Hey guys,

So I just bought a Savage Mark IIF with accutrigger and all that jazz...i also picked up a Bushnell scope for it...came with rings no mounts..nothing too fancy, just something to mount on top of it. My question is how do i mount this on the rifle, ive never owned a rimfire rifle, and was wondering if it came drilled and tapped already (if so, what kind of mount should i look for?), and if not, how do i go about mouting this on my rifle (id assume i take it to a gunsmith and he'd hook me up with everything?). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The scope im talking about is at

Thanks!

it should have came with scope mounts if not savage does sell them i'm sure since the majority of they're rim fires come with mounts
 
I have a Savage Mark II GL, and it has a dovetailed receiver that you just mount the rimfire rings directly on to.
 
The MKII F comes with a machined dovetail in the top of the reciever. You will require the use of .22 Rimfire rings. If the scope you bought is a .22 scope, the rings will fit. And if their the rings I'm thinking of, they are fragile and soft. Screw the ring bases on first. Tight, but not too tight. The screws are soft and easy to break. Put the scope in top, then put the top of the rings on and start to screw them down. Adjust the crosshairs so their level with the horizon. It's more important for them to be level with how the rifle comes to your shoulder, than to keep them level with the top of the gun. Once you have it lined up right, snug each screw down evenly, one turn each. Once they are tight, your ready to shoot. Also me sure to mount it far enough back sop you can work the bolt, see clear without crawling up on the scope, and so the bolt comes out for cleaning. Adjusting the scope requires range time. Move the adjustments in the direction you want your bullets to land. Most scopes work on 4 clicks per inch at a hundred yards. You'll want to zero your scope at 50 yards. Thats 8 clicks per inch of movement. Good luck.
 
If the scope didn't come with tip-off mounts for grooved receivers, a set of Burris Signature .22-rings can be readily had that are the best of this type.
 
I had that same scope but returned it for a 4-12x40. Because I prefer the adjustable objective for shooting beyond 50 yards.
