incase anyones wondering how good this rifle is, i used it in a competition a few years back competing against $1000 rifles and i shot better than most. maybe it was luck or the other shooters sucked but it felt good.
I think a nice light trigger is a great start to accuracy. A pro can work around a shitty trigger. A nonpro will be able to get better accuracy even with poor form if the trigger is light enough. On my 77/22 there isn't an easy way to adjust it so I had to stone the surfaces and replace a spring. End product is a bit lighter than the savage but was more work.
Cheapest 22lr autoloader is also a savage model 62/64 paid $100 out the door probably put around 3000 rounds through it shot multiple varmints and hogs. Only problem was a worn out trigger spring around 2500rds. I called savage and they were very interested to examine my rifle seeing as it was never meant to be used that hard. I sent it to them and 2 weeks later i got it back all original but they sent me all of the internal parts brand new on the side a new magazine and a gen 2 stock with a picatinny rail on it. They're alright by me.
I got mine at Walmart for $60. They were sick of it taking up space in the cabinet, but no one wanted it. I went there to pick up a cheap plinking gun, but had $120 budget to work with. Needless to say, it was a match made in heaven. I even had enough left over to buy a bunch of boxes of ammo, and a gun case for it, and my pistols. I picked it for the bolt action too. I've seen too many semi-autos jam and light strike too many times to trust it.
@@hunters.6894 I got one and the magazine feed lips shaved off and it just spewed all the live rounds out right after i bought it. Was my first gun so even though i can even get it to shoot accurately i still like it.
I think the first step to actually banning assault rifles is learning what an assault rifle is. Luckily the lawmakers have no interest in learning more about what they want to ban.
I hate the drop in rabbit I..Q. lately. The government should hire rabbit tutors for a few years to straighten all of that out. I knew when Bugs Bunny retired this would happen.
I don't care what any of you silly gun snobs say, this is a great rifle. This thing is more accurate than you will ever be. The thing is stupid accurate. AMAZING rifle for the price.
Ive got 1 without the accutrigger { I own alot of .22s} and for a basic utility truck / camp gun you cant beat it . im going to mount a scope , maybe . bought it at an estate sale the 1 year they came out for cheap figd oh well ,and im keeping it .
I've actually found these mags to be my favorite 22lr magazines. Well built and never had a failure in about 5 years of ownership. They're like mini AK mags.
You obviously haven't dealt with the mags on these things. Flat chamber wall with no feed ramp. The rounds quite often slam into it and get dented. They might have changed it since I had mine but I doubt it.
@Bob Bobbertson i got a cz457 shoots tight groups out to 50 yards compared to my $79 savage markii. got the cz for $479.99, i started out first year hunting with the savage and although it was something i didn't really like it. had issues on loading and ejecting, always had to carry a cleaning brush incase things jam up. It got really bad i started doing single shot hand loading and threw the magazine away. accuracy was so so.... 1 inch groups at 20 yards tried all models of ammo i could get my hands on and finally Eley clubs was the most consistent that the gun would shoot. im sure there are nice accurate markii's out there mine just happens to not be accurate out of the box and loaded with issues
I shot one before but cNt remember if the trigger was easy to pull. I need a gun for my home. My grandmother as a very bad hand and is 80 and I need a gun will little kick back and easy to pull the trigger. Is this the gun I should get
Bought one and even though my other 22s are far higher value. I'm a bunny hunter in Iowa which aligns with the cold. Wanted a bolt with no wood so wouldn't care about it getting dinged in the woods. Very light to carry; left irons on it and have been extremely happy with it. It gets shot far more than I thought. Flawless so far.
Friend gave me one of these with a stock that had been chewed by someone's dog a few owners back. I keep it by the door for quick varmint disposal and it works fine. Accurate and reliable, so I'd say it was money well spent.
@@bryce2jz depends on where you live. It is still a very real gun and can go through walls. It's about as loud as a firecracker, but with a supersonic crack. I wouldn't recommend target shooting in the back yard, but depending on the attitude of the neighbors and the layout of the neighborhood, you might use it for pest control.
These aren't $99 anymore. I know you can find them online for a little cheaper than in stores but my LGS had the F model priced at $219 and I picked up the G model with the wood stock for $199. Wonder why it was cheaper. Usually wood stock models cost more than the composite stock models.
I like that you're environmentally conscious about your targets. Hunters need to understand that polluted and contaminated natural areas will not produce game that is healthy or in large enough number for demand.
Tim W. I appreciate your video. I went and bought one. Not bad aim. good for squirrel and more. i like it for just a cheap rifle for target practice, ammo is cheap and find it to be a fun little gun. Thanks for the video.
I recently won my fantasy football pool at work. $300 to spend and I decided I wanted a new .22 rifle. My BL22, while a fine piece of workmanship, is hopelessly complicated in my eyes and I'm just tired of dealing with cleaning it. My Remington 512, something I recieved from my grandfather for a past birthday, has never been my favorite as I found the action gritty and stiff due to the tube magazine feeding mechanism. So I walked into my local shop with that $300 burning a hole in my pocket. First the owner tried pointing me to one of these rifles. The bolt felt gritty, I didn't care for the magazine, and as stated the trigger couldn't be adjusted any lighter. I then took a look at the rifle directly below it. It was an Armscor Rock Island M14Y. Even without lube straight from the box the bolt action was smooth as silk. The stock, while short as it is a youth rifle, is super light and maneuverable making it especially handy. The iron sights were rather large but still on point and the rifle was dead on on shooting a mite low and to the left. I bought one for myself as a regular use gun and a backup to be a safe queen. Alls told after taxes and fees I walked away with 2 .22 rifles for $320 and some loose change. I tell you, I haven't regretted the decision yet. Every time I go to rimfire shoots, everyone wants a turn on her due to the clean trigger, smaller profile, and great accuracy for a sub-$150 rifle. As of now, I've only thrown a rubber recoil pad on to lengthen the stock and a Gamo pellet rifle scope zeroed to 100 yards. I recently went back to the same shop to look at maybe picking up some ammo and they had just picked up a used but well cared for Savage .22 bolt action. Taking another look, I can say there is a vast difference between a new rifle and used as the action overall felt much better. Not as gritty and the magazine wasn't as big of a detractor as I originally thought. I decided to pass but I think it would still make a great squirrel rifle. Still, if your in the market for a new .22 and are on a budget, I could not reccomend the M14Y more vigorously. The only downside I've experienced thus far are the magazines can be a bit on the pricey side costing $20 each for 10 rounders and $24 apiece for the 15 rounders.
Say what you want, Had one, Have a Pole set out at 200 yards with a bracket holding a 4 " wide x 10" long piece metal, iron sights, 8/10 Hits. SOLID GUN.
I got my MK II F from Walmart without the Accu-Trigger. Apparently they get theirs without it. I like the pull though, and that's fine because it cuts about $50 off the price. Although Walmart had mine on clearance for about $60 too. LOL
That's actually a pretty old design. It's a Cooey/Lakefield Mark II, made inLakefield, Ontario, Canada andnow branded as Savage. If those candy canes were actal targets, you wouldn't have missed.
A lot of people talk sh*t about any Savage made rifle. Maybe they’re right in saying so, or maybe not. I own only one Savage brand weapon; this exact model .22 that’s in the video. I purchased it in 2005, and I still own it ‘til this day. And believe me when I say that I have slaughtered COUNTLESS Squirrels with it, Opossums, Turkeys etc, and some of them were running/moving as I shot them. I’ve been in the Army Infantry for about 14 years now, and of the weapons that I shot/own, including weapon systems in the Army Inventory, I can say with confidence that this is the most accurate rifle I have ever shot.
I dropped a $100 Boyd's wood stock and proceeded to: inlet, pillar bed, dremel out the grip and cheekpiece, further polished the trigger group/magazines/feed ramp, put a $20 sling swivel walmart bipod, and then put a variable 3-9 on it. My average group is .65" @ 75 yards. It took a lot of time, not a lot of money, and I got an amazing rifle that loves cheap Federal automatch.
@@GodschildinNC thanks and what kind of groups would i be expecting from this gun at 100 yards? Because im looking for a 22 rifle as my starter firearm and i cant decide yet
@@556andy this would be a fine rifle to start with. This rifle will shoot every bit as well as you can. Find a good teacher, attend an Appleseed shoot. Technique and skill are more important than the rifle you are using. Good shooting.
Dude...think real hard. If you kill paper plates and they dont reproduce fast enough... what the hell are you going to do come picnic season? Think man!!! PAPER PLATE LIVES MATTER!
There's nothing wrong with a firearm for 100 bucks. Pretty is what pretty does and I actually like the way it looks. I shot one of friends who has one exactly like it and it's everything you could ask for in a .22 rifle. I just don't need another .22 but if I did I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the savage. I like bolt action .22s anyway. Its reliable and simple.
At 5.04 sounds like you have alternated the rounds a bit . I swear those sound like CCI Stingers !! ... But for all of you that read this posting ... if you want .22LR ammo. that hammers down , try Aguila Super Max it hits HARD !!
Yes, The Supermax is great stuff and so are the Aguila Interceptors. They are rated just slightly faster than the CCI Velocitors but are in all actuality on par with them. Either CCI Stinger and Velocitor or Aguila Super Maximum Hyper Velocity and Interceptor are great rounds.
Hi think it's your head that's a little bit off You should look at some of the comments and realise this is a good rifle I have hade mine for over 4 years and took out over 1000 rabbits and squirrels good gun
Obviously my private range it's not a concern but public ranges it's worth making an effort. Even avoiding glass and most plastics My range is a shitpit from only one person. Scale that up to hundreds of people and you can see why plinking pits are so hard to find anymore.
I bought the mkii GXP which has no iron sights but a cheap Tasco scope this Black Friday, $130 with MIR. It doesn't have the accutrigger but after seeing your video I'm not that upset about it.
brother, i have the exact same rifle. first and only bad part is the finish wears off quickly on the part exposed to the air, take the stock off and its ok underneath. good parts is its a tack driver. also mine says 22lr only, but cycles shorts flawlesly, that is a pleasant surprise
A year later Academy and walmarts are pretty much empty of all guns. Due to everyone buying them all up. However I did manage to buy the last one of this particular gun Mark II-F. at the local Walmart. They had 6 other rifles and 7 shotguns
That is a good deal. I don't agree at all with your opinion of the Accutrigger. I think it is a great trigger on the rifles I have used with them. Marlin makes some great .22 rifles. I had a Savage model 64 and just about gave it away because I hate the buckhorn sight. The Savage model 64 has one of the best magazines in the business. Savage should get the company that makes them to manufacture all of their rim fire magazines.
It's not a bad trigger. My only point was it was already adjusted all the way down stock so don't expect you will be able to adjust it lower than stock. Gun is very accurate and an awesome value for the price
The slanted mag is better for capacity to size it can hold the same a straight mag and be smaller (just some advice for when you're shooting put down that elbow!)
It was very smooth out of the box. I did use a bit of grease and shot 50 rounds before making the video but I don't think it made it any smoother that stock.
I used one of these and it was amazing. Shot golf balls at over 200 yards no problem. I actually outshot everyone there including other people using the gun and the owner. It was an amazing gun
Mine still needs to sights fine tuned next time I take it out as it shoots a bit to the side as you see when I'm trying for the Candy Canes but it is very accurate an consistent so it should be easy to dial in with a punch and a hammer.
The accu-trigger is the best. The cheap version of the Mark ii from Walmart doesn't have it. The trigger pull of that gun is about 8# and not adjustable.
I have a Mark II and have 60-year old eyes. I use over-the counter reading glasses but don't really want a prescription just to shoot. I love iron sight shooting, but I wonder if a small optic or front fiber optic sight is something you can recommend.
Honestly I'm a big fan of iron sights and was having some issues seeing them myself in the last few years. I wear contacts but it took addressing the issue specifically with my doctor before we found out why I had blur issues when shooting. While an optic might help if you need glasses I recommend just getting some. You can get a glasses eye exam at walmart for ~$40 and you can buy safety frames starting at $9 and Safety lenses are $9 each. So for $70 you will have safety rated shooting glasses that will work on all you guns. You can also order complete sets of glasses starting at $10 from zenni.com. You just need to give them the prescription from the doctor at walmart. Also by getting an exam you can make sure you don't have other issues like Glaucoma or Diabetes. Caught early they are easily treated, after a while you have done the damage and will possibly lose your vision. Next time you are buying ammo walk over and ask if they have any appointments they usually take walk-ins and you will be in and out in under 30 minutes. Now that I have contacts that fit better and everything is addressed my shooting is back to where it was a few years ago.
I have always had semi-automatic Marlin 22s. A couple of years ago I spotted one of these at Walmart for 139 without the adjustable trigger. Super accurate and a nice little gun I love it. now it would be legal to hunt with my 22 in Pennsylvania since it is a bolt-action action and not semi- Auto. Then wouldn't you know it to the very next year they made it legal to hunt small game with semi-automatics in PA. The only thing I don't like is the Ten round magazine it is like a little banana clip and just sticks out too far for my preference. I just ordered a 5 round clip hopefully that will not catch on everything like the big one does
I see that Mossberg does a semi 22lr for the same price. 702 I think. Can someone tell me what advantage a bolt action has over semi-automatic in 22lr? Reliability? Local laws? Sports rules? Something else? Which of the two actions would be better for a backup SHTF rifle?
I have the older version of the savage mark II. Extremely accurate. It's hit ever shot me an my dad have made with it trying to hit a shot. Aside from when I had a scope on it. The scope was junk. If i had the iron sights it wouldn't have missed. I almost bought the mark II F just an hour ago but they wanted almost 200 bucks for it. An they had the $50 mail in rebate. Of course seeing the price you'll argue it's not accurate. But it is. I shot a quarter with it using iron sights at like 10 or 15 yards. My eye sight sucks or ida moved back further plus i didn't have my glasses.
1. you can get hearing damage from a .22 if you shoot it enough. 2. it's the internet so eyes/ears are recommended or someone will whine that you are a bad example. 3. hearing loss is cumulative just because you don't hear ringing doesn't mean you are safe.
Mine has been a great gun for the price, other than the sights being a tiny bit off on windage out of the box as you can see in the video. Super smooth for a cheap bolt action.
I've got a Savage 22LR bolt gun. Great rifle and the Accu-trigger is magic. By the way, clean up your yard. Don't leave all the shootin' debris layin' around. Gun owners are supposed to be civilized and responsible.
I have seen Savage .22s at my local Walmart for $99. .22LR still difficult to find in my area though. Bolt .22s did not catch my interest until I started attaching scopes and shooting birdshot and subsonic ammo.
I'm in Illinois. But it's that PSA that I got the rifle from. CBC in Charleston called me and was supposedly going to send me an upper to review but they never followed through so if you stop in there ask them what gives :)
The savage is very accurate, although it's a cheaper 22, it's one of the most accurate and reliable I've won't many CMP competitions with mine and it's stock...
These are 250$ now where’d you get it for 99$ I’m just looking for a bolt action 22 so it’ll cycle low powder rounds so I can squirrel hunt near my deer hunting spot without making as much noise thanks(do you have any idea on where to get one for cheap right now I meant lol)
I got one of these in poor condition for $80 cash and walked out of the shop. I've shot quite a few critters with it and have used for a beater gun since.
God i wish i had gotten this one The one i got didnt have the accutriger or iron sights but mine came with a scope(wish it had irons) and a wood stock, which i prefer
Honestly the accutrigger isn't that big of a deal. I find that a good shooter can still outshoot a bad shooter even if he has a terrible trigger to work with. Just shoot the hell out of it and if after 10-20 thousand rounds it's still bothering you then see about polishing and respringing the trigger
The FVT looks to have nicer bluing and target sites. The sites are generally one of the most expensive parts of a target rifle so you probably got a decent price vs adding them to a base model
The FVT has a heavy barrel and peep sights, and, in the Savage catalog that I am looking at, it has a MSRP of $455 against the $295 for the "F" model, so may be you did not overpaid too much after all... 🙂
Your guns are nice sir but I payed 22$ for my bolt action 22 and it fires everything from 22l-S-LR plus 22 magnum never seen any of the newer guns today able to fire all four types of bullets
You live in the Philippines and you think that you're going to be able to get a firearm in the mail I don't live in the Philippines but Common Sense tells me that's not going to happen🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@556andy MOA stands for minute of angle. The measurement is just over an inch at 100 yds
@@GodschildinNC thanks and what kind of groups would i be expecting from this gun at 100 yards? Because im looking for a 22 rifle as my starter firearm and i cant decide yet
@@556andy this would be a fine rifle to start with. This rifle will shoot every bit as well as you can. Find a good teacher, attend an Appleseed shoot. Technique and skill are more important than the rifle you are using. Good shooting.
@@GodschildinNC thank you sir 👍
Mine was much more but came with a couple things. The MK 2 is extremely accurate. Slap a scope on it and you have a 200 yard paper plate killer.
Dude...think real hard. If you kill paper plates and they dont reproduce fast enough... what the hell are you going to do come picnic season? Think man!!!
PAPER PLATE LIVES MATTER!
Fun video. I shoot all kinds of stuff to. Nothing is sacred on my property. Thanks for posting.
I got this rifle but I paid 254.00 for it in idaho. I paid the same for the synthetic black ruger 10/22. At a different store.
One of the candy canes got tired of waiting to get shot and fell asleep while standing up. What does that say about your aim?
There's nothing wrong with a firearm for 100 bucks. Pretty is what pretty does and I actually like the way it looks. I shot one of friends who has one exactly like it and it's everything you could ask for in a .22 rifle. I just don't need another .22 but if I did I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the savage. I like bolt action .22s anyway. Its reliable and simple.
At 5.04 sounds like you have alternated the rounds a bit . I swear those sound like CCI Stingers !!
... But for all of you that read this posting ... if you want .22LR ammo. that hammers down , try Aguila Super Max
it hits HARD !!
Yes, The Supermax is great stuff and so are the Aguila Interceptors. They are rated just slightly faster than the CCI Velocitors but are in all actuality on par with them. Either CCI Stinger and Velocitor or Aguila Super Maximum Hyper Velocity and Interceptor are great rounds.
He standing just behind the edge of our view frame, shooting those candy canes at like 5 feet away.
Were do I get it
Hi think it's your head that's a little bit off You should look at some of the comments and realise this is a good rifle I have hade mine for over 4 years and took out over 1000 rabbits and squirrels good gun
I am glad those candy canes are biodegradable because that range sure looks clean- Wouldn't want to make a mess! LOL!
Obviously my private range it's not a concern but public ranges it's worth making an effort. Even avoiding glass and most plastics My range is a shitpit from only one person. Scale that up to hundreds of people and you can see why plinking pits are so hard to find anymore.
Great review. I just got one, cant wait to use it!
$150 at Wal-Mart for the savage mark2f is the regular price. I know because I bought the same rifle at Wal-Mart for that exact price.
With Tax mine was a little more than 160. Bought it yesterday.
This guy is literally the hamburglar
I don't understand it but it made me laugh
@@pringles3254 SpongeBob reference i think
I bought the mkii GXP which has no iron sights but a cheap Tasco scope this Black Friday, $130 with MIR. It doesn't have the accutrigger but after seeing your video I'm not that upset about it.
brother, i have the exact same rifle. first and only bad part is the finish wears off quickly on the part exposed to the air, take the stock off and its ok underneath. good parts is its a tack driver. also mine says 22lr only, but cycles shorts flawlesly, that is a pleasant surprise
finish is still OK on mine, but I tend to always keep my guns in soft cases when traveling to keep them pristine
You can probably get a lighter trigger spring from Mcarbo !! About 10 bucks plus shipping ! Get tnat trigger down to 2 lbs
I got one for 149 but it didn't come with the accutrigger unfortunately.
Like I said it really isn't that big of a gain unless the stock trigger is super heavy. I've only shot this one.
theres a big difference between my .22 normal trigger and 270 with accutrigger.
+Countryboy2206 I know and it sucks because my 110 30-06 has one.
Savage 64F (polymer stock) semi-auto w/o Accutrigger is 119.99 at Academy Sports
A year later Academy and walmarts are pretty much empty of all guns. Due to everyone buying them all up. However I did manage to buy the last one of this particular gun Mark II-F. at the local Walmart. They had 6 other rifles and 7 shotguns
I went to get one these other day and got delayed so now I wait for the call
wondering if it can shoot 22shorts & longs gotta bunch fm a neighbor recently ?? TY 4 info Great video TY
That is a good deal. I don't agree at all with your opinion of the Accutrigger. I think it is a great trigger on the rifles I have used with them. Marlin makes some great .22 rifles. I had a Savage model 64 and just about gave it away because I hate the buckhorn sight. The Savage model 64 has one of the best magazines in the business. Savage should get the company that makes them to manufacture all of their rim fire magazines.
It's not a bad trigger. My only point was it was already adjusted all the way down stock so don't expect you will be able to adjust it lower than stock. Gun is very accurate and an awesome value for the price
The slanted mag is better for capacity to size it can hold the same a straight mag and be smaller (just some advice for when you're shooting put down that elbow!)
Appreciate that note on the accutrigger original factory setting.
Curious as to whether you worked that bolt in before you shot the video.
You're making it look very smooth if that's "out of the box" condition.
It was very smooth out of the box. I did use a bit of grease and shot 50 rounds before making the video but I don't think it made it any smoother that stock.
It's not a bad trigger but a bit of a bummer that it's not getting any lighter without some gunsmithing rather than simply adjusting it.
I used one of these and it was amazing. Shot golf balls at over 200 yards no problem. I actually outshot everyone there including other people using the gun and the owner. It was an amazing gun
Mine still needs to sights fine tuned next time I take it out as it shoots a bit to the side as you see when I'm trying for the Candy Canes but it is very accurate an consistent so it should be easy to dial in with a punch and a hammer.
Gun&ShotTV Yeah I'm definitely gonna buy one soon. I'm looking to get one at Dick's, it comes with a nice scope bundle for around $250 i believe.
Not a bad price. I think the wood stock models look nice but for the price I'm happy with the plastic.
Gun&ShotTV Actually he said the savage with a good scope was $200. Comes with a Nikon scope I think, was like a $150 scope
Hugh Mongus
you 'used' the owner as well? That's pretty disgusting mate!
Rock Island/Armscor M14y 22lr.
Around $100.00. Threaded barrel.
The accu-trigger is the best. The cheap version of the Mark ii from Walmart doesn't have it. The trigger pull of that gun is about 8# and not adjustable.
Love the ref shirt 😂😂
I have a Mark II and have 60-year old eyes. I use over-the counter reading glasses but don't really want a prescription just to shoot. I love iron sight shooting, but I wonder if a small optic or front fiber optic sight is something you can recommend.
Honestly I'm a big fan of iron sights and was having some issues seeing them myself in the last few years. I wear contacts but it took addressing the issue specifically with my doctor before we found out why I had blur issues when shooting. While an optic might help if you need glasses I recommend just getting some.
You can get a glasses eye exam at walmart for ~$40 and you can buy safety frames starting at $9 and Safety lenses are $9 each. So for $70 you will have safety rated shooting glasses that will work on all you guns. You can also order complete sets of glasses starting at $10 from zenni.com. You just need to give them the prescription from the doctor at walmart.
Also by getting an exam you can make sure you don't have other issues like Glaucoma or Diabetes. Caught early they are easily treated, after a while you have done the damage and will possibly lose your vision.
Next time you are buying ammo walk over and ask if they have any appointments they usually take walk-ins and you will be in and out in under 30 minutes.
Now that I have contacts that fit better and everything is addressed my shooting is back to where it was a few years ago.
A little close to the metal target, there, Tex! lol should be back another 10 yards because of "splashback"...good video, like your form...
Thanks for watching
I have always had semi-automatic Marlin 22s. A couple of years ago I spotted one of these at Walmart for 139 without the adjustable trigger. Super accurate and a nice little gun I love it. now it would be legal to hunt with my 22 in Pennsylvania since it is a bolt-action action and not semi- Auto. Then wouldn't you know it to the very next year they made it legal to hunt small game with semi-automatics in PA. The only thing I don't like is the Ten round magazine it is like a little banana clip and just sticks out too far for my preference. I just ordered a 5 round clip hopefully that will not catch on everything like the big one does
Magazine
Factory setting on the accu trigger is 3.5lbs pull the trigger adjusts down to 1.5lbs pull so I have no idea what you are talking about.
Make sure to wrap that sling around ur arm to control the massive recoil the 22 is known for
Not much of a marksman, are you
you can make the trigger lighter trust me. Just a little minor detail work. Next I'm working on threading the barrel.
Sick intro
That was a boss intro
Is there one i can buy as of this time thats in stock if so where
Where you in the Marines?
I see that Mossberg does a semi 22lr for the same price. 702 I think. Can someone tell me what advantage a bolt action has over semi-automatic in 22lr? Reliability? Local laws? Sports rules? Something else? Which of the two actions would be better for a backup SHTF rifle?
Bolt actions will generally be more reliable and more accurate, semi's are fun but especially for shtf I'd take a bolt gun
Hi. Is there any way to do a trigger job on it OR get a drop in trigger kit??
I have the older version of the savage mark II. Extremely accurate. It's hit ever shot me an my dad have made with it trying to hit a shot. Aside from when I had a scope on it. The scope was junk. If i had the iron sights it wouldn't have missed. I almost bought the mark II F just an hour ago but they wanted almost 200 bucks for it. An they had the $50 mail in rebate. Of course seeing the price you'll argue it's not accurate. But it is. I shot a quarter with it using iron sights at like 10 or 15 yards. My eye sight sucks or ida moved back further plus i didn't have my glasses.
This one has been super accurate for the $100 I have in it
Wonder what this sells for in 21
How longbwould this chines gun last ?
I have been looking for the. 22 bolt action I had as a boy. It had it's magazine in the stock. Does anyone know if one?
I've never seen a bulpup .22
I gotta ask are you a city slicker gone country? Never in my life had i seen somebody use hearing protection for a .22
Robert Richardson HICKOCK lolz
1. you can get hearing damage from a .22 if you shoot it enough.
2. it's the internet so eyes/ears are recommended or someone will whine that you are a bad example.
3. hearing loss is cumulative just because you don't hear ringing doesn't mean you are safe.
God forbid a city slicker gone coubtry or whoever, gave a shit about their hearing amirite?
Robert Richardson your gonna go deaf
Robert Richardson If I'm plinking more then 10 or 20 rounds I put my ears on for .22
Is this gun upgradable as far as barrels stocks etc
I SEEN a 22 rebuilt it looks like a auto mat rifle with a silencer on it
I got my mark 2 F for like 142 after tax. brand new just gotta oil it and shoot it because I haven't yet. I got the F because I like how light it is.
Mine has been a great gun for the price, other than the sights being a tiny bit off on windage out of the box as you can see in the video. Super smooth for a cheap bolt action.
My first gun. Not to bad of a weapon when it comes to small game hunting
I've got a Savage 22LR bolt gun. Great rifle and the Accu-trigger is magic.
By the way, clean up your yard. Don't leave all the shootin' debris layin' around. Gun owners are supposed to be civilized and responsible.
I have seen Savage .22s at my local Walmart for $99. .22LR still difficult to find in my area though. Bolt .22s did not catch my interest until I started attaching scopes and shooting birdshot and subsonic ammo.
They will let you shoot pretty much any load which is great for things like CB caps which sound like a pellet gun.
Is the front sight back enough that you can get it threaded?
The gun is such a savage
You said Palmetto State Armory. We have those here in Charleston, SC. Are you in SC?
I'm in Illinois. But it's that PSA that I got the rifle from. CBC in Charleston called me and was supposedly going to send me an upper to review but they never followed through so if you stop in there ask them what gives :)
Bolt action, great 4 kids... Saves ammo!!!
The savage is very accurate, although it's a cheaper 22, it's one of the most accurate and reliable I've won't many CMP competitions with mine and it's stock...
mk ii f? just picked one up brand new for only $147! Can't wait to sight the thing in!
never seen a gun under 100 bucks
These are 250$ now where’d you get it for 99$ I’m just looking for a bolt action 22 so it’ll cycle low powder rounds so I can squirrel hunt near my deer hunting spot without making as much noise thanks(do you have any idea on where to get one for cheap right now I meant lol)
Where did u buy the savage mark 22
Where do you find this gun for 100 dollars?
Man I need find an outdoor range in my Illinois area
Alright, I’m sold.
What people don't realize is your little 99 dollar gun can hit every shot all day long you don't need a big bore 😂 to kill and never miss
I got one of these in poor condition for $80 cash and walked out of the shop. I've shot quite a few critters with it and have used for a beater gun since.
Not a bad deal for a nice plinker
you should review a mossberg 802 plinker with scope
God i wish i had gotten this one
The one i got didnt have the accutriger or iron sights
but mine came with a scope(wish it had irons) and a wood stock, which i prefer
Honestly the accutrigger isn't that big of a deal. I find that a good shooter can still outshoot a bad shooter even if he has a terrible trigger to work with. Just shoot the hell out of it and if after 10-20 thousand rounds it's still bothering you then see about polishing and respringing the trigger
What is the difference between this and my MkII FVT? I paid $350 for the FVT. I thought I got a good deal but now I feel I overpaid. :(
The FVT looks to have nicer bluing and target sites. The sites are generally one of the most expensive parts of a target rifle so you probably got a decent price vs adding them to a base model
The FVT has a heavy barrel and peep sights, and, in the Savage catalog that I am looking at, it has a MSRP of $455 against the $295 for the "F" model, so may be you did not overpaid too much after all... 🙂
Mk2 has been in production since the 60s. It wouldn't be around that long if it wasn't a proven design
Can i get its extra magazine easily online
Your guns are nice sir but I payed 22$ for my bolt action 22 and it fires everything from 22l-S-LR plus 22 magnum never seen any of the newer guns today able to fire all four types of bullets
I have a marlin 81 that is the same
ruclips.net/video/SSTJ-Xyxz4E/видео.html
I call bullshit unless you are pulling out split.22 lr round's and It is a .22 W.M.R.! ( Please dude a s.l. lr. Gun wont even chamber a .22 mag.
I have to agree with what he said you might have a gun that can shoot s,l,and lr but they want even chamber a 22 mag round no gun will shoot all 4
Its a good gun, but nothing beats a 4-10 for small game
That may well be, but .410 ammo tends be pricier and less readily available than .22LR.
@@gregb6469 good points, .410 is always my go to gun, but like any shotgun it tends to blow up the meat, so i see why a .22 is more appealing.
do you shipp in phillippines?
You live in the Philippines and you think that you're going to be able to get a firearm in the mail I don't live in the Philippines but Common Sense tells me that's not going to happen🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cool shirt, you goin bowling?
