My New Toy

[686 Shooter]

I went to the Calgary gun show a couple of weeks ago. Most stuff was over priced there. But I found this Savage Mark II BSEV at Wholesale Sports on sale for $559 so I picked it up. Mounted a Nikon Prostaff Target EFR 3-9x40 on it. Wow what an accurate set up for a fairly budget price. I am seriously impressed with this rifle. I like it better than my 10/22 target.

Great looking gun! I've been thinking about the Savage 93R 17hmr for a while now. Similar style.

I hear the 17 is even more accurate than the 22.

The gun will make the 1/2" challenge. The shooter? Not so much. Lol.

The bottom group is from this rifle at 25 yards. For my skill set that's pretty good.

Nice rifle !

I have the "Big Brother"... 22wmr

I did a pillar job on it yesterday, and I'm waiting for the JB Weld to setup a bit more before doing the action/stock part.

* the target is @ 105yds (Nikon 1200s Rangefinder), shooting off a 3ft high tree stump while sitting in a lawn-chair. Top #1 & #2 shots were "sighters", just getting the new scope on paper.

Those are groups we'd like to see at 50 yards Practice practice! You've got a nice rig to help you get there now.

I definitely have some practicing to do. Good thing 22 ammo is cheap!
