Actually it's the APV. I will say this, great clarity, super price, but really short eye relief. Once it is set at the right spot for you and your natural cheek weld, it is fantastic. I could hunt with mine, which says it all. Joeboboutfitters, I paid 124.95 with sunshade, and I used Leupold rifleman low rings $19.95. This rifle as pictured $476. I will definitely buy 2 more for my kids in the near future. The accuracy at this price point with cheap ammo is unbelievable.

Well I've got my Boyd's stock, Harris bipod, and DIP bottom metal in. Now waiting on the Mueller APV and the rings I ordered. All I'm missing is the rifle.
Ordered 2 weeks ago from the local Dick's (I know, they suck but it was available there). Was told it'd be about a week. Called Friday, they said, "Oh, sorry, we never actually submitted the order, we'll do so now." Sigh. Gives me more time to experiment with a camo job I suppose. |

Anyone but a 17hrm model? Thinking about picking up a 2nd one and I can find 17 ammo all the time here.

The action dropped right into the stock, I ordered the MKII trigger guard and bottom metal from Boyd's and it fit nicely without modification. I get a much better cheek weld with the new stock and it really makes the rifle look nice and seems to be very well made. When my Sparrow comes in it'll be complete. Thanks to all in this thread for the tips on cooking up a really cool little rifle.... View Quote I like it! |

The 93R 17 FV, SKU 96700 has the normal stock. Someone in this thread has one of the 17HMRs, I saw it back on one of the pages of pics. Anyone know if the SKU 96722 has the fluted heavy barrel or if Boyd's has a tacticool stock for the SKU 96700? |

Just bought one with the lighter synthetic stock.
Haven't put an optic on it yet, just shot a few rounds through the can to se how quiet it is. Didn't like the ubertacticool model with the heavy stock and side rails. Too heavy for my purpose. |

Got mine all put together ready to go, pics when back from work.
Got the APT in the Burris XTR low rings. Does anyone know of a deccent cheek piece I could put on or will I have to re-stock it. The scope is still pretty high even with the low rings. |

DIP has a kydex cheek riser set, but for $50 , you could do yourself for $15, which is what im gonna do. |

I was in the market for a .22 bolt action. Saw this thread. Got one from Buds for $225 today. Can't wait to shoot it.
|
|
Ok!
So I took the FVSR out to the range today with some very impressive results (to me anyway) Plan was to shoot the 15-22 with federal bulk, but somehow the Savage worked his way :) FVSR has a PA 4x16 scope factory mount. I got my Zero today at 220yards on a 6" steel plate with consistency, had a flyer or 2 that was pretty noticeable but expected from federal bulk. So with that dialed in I took it out to 300 yards And found that I bottomed out the adjustments on my scope but still managed to put some hits on the 10" steel plate!! I was beyond impressed with the accuracy of this little sucker! I now would like a Boyds and a 20MOA mount and I should have no problem hitting at 300yards all day! Next time I will bring the CCI mini mags and see what happens! My wife was hitting the 220 all day long! That is all and I just wanted to share! |

In the market for a MKIITR. What should I consider a good price these days?
|

They are selling around $250-$275 in stores. I bought mine last week at buds for $225 and after the transfer it was $250. I couldn't find any locally though, so I had to order it.

Any idea of where i can find a comparison of all the models? I went to the Savage site and didn't find it...
I saw what i thought was a MKII - F For $149.98 and thought it can't be any good at that price what model should i be looking at? |

Mine threads were also long so I cut them down to 0.4" |
