Best .22 Bolt Gun

Those groups are crap probably because of the ammo used. Try CCI standard or Blazers, mine does raggy holes at 50 yards all day long.

It is possible that the rifle simply doesn't like the load, but I don't own a single gun that shoots Blazers or the CCI Standard Velocity as well as the SK Standard Plus loads. The SK Standard Plus is generally a higher quality, more consistent load. Below are a couple of five shot fifty yard groups fired with the SK Standard Plus loads

My Mark IIf shoots like that at 50 yards with Blazers, one giant raggy hole. It's at 100 yards that you start to see 1-2 inch groups.

Post some of your sub .2" 50 yard groups up, I would enjoy seeing them. As for my rifle, if you shoot 1-2 inch groups at 100 yards with it, you are shooting very poorly.

Nice! Anchutz does make nice rifles. Depends how much you want to spend I guess.

It doesn't wear a tuner, and it is the most accurate repeater that I have seen. The purpose of posting the groups was to show just how accurate the Standard Plus loads can be in the right rifle.

Below are targets shot with the same loads in my old Remington 541S

I have seen a bone stock savage outshoot high end anschutz's, from a rest. It happens and it's sickening. A $200 "club" can at times be a zinger. I hate savages but cannot deny some are the most accurate ugly things known to man. What I haven't seen is many guys who can shoot those tiny little groups from .22's. It's not that easy.

Of course it can happen, but it's certainly not common. If you took ten random Savages, and ten random Anschutz 54s , I would be betting on the Anschutz rifles.

It doesn't take much of a mistake to turn a sub .2" group into a .5" group.
 
I'm thinking that my bipod may be holding my Savage back. Every time I pull the trigger I can hear the "tonnnnnngggggg" of the springs vibrating through my cheek bone pressed against the comb of the stock.

Partner... whats holding you back is using a bipod... AT ALL. You are not going to see really tiny groups until you utilize a better bench set up... at the very least a really solid front and rear bag... most of the groups that you see posted on line (the few that are honest) were shot with bench set-ups... very few were taken from a bipod (cetainly not consistently)... good luck shrinking the groups... :)
