going to have the power to get out to any real distance.

Even a subsonic .22 LR bullet will go a long, long ways with plenty of energy to do...whatever you would do with a .22 LR. I reported above that I shot a 1" group with Federal Automatch (which it supposed to do about 1200 fps from a pistol) at 100 yards but it must have been a bad batch or something because the last batch I shot (last weekend) I still got 3/4" at 50 yards, but at 100 yard they opened up to 4"....why? Because they were going transonic, which really screws up accuracy. You need to stay subsonic so you never have to go transonic. |

I just ordered my TRR-SR from Bud's Gun Shop. Will be running a SILENCERCO Sparrow for suppressor and Vortex 6-24x50 mil dot for optics. Very excited to see what the rig will do. How are you guys doing with the 60gr SSS ammo? I bought a brick, and understand it may function better in a 1/9 barrel, but this stuff seams very quiet and hits hard.

You'd be looking at about 54" of drop (and 777fps of velocity) at that range, assuming a 40gr. slug leaving the barrel at 1080 FPS, having a BC of .105, according to an online ballistic calculator. The supersonic rounds are only going about 20% faster. |

I put quite a few SSS through my TRR-SR with the Tac16 on the end when I went to the range last time. Accuracy was pretty bad, but you could hear the things hissing all the way downrange. I liked the sound so much I kept shooting them even though I was barely hitting paper at 100  I didn't get any key holes out of them, but I bet they would be if you took it much further than 100. I didn't really get any good results with any ammo at 100 to be honest. I still have a few brands I need to try though. |

I got a savage mark II TR from a fellow member a week or so ago. I took her to the range on Saturday and with a crappy rest, cheap Federal bulk ammo, and a Swift 3-9x scope, I was able to get 5 holes inside a quarter at 25 yards. Really good for me. The accutrigger is amazing!!
I am in love with this rifle. I can't wait to open her up at 50 and 100 yards with CCI Mini Mags (what the previous owner said she liked) Craig |

Im having issues with my FV where the bolt jams when I cycle it. I'll shoot it, then pull the bolt back, but it jams on the forward movement. Can't figure out whats wrong with it. I'll pull the bolt out, and its all lined up properly, then it will jam going back in. Sometimes it does go back into battery, then jams again a few rounds later. Its to the point where I'm thinking about sending it back to savage.

I also have a problem with mine that crops up from time to time. It will not cock.
Maybe 1 out of 6 or 7 bolt cycles the striker will remain in the "fired" state and will not cock. Mine is pre-accutrigger. |

So is the general sentiment to get the fv sr and then pickup a stock for it? I know I'd prefer the 16" barrel but I held a couple of them (sadly, not the factory threaded model) at Dicks, and the difference between the stocks was huge. The SR stock sucked, the TR stock was great, similar to my savage .308. If it was a 16" barrel I'd just grab the TR in stock at buds but I think the larger barrel would be goofy.
I just ordered my SS Sparrow so I have some time. I could always put my M4-2000 on it (I did on my 10/22) but its hilariously large on a 22LR (not to mention heavy, even the quite lite M4-2000).

The FV-SR won't save you any money in the long run. You'll just have the 16" barrel instead of the 22". In fact, the Boyd's Tacticool stocks for the Mk II are out of stock often because they're so popular. All colors are out right now. If you want a TR, you might as well just buy one. |

If you want the looks of a TR, just buy one. My FV-SR stock is fine for me, I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about. Yes it flexes a bit if I push on it, but it is no big deal. If I ever decide I want a higher cheek rest a $15 Blackhawk cheek pad will work fine. |
