I love it now,it looks just like my savage ba stealth 10 in 6.5 creedmoor.and I do dearly love it except i have mine in left-handed,so does savage the one you are shooting in this video in left-handed bolt-action.i only have 1 eye because of a accident I had years ago and took out my right eye I ware a patch on my right eye but I'm really right handed but have to shoot left-handed,except for my pistols then I hold them with my right hand but look out of my left eye.id love to have that 22 rifle you have if I can get it in left handed.someone told me that savage was making a 22lr in semi-auto made like that for long range rifle shooting with a big round thick barrel to now and it looks like the one you got in this but it semi-auto ok!!!!!
Really nice to see how the Savage .22 has evolved. I have a Model 4C that is 78 years old. I'm the 3rd generation shooting with this rifle. I'm teaching my 6 years old daughter to shoot with it. It has the original trigger that I modified to have a softer action and a 4x32 scope on it. I use it weekly for shooting birds, rabbits, mongoose, ground squirrels, vermin monkeys and the odd jackal. Shoot with CCI Stinger rounds. Scope is zero'd at 70m and longest kill is a jackal at 128m. Just love this rifle!
The vast majority of even hardcore .22LR shooters in my 30+ years experience could care less for anything past 100 Yards and definitely don’t shoot 250-300yards with .22LR! The O moa rail makes perfect sense for this rifle. Your an absolutely awesome exception dude. Savage confines to make the most accurate rifles out of the box @ the price point and evolve with better accutriggers(1.5#’s stock is superb), threaded barrels etc. I’m going to buy one of these asap with Burris glass to train my daughter. .22LR FTW 100%
Bought myself this rifle Last week here in France, but mounted it with a VORTEX DIAMONDBACK 6-24 X 50 scope and I am extremely happy with its precision at a 100 meters
I love shooting my .22lr. Got my kids into shooting them but they got bored and like the bigger bore calibers. Nothing replaces shooting the .22. Thanks for great videos.
Truly appreciate you shooting it from a quality rest. It takes some degree of human element out of the equation & really helps focus on the capability of the firearm itself. Excellent shooting !
The whole point of target shooting is that the shooter masters the human element in the equation, the capability of the firearm shouldn't be the issue, a rest is just that, it's not supposed to make it easier or more accurate, it's just a flat support, the sideways, and fore and aft, and fulcrum movement of the rifle should be part of the shooter's control of the weapon, the butt should be in the shooter's shoulder and only supported by the shoulder, not sitting on a surface or supported by a rest. That ridiculous 'Lead Sled' makes everyone think they are a good shot, when all it does is remove the skillset of the shooter, you might as well clamp the rifle to a concrete base and attach a string to the trigger and remotely operate it from 20ft away, that is basically all you're doing there, it's not you shooting the rifle, it's the rifle shooting itself. When you can shoot a 60 year old 15lb .22lr Target Rifle at 50 metres (54 yards), sub-sonic, supported entirely in your shoulder, with just a completely flat support under the stock (no bipod), in a group like that, then it's an achievement, but using a 'Lead Sled'? Nah, that's just BS.
@@Judge_Dredd there is total truth in what you say. BUT I can work on my own personal skillset after the rifle & ammo are proven. But I sure as hell, am not going to start with a rifle, that shoots inherently poorly. The point of a sled, is to prove out the rifle & the ammo. Once that is conclusive, then you begin to practice on the human element. I want to know how the rifle shoots. NOT how the individual shoots. Everyone shoots a sub half inch group at 100 yards. Just ask em.
@@preez77 Ya me either. I've got an older model in stainless with a stainless scope. literally the only thing I don't like about it is the silly banana mags.
The difference between people who CAN shoot 22lr at 300 yards and the people who think they can is bigger than the Grand Canyon. Nice shooting. Keep it up!
I messed around with 22LR at 350 yards once. The target was at the base of a dead pine tree and used the branches as holdover points. I forget now but the holdover was a good 15-20 feet above the target. 15” group after getting dialed. Moved it out to 450 yards and never found the target once. 900 is difficult to imagine and allot of luck, in my utterly meaningless opinion. Cheers.
@@flighttherapybullisticfpv133 I'm going to look for that video. It's as if that 900m(sure its not 900 yards?) shooting with a 22, reminds me of those tricks shots with a basketball out of a helicopter to a net really far away. I not sure there isn't some principles of magic or good video trickery at work somewhere. I will give it a look. Edit: Well I did take a look. I watched different segments just to get the jist of things. It was not magic in the magic or trickery sense, but it was amazing shooting. One session of shooting was 911 yards(not meters). Constantly having to make adjustments. From what I saw it was interesting, couple different rifles, different ammo 22lr & 22mag. I agree it was nuts! Thanks
Savage has really been making some great rifles over the past 20 years, looks like this is another impressive model, especially for the $599 MSRP! The Arken scope is one I've seen a few reviews for and everyone seems to be very impressed with it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this new rifle. Wind problems at 100yds with a 22lr, who'd a thunk it? LOL!
Got a MK II a few days ago... very happy with it, though the barrel is just kissing the stock on the far end left side so I got to see what that's about. Whole reason I bought it was the threaded barrel. 17" barrel plus suppressor with CCI standard velocity is a riot lol. Sooo quiet, I'd swear it's quieter than several .22 air rifles. (Unmoderated)
I have the MDT system on my CZ527 223. It made a big difference in the accuracy of the gun. It was accurate before, but it is now a tack driver with one ragged hole at 100 yards very common.....MOA or less at 200 yards. The stability offered by the MDT stock system is even superior to glass bedding the factory stock. I did that and bedding did help. The MDT made it almost perfect...more comfortable than the factory stock as it is multi adjustable to fit just about anyone. Way to go Savage !!! teaming up with MDT....excellent idea.
That design on the butt stock is called a "Hand Hook." Use your non dominant hand to press the rifle into your shoulder. Also, load your bipod. Loading the bipod is slightly pushing your body forward so the bipod flexes. Putting pressure on the rifle so everything is firmly positioned to your body. Watch Mile High Shooting Center videos. Frank is the host and will explain the concept further.
Enjoyable video. I'm almost 60 and have had my grandfather's old Stevens 87A since I was in middle school. Rabbits and squirrels feared that gun when I was a kid, LOL! I've been looking at something I could throw a scope on and I'm a bit partial to Savage because of owning grandpa's old Stevens guns. Just old farm guns kept by the kitchen door... for varmints! I like the super lightweight trigger also. Like you said, a lightweight trigger is a must for precision shooting. Nice scope also, especially at that price. All things to think about! Again, great video, thanks!
I've yet to see anyone review this rifle at 200-300+ yards like I need for PRS. One reviewer explained a bolt scrape problem where the bolt was slightly damaging the bullet in the top of the mag as the bolt loaded one in the chamber, and was saying no way you could be accurate at long distances with damaged bullets. If it didn't do that I'd say this was a helluva steal for a competition 22 in a decent chassis.
Fully Auto Boltamatic Assault Rifle! Adjustable stock, pistol grip, "silencer" and scarey black. Those picatiny rails make it incredibly dangerous. Did I miss anything? Oh, yeah high capacity rotary magazine! )
@@withoutfurtheradoforever I'll bet that green box of ammo is that heat-seeking follow you anywhere ammunition too! I learned about that from a democratic politician. Boy am I clueless! LOL
Did you know that the german company Weihrauch, famous for their top of the line airguns, also produce rimfire rifles. They are very well build, and their prize here in Europe is around 25% more than an CZ 455. Compared to an Anschutz, that will cost the same as 5 CZ's If you ever get your hands on a Weihrauch, please do a review. Keep up the good work.
Honestly, neither. If Ruger would drop the American rimfire into an MDT chassis, or if Savage had built the B22 to function with 10/22 magazines, I'd be sold on either. But with the choices both manufacturers have made, my advice is "buy something else". If you want a Savage or Ruger, I'd be looking at the Ruger Long Range Target or the Savage Mark ii TRR
I have CZ 452, MARK 2 BULL BARREL AND THE PRECISION IN WMR. I love them all. I really like the savage triggers. You can improve by installing Apache trigger kit to lower your trigger sensitivity to below 1 lb. My wmr precision is set at 1.5 lbs out of the box. A great shooter @ >100 yards.
I got a Ruger Precision Plinkster did a review using CCI Basic and CC Green Tag but with not as good results at 50yds. But he did not do 100yrs? I was going to pull the trigger and buy the Savage B22 until I found out the biggest hole in this platform. Its the magazines. The are none available even a Savage. And the Canadians banned all guns. Savage has an USA plant and Buttler Creek probably makes the Savage Mags. The have a banana magazine but no availability. Been watching for several months. No mags! So until Savage figures out the need to support what the sell? Or switch to a Ruger 10/22 magazine like everyone else? No Sale!
That unit is on bro. Savage nailed it. Im a lepould guy but open to others...looks like a good combo but i question the optics if you cant see .22 holes at 100 yds. My lepoulds and a weaver i can see flys on trees at 100 yds.. id like to see more ammo ran through the savage..shooting in the low .3s with my savage.17 at 100...its a 93r btvs...
dude not bad for in the wind don't care what rifle. way back in the day my Winchester 52b and anschutz 54 match loved cci green tag both used the same 20x unertl scope. miss those days so many small bore clubs no longer around in northern Il.
I have found with my CZ 457, the kind of ammo used is very instrumental in getting good accuracy. I have found that my gun loves Federal 22 high velocity ammo and any sub sonic ammo. It is the ammo that has the most effect on accuracy when it comes to 22 rim fire I have found.
Picked up a 457 22wmr it's become my favorite rifle very quickly only ammo I've found to not be very accurate is the few nonlead options they're really only good under 25 yards
I was supposed to buy a 22 precision rifle. Dern gun store had a kimber with a tiny scratch that took 300 off the price so there went the precision money. But that was last month so in a few days money in hand I'll be looking again. I think some of the comments about Ruger have been helpful. I gave away a 77/22 that was good enough for hunting rabbits but was never a good paper puncher. I very much liked seeing the Savage make a nice group at 50. Groups are just where it is at.
I wish you would’ve shot groups with more types of ammo with this rifle. As mentioned by someone else I would like to see a side by side comparison of this with the Ruger precision rimfire. Personally which one do you like better?
@@nephisilver3051 You're probably right about cz .22]s, they are the only .22 manufacturer with choked barrels. I have been extremely lucky with Savage though, and have not found better for the price. My Mark II can shoot 5 rounds @ 40 yards in the size of a dime with stock iron sights, so long as my old eyes cooperate and I use good ammo. I can't complain about that.
I think Ruger would have been a huge success if they had gone the same route and had MDT, or one of the other quality chassis manufacturers build a real aluminum chassis for it. The Ruger can be extremely accurate, but the factory plastic chassis and it's bedding is it's Achilles heel.
B K You should upgrade the trigger on your CZ. Check out YoDave trigger kits. They’re about $20US, comes with 4 shims and 4 springs. Basically let’s you go down to 1lb, or up to 4. I’ve put that kit in 5 different CZ 452s and only had one where I couldn’t get rid of all of the creep (probably 1/32 left). Really can’t recommend them enough. Takes 30mins to an hour to instal (some fiddling). I believe the 513 uses the same trigger mechanism as the 452/455.
Another sold. I love Savage rifles but I'm genuinely enthusiastic about testing that optic setup. 0 stop, huge tube and side focus for half a grand... Are you kidding me? That beats switching out the same $1200 scope between 3 or 4 hunting and plinking rifles all damned day in North Georgia- math elsewhere may vary, but with my budget it's good 'nuff. This is actually the 3rd or 4th review of the scope I've seen but I've been waiting for it to debut here and I think you picked the perfect rimfire to review it on. Thanks, bud.
Got it in .22WMR. Wish ammo manufacturers would put some effort into making match ammo. 50 yards standard ammo does pretty good but by the time you're at 100 yards groups are like 3-4x bigger.
Hahaha I did that yesterday getting an original 1944 Rock ola m1 carbine, last week was a 1946 marlin 39 and the week before was a 1901 Winchester 1890 in 22short, this has been a horrible month as a collector
A grand for one of the few accurate 22’s? Nope doesn’t add up. Sickening how in our country we always have far to many options of poor performing products, in a technology time where great products should be the norm. It’s a 22 for god sakes. I’m happy with my savage 64 $135 with similar grouping & a China scope $35. Yes I said it. At a grand I’ll be looking at a 300 mag. But great review. Keep up the good work. Great content !
Agree with you---why they don t test side by side vintage ones with the new "wonderguns" many years ago a Saurio modelo 6oo rifle /es a clone of Stenens model 87 produced one hole groups at 50 meters,had a German microgroove barrel,anyhow would put to shame most of those modern .22 s..........
Great review, thank you, thinking of adding one to my safe. My range is only 70 yards so will most likely not need a scope that good. As soon as canning season is over going to put up a new back stop. Love shooting .22 and also my 444 marlin one extreme to the other.
The Tikka T1x is made by Sako, I'm sorry but they're not even in the same class. My Tikka groups as good at 100m as any of my Anschutz's or Sako's, the T1x is the best gun out there for under 500.00 no contest, it's better than most 1000. guns.
@@kevink552 I just wish they made one in 22 mag. I have a ctr that i love so i was gonna get a t1x but there is juat 17 hmr and 22lr and i prefer 22 mag
Thnx brother that thing is amazing that makes me want to shoot rimfire again. Further yet can you think of shooting that in 5.7 x 28 now that would be a tack driver at 150-200 yards. I was taking magpies out at 150 yards with my Marlin. 17 hmr. another rimfire tac driver. I was using CCI or Hornidy ammo.
Nice shooting ! You should redo the Ruger Precision Rimfire range shooting again using the Lead Sled rest, probably make a difference from the bags, no pushing or squeezing the gun/bags for nestle pressure.
It was your second shot at 100yds. Looks pretty good, need to take my rifles to a place where I can shoot 50 and 100yds. All I've done is indoor range at 25yds. I've got a couple of candidates to shoot (10/22 modified, BRNO #2 trainer, Norinco NS 522, Mauser ES340N and Mauser ES340B. I'm curious to see how they do at 100yds. I LOVE MY 22lrs. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.😉😁👍
This looks to be a very nice combo of rifle and scope. I have a Ruger Precision in 22 mag and I love it but not so much the trigger. I also have a Savage 93 in .17 HRM and I like it except the trigger, the magazine and the bolt release. It's VERY tight. But it is good out to 300 yards. This rifle looks like it has fixed all of my dislikes! Maybe I will be looking to purchase one. Thanks for the review!
I bought a wmr version from Bud’s. About $480. My Mark 2 with standard velocity will group just as well. However, at 100 yds, WMR does much better. I will be trying several different ammos to see what works the best. It’s still cold here, so when it warms up, I will be out there more.
Great view. Really nice rifle. A bit too much for me. I'll probably end up with a tactical solutions rifle and a scope that has a far less busy reticle.
Great video! Nice gun I have 3 savage guns .17hmr thumb hole stock laminated, ss.308,ss Axis 22-250. I had the same trigger issue so cut a coil to a coil and a half off the adjustable spring! Super light had to turn it up trigger was going off on bolt slam.(no bang) accutrigger caught as its supposed to!
My mark 2 loves cci standard velocity. Keep the barrels CLEAN. After 4 or 5 fouling shots, it will group tightly at 50 yards. Not hard to group within an inch circle. Standard velocity ammo is cheap($7)and shoots as well as the green tag. I highly recommend cleaning the barrel and try different ammos. Every rifle has its favorite ammo even within the same brand and model. Also, as the barrel warms up, POI will spread. I usually take 2 or 3 rifles to let one cool when I notice the change in POI.
Thank you. Believe it on not, each gun I get for a video, I have about 5 days in of work. Videos usually take me 2 full days to film, edit, and produce. It's a lot of work, but I enjoy it.
22plinkster I’ve been subscribed to your channel for just over 6 months now. My loss for not finding this channel sooner.

I talk your channel up to many friends here in Iowa. Keep up the fine work! Oh, I can’t find any CCI Minimags here in Iowa for my Glock 44
Target accutrigger has been around for years. I think they claim 6 OZ, but most people keep it up closer to 1 lb. I guess they've never offered it in a 22 though.
You mentioned using the Arken scope on an air gun. My experience is that an air gun can destroy scopes that are not air gun rated. Many quality scopes for center fire rifles are damaged by air guns. Am I off base here?
@@22plinkster FWIW, the problem you are referring to with air guns is with spring piston airguns only, and it only applies to old scopes made before all of the scope manufacturers got wise to the issue with the problem of the brutal whiplash double recoil from spring piston airguns. I don't know of any scopes being made today lacking the essential double bracing of the lenses that allows a scope to be used on a spring piston airgun. I would bet the price of the Arken scope that it would stand up just fine to the severe double recoil from even a Gamo Hunter Extreme.
Here is another option for adding elevation to your optic setup. FX airguns sells rings that have elevation adjustment. They can be adjusted very finely and the overall elevation range they can achieve is quite high or low. The rings are called “FX No Limit”.
Great vid...as usual👍 Would agree on the msrp...as I built one myself..basic savage mark 2 bolt action..aluminum chassis and a much cheesier scope that what 22 plinkster showed us...but all said my home build rang in at 550$ total..... The accuracy...luuuv it..similar conditions here in socal with winds so at 100 yds..can be hard to make quarter sized groups..and my savage at 50 yds is a quarter hole - maker... I still want this newer rifle tho!
I'm finally picking this rifle up on Sunday but in 17hmr. It's my first 17hmr so I'm crazy excited, I've been stocking up on 17hmr ammo for 2 years while I was being really picky about a rifle then this was introduced and it's just perfect. I might have some parts cerokoted a bronze/copper mix but I cant wait to play with the trigger. The accutrigger has always been trash on savage rimfires but I've only heard good things about this orange blade accutrigger.

One reviewer explained a bolt scrape problem where the bolt was slightly damaging the bullet in the top of the mag as the bolt loaded one in the chamber, and was saying no way you could be accurate at long distances with damaged bullets. If it didn't do that I'd say this was a helluva steal for a competition 22 in a decent chassis.
I feel like you just cost me money.
only if you buy one spend the extra and get the V22

Fully Auto Boltamatic Assault Rifle! Adjustable stock, pistol grip, "silencer" and scarey black. Those picatiny rails make it incredibly dangerous. Did I miss anything? Oh, yeah high capacity rotary magazine! )

M-lok. That's a military feature.
@@withoutfurtheradoforever I'll bet that green box of ammo is that heat-seeking follow you anywhere ammunition too! I learned about that from a democratic politician. Boy am I clueless! LOL
It's got a colored trigger which might attract someone to my responsibly stored firearm to shoot a squirrel or something.
I have the Arken SH4 and love it. Had a little problem with and they stood behind it 100%. sent me a new one no problem no questions asked.
Did you know that the german company Weihrauch, famous for their top of the line airguns, also produce rimfire rifles. They are very well build, and their prize here in Europe is around 25% more than an CZ 455. Compared to an Anschutz, that will cost the same as 5 CZ's
If you ever get your hands on a Weihrauch, please do a review.
Keep up the good work.
I have a Weihrauch 17hmr. Most amazing gun I own. Build quality is far above anything else, including my Lithgow, CZ and savage
You’re a great shot, so for you to say that it’s super windy your groups are excellent! Great video, thank you for your review, I learned a lot.
So if you were to choose 1 precision 22 between the Ruger and the Savage, which would you pick?
Honestly, neither. If Ruger would drop the American rimfire into an MDT chassis, or if Savage had built the B22 to function with 10/22 magazines, I'd be sold on either. But with the choices both manufacturers have made, my advice is "buy something else". If you want a Savage or Ruger, I'd be looking at the Ruger Long Range Target or the Savage Mark ii TRR
First thing I noticed: MKII bolt. I love my MKII. If this gun is anything like an MKII with a box mag then it's the only better rifle than an MKII
I love my MK2 also. Next one is probably going to be a CZ though. And i want an Anschutz hunting rifle one day.
You can get an MDT chassis for the MKII. That is what I plan to do for mine.
I’m keeping my CZ 452. It’s got a walnut stock. :)
wood warps
But it looks good doing it. 😇
I’d get the CZ varmint for the same money as well, this is nothing but an old savage with a MDT chassis. The CZ is a higher quality rifle.
I have CZ 452, MARK 2 BULL BARREL AND THE PRECISION IN WMR. I love them all. I really like the savage triggers. You can improve by installing Apache trigger kit to lower your trigger sensitivity to below 1 lb.
My wmr precision is set at 1.5 lbs out of the box. A great shooter @ >100 yards.
There’s a rebate on these right now and you can find them for 190ish new
Would love to see a side by side comparison between the Savage B22 Precision and the Ruger Precision 22.
I got a Ruger Precision Plinkster did a review using CCI Basic and CC Green Tag but with not as good results at 50yds. But he did not do 100yrs? I was going to pull the trigger and buy the Savage B22 until I found out the biggest hole in this platform. Its the magazines. The are none available even a Savage. And the Canadians banned all guns. Savage has an USA plant and Buttler Creek probably makes the Savage Mags. The have a banana magazine but no availability. Been watching for several months. No mags! So until Savage figures out the need to support what the sell? Or switch to a Ruger 10/22 magazine like everyone else? No Sale!
How about a review on a CZ 457 Pro Varmint or a Ruger Precision.
Go to the archives-- he did those a year or more ago.
@@knokname6466 I watched the Ruger video, thanks! Still cant find his review for a cz 457.
That unit is on bro. Savage nailed it. Im a lepould guy but open to others...looks like a good combo but i question the optics if you cant see .22 holes at 100 yds. My lepoulds and a weaver i can see flys on trees at 100 yds.. id like to see more ammo ran through the savage..shooting in the low .3s with my savage.17 at 100...its a 93r btvs...
That flyer on your 2nd 5 shot group at 100 yards sounded hotter than the rest of the rounds. Listen again, maybe a little over charge
dude not bad for in the wind don't care what rifle. way back in the day my Winchester 52b and anschutz 54 match loved cci green tag both used the same 20x unertl scope. miss those days so many small bore clubs no longer around in northern Il.
Fantastic stuff that Green Tag !! happy it's available again
Nice video and thank you for taking the time to pattern a second group! I knew it was the wind but that 2nd group confirmed it! Excellent shooting
Good point on the rail. I like to play at 200 yds with a .22 lt is very interesting what it can do.🇨🇦🤠outstanding group!
Never heard of Arken✊🏻
My wind causes me to belly ache too!
Enjoy the channel keep it real.
Looks like a heavy barrel 93 in a chassis
No CCI "STANGERS". :0)
I have found with my CZ 457, the kind of ammo used is very instrumental in getting good accuracy. I have found that my gun loves Federal 22 high velocity ammo and any sub sonic ammo.
It is the ammo that has the most effect on accuracy when it comes to 22 rim fire I have found.
Picked up a 457 22wmr it's become my favorite rifle very quickly only ammo I've found to not be very accurate is the few nonlead options they're really only good under 25 yards
Another great review. Your the best on RUclips in my opinion .
James Johnson on 22 lr . If hes not the best . Hes way up there but still , same here . Hes my mentor of the 22s
From Thailand, I would like to know about the accuracy of the gun between Savage B22 and CZ457 MTR. What would be more accurate?
We need a full comparison between this or the ruger precision, and the CZ 457 chassis... see if the CZ is worth the extra money.
Someone Else yes!
I have a CZ 457 At one 16".22lr and a Savage B17 precision 16" in 17HMR and the build Quality on the CZ is much nicer.
Wow! That rifle will Shoot! amazing 50 yard group. Ty for the video.
what about using "precision" rifles like this to cut off a card bit by bit
you can do that with any gun might take 1 shot or 123423324 shots but you can do it :D
@@koopasayer5999 well i think we know it can be done.... mind blown.
I was supposed to buy a 22 precision rifle. Dern gun store had a kimber with a tiny scratch that took 300 off the price so there went the precision money. But that was last month so in a few days money in hand I'll be looking again. I think some of the comments about Ruger have been helpful. I gave away a 77/22 that was good enough for hunting rabbits but was never a good paper puncher. I very much liked seeing the Savage make a nice group at 50. Groups are just where it is at.
I’ve had my Arken Ep 4 for a few months and I love it. I’d compare it to my viper pst gen 2 at half the price. Awesome scope for the money!
I wish you would’ve shot groups with more types of ammo with this rifle. As mentioned by someone else I would like to see a side by side comparison of this with the Ruger precision rimfire. Personally which one do you like better?
Andi a CZ rifle the CZ cost less andI will mop the floor with both those rifles
@@nephisilver3051 You're probably right about cz .22]s, they are the only .22 manufacturer with choked barrels. I have been extremely lucky with Savage though, and have not found better for the price. My Mark II can shoot 5 rounds @ 40 yards in the size of a dime with stock iron sights, so long as my old eyes cooperate and I use good ammo. I can't complain about that.
A head to head with the Ruger would be cool
I think Ruger would have been a huge success if they had gone the same route and had MDT, or one of the other quality chassis manufacturers build a real aluminum chassis for it. The Ruger can be extremely accurate, but the factory plastic chassis and it's bedding is it's Achilles heel.
B K You should upgrade the trigger on your CZ. Check out YoDave trigger kits. They’re about $20US, comes with 4 shims and 4 springs. Basically let’s you go down to 1lb, or up to 4. I’ve put that kit in 5 different CZ 452s and only had one where I couldn’t get rid of all of the creep (probably 1/32 left). Really can’t recommend them enough. Takes 30mins to an hour to instal (some fiddling). I believe the 513 uses the same trigger mechanism as the 452/455.
Another sold. I love Savage rifles but I'm genuinely enthusiastic about testing that optic setup. 0 stop, huge tube and side focus for half a grand... Are you kidding me? That beats switching out the same $1200 scope between 3 or 4 hunting and plinking rifles all damned day in North Georgia- math elsewhere may vary, but with my budget it's good 'nuff. This is actually the 3rd or 4th review of the scope I've seen but I've been waiting for it to debut here and I think you picked the perfect rimfire to review it on. Thanks, bud.
Well now I see something else I would like to have.
That section of the stock is called the Plinkster pocket😂😁
WOW, ACCURATE!!! Good job Savage!
Got it in .22WMR. Wish ammo manufacturers would put some effort into making match ammo. 50 yards standard ammo does pretty good but by the time you're at 100 yards groups are like 3-4x bigger.
this rifle can do dime sized groups at 100 to 150 yards with no wind. its really a great rifle. i got my kid one for his birthday.
Ive spent over 1400 this month on guns, now my wife is gonna flip....
Hahaha I did that yesterday getting an original 1944 Rock ola m1 carbine, last week was a 1946 marlin 39 and the week before was a 1901 Winchester 1890 in 22short, this has been a horrible month as a collector
Good for you
Just wait for a month or 2 and buy her some expensive shoes.
Hahaha I divorced her in Sept so now it's my time , no more headed to the range with an extra empty case to bring another one home
I wonder why 😂😂😂
A grand for one of the few accurate 22’s? Nope doesn’t add up. Sickening how in our country we always have far to many options of poor performing products, in a technology time where great products should be the norm. It’s a 22 for god sakes. I’m happy with my savage 64 $135 with similar grouping & a China scope $35. Yes I said it. At a grand I’ll be looking at a 300 mag.
But great review. Keep up the good work. Great content !
Agree with you---why they don t test side by side vintage ones with the new "wonderguns" many years ago a Saurio modelo 6oo rifle /es a clone of Stenens model 87 produced one hole groups at 50 meters,had a German microgroove barrel,anyhow would put to shame most of those modern .22 s..........
Love that B22 Precision! Nice and quiet...
Im 63 used savage all my life. Best gun ever for the money
Do you personally like this Savage B22 or the Ruger Precision Rimfire better?
I would like to know as well.
Good question...inquiring minds would like to know sir...
B22 the Ruger is a training rifle not for shooting small holes Ruger does not send a good shooting barrel with the rifle.
@@ctsteve1967 I'm pretty sure he is talking about the B22 precision rifle in the video...that seems to be for precision plinking just like the RPR.
@@Munchie85 RPR is not a Precision shooting Rifle. It is a training rifle
Great review, thank you, thinking of adding one to my safe. My range is only 70 yards so will most likely not need a scope that good. As soon as canning season is over going to put up a new back stop. Love shooting .22 and also my 444 marlin one extreme to the other.
Would love to see a side-by-side of this vs. the Tikka T1x
The Tikka T1x is made by Sako, I'm sorry but they're not even in the same class. My Tikka groups as good at 100m as any of my Anschutz's or Sako's, the T1x is the best gun out there for under 500.00 no contest, it's better than most 1000. guns.
@@kevink552 I just wish they made one in 22 mag. I have a ctr that i love so i was gonna get a t1x but there is juat 17 hmr and 22lr and i prefer 22 mag
Thnx brother that thing is amazing that makes me want to shoot rimfire again.
Further yet can you think of shooting that in 5.7 x 28 now that would be a tack driver at 150-200 yards.
I was taking magpies out at 150 yards with my Marlin. 17 hmr. another rimfire tac driver. I was using CCI or Hornidy ammo.
I have a tc benchmark that fills that orange dot at 100 yds all day !
I have a MDT Savage MK II FV. I’d say it’s the ammo. Try SK LongRange or Center-X
Nice shooting !
You should redo the Ruger Precision Rimfire range shooting again using the Lead Sled rest, probably make a difference from the bags, no pushing or squeezing the gun/bags for nestle pressure.
Nice rifle. Thanks brother for your excellent review. God bless you.
It was your second shot at 100yds. Looks pretty good, need to take my rifles to a place where I can shoot 50 and 100yds. All I've done is indoor range at 25yds. I've got a couple of candidates to shoot (10/22 modified, BRNO #2 trainer, Norinco NS 522, Mauser ES340N and Mauser ES340B. I'm curious to see how they do at 100yds. I LOVE MY 22lrs. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.😉😁👍
This looks to be a very nice combo of rifle and scope. I have a Ruger Precision in 22 mag and I love it but not so much the trigger. I also have a Savage 93 in .17 HRM and I like it except the trigger, the magazine and the bolt release. It's VERY tight. But it is good out to 300 yards. This rifle looks like it has fixed all of my dislikes! Maybe I will be looking to purchase one. Thanks for the review!
I bought a wmr version from Bud’s. About $480.
My Mark 2 with standard velocity will group just as well. However, at 100 yds, WMR does much better. I will be trying several different ammos to see what works the best. It’s still cold here, so when it warms up, I will be out there more.
Sleds are a great way to show accuracy, that savage is a tack driver for sure
Would love to see the comparison of the A22 vs A22 precision for accuracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or B22 vs B22 Precision
I would like to see
Savage B series vs mark ii
Great view. Really nice rifle. A bit too much for me. I'll probably end up with a tactical solutions rifle and a scope that has a far less busy reticle.
The "busy" recital is especiall in on the fly adjustments. I shoot a similar to nrl22 in Canada and its almost needed
@@aaronarcher2356 I'm aware, I have one on antoher rifle.
Great video! Nice gun I have 3 savage guns .17hmr thumb hole stock laminated, ss.308,ss Axis 22-250. I had the same trigger issue so cut a coil to a coil and a half off the adjustable spring! Super light had to turn it up trigger was going off on bolt slam.(no bang) accutrigger caught as its supposed to!
You should shoot your favorite rifle for a comparison of the wind alongside the savage.
u sale 22 gun brands like a boss.
Why did I look at this vid? Now I gotta have one of these.
Just picked one up this week 🍻🍻
very nice. I must add that my CZ452 lux shoots just as good.
I call it a tailhook - that part on the stock you mentioned
Can't believe you don't have a MILLION or more subs yet!!!
Looks like a great rifle. I checked this out when picking a new precision 22lr and ended up deciding on a cz 457 mtr. Couldn't be happier with it.
This Savage vs. Ruger blow for blow slugout is great for customers. I love it.
Savage is my second choice, Vudoo v22 is my first choice
Clean the barrel and swap your ammo. Try the Federal Value pack ammo 36 gr. See if the groups tighten up.
My mark 2 loves cci standard velocity. Keep the barrels CLEAN. After 4 or 5 fouling shots, it will group tightly at 50 yards. Not hard to group within an inch circle. Standard velocity ammo is cheap($7)and shoots as well as the green tag. I highly recommend cleaning the barrel and try different ammos. Every rifle has its favorite ammo even within the same brand and model. Also, as the barrel warms up, POI will spread. I usually take 2 or 3 rifles to let one cool when I notice the change in POI.
Very nice review! I enjoy the time you take to put together a quality video!
Thank you. Believe it on not, each gun I get for a video, I have about 5 days in of work. Videos usually take me 2 full days to film, edit, and produce. It's a lot of work, but I enjoy it.

Good review for a smart reviewer. Chassis and gun made in Canada by good people.
Arken will have an MOA version of the ep-4 in march.
Target accutrigger has been around for years. I think they claim 6 OZ, but most people keep it up closer to 1 lb. I guess they've never offered it in a 22 though.
Sorry you just answered my question in the video 1/2-28 thread !!! Thanks!!
The chassis on the Savage looks really sweet. The rifle is impressive but for me the Ruger Precision has more bang for the buck.
How about a review of the Savage A22 Precision?
You mentioned using the Arken scope on an air gun. My experience is that an air gun can destroy scopes that are not air gun rated. Many quality scopes for center fire rifles are damaged by air guns. Am I off base here?
I've heard that about springers alright.
PCP air guns, not spring operated guns. 👍
@@22plinkster FWIW, the problem you are referring to with air guns is with spring piston airguns only, and it only applies to old scopes made before all of the scope manufacturers got wise to the issue with the problem of the brutal whiplash double recoil from spring piston airguns.
I don't know of any scopes being made today lacking the essential double bracing of the lenses that allows a scope to be used on a spring piston airgun.
I would bet the price of the Arken scope that it would stand up just fine to the severe double recoil from even a Gamo Hunter Extreme.
Michaelbrum007 Brumbelow you right
@@jakep111 It's not a problem any longer with scope manufacturers.
Read my post above on this comment to get the details about why that is.
Here is another option for adding elevation to your optic setup. FX airguns sells rings that have elevation adjustment. They can be adjusted very finely and the overall elevation range they can achieve is quite high or low. The rings are called “FX No Limit”.
But do they hold?
I would love to see him shoot the heritage ranch rifle just because it looks like a cool gun
2nd 100yd group that shot to the left was your second round of the five.
Jersey_91 ok
Great vid...as usual👍
Would agree on the msrp...as I built one myself..basic savage mark 2 bolt action..aluminum chassis and a much cheesier scope that what 22 plinkster showed us...but all said my home build rang in at 550$ total.....
The accuracy...luuuv it..similar conditions here in socal with winds so at 100 yds..can be hard to make quarter sized groups..and my savage at 50 yds is a quarter hole - maker...
I still want this newer rifle tho!
Check out at Bud’s. My wmr walk out price was $480+ tax. Great trigger. 1.5 lbs out of the box.
I'm finally picking this rifle up on Sunday but in 17hmr. It's my first 17hmr so I'm crazy excited, I've been stocking up on 17hmr ammo for 2 years while I was being really picky about a rifle then this was introduced and it's just perfect. I might have some parts cerokoted a bronze/copper mix but I cant wait to play with the trigger. The accutrigger has always been trash on savage rimfires but I've only heard good things about this orange blade accutrigger.
Awesome video! Waiting on a review of the cz457 and the Tikka t1x!
Need to do an A22 precision lite next!
I have four savage 22s with standard accutriggers, all adjust to less than 2 pounds.
I got there model 64 its prob the best gun I've ever owned lol
