Savage B22 accuracy and mods
I just bought this last month and have only been out a couple times - pretty windy this past month in NB. I've found after a couple hundred rounds of various brands that my best accuracy has been with SK Standard Plus 40g-SV and Eley Sport 40g-SV. I got a few groups under 3/4" with these rounds.

I haven't tried any 'more expensive' brands and don't plan to this year. I tried Fed AutoMatch and Herters bulk and they were OK but only ca. 1-1-/2" groups. Fed Gold Medal target was good, around 0.75" or so. I hope to get all these tighter after more practice and the rifle gets broken in a bit more. It's around 0-10* around here now, and if it's sunny I'll go out as long as the wind is around 10k or so but I don't want to go for accuracy if my fingers are numb

I took my Bushnell Engage 6-18x50 off my .308, but now I wish I would have bought the 6-24 or even better. The 50mm caused me to add the cheek riser - only $10 on amazon. The Engage has MOA reticle which is great for adjusting windage and hold-over. Yet since I'm not in competition I'm not that worried, this is good enough for this year. The B22 is shooting just a bit better than my Marlin 60 with a 4-16x40 Tasco side-focus.
I haven't reduced the trigger below the lowest factory yet, but plan to polish the 'innards' when I get a chance. It seems to be around 3# or a touch less, cranked as low as it will go. I did the 'locking pin repair' (found on u-tube) to avoid premature wear while I cleaned out the bolt (it had some mfg chips inside) and the action runs really smooth as-is. The barrel is 'just barely' floated and I plan to improve that, too. There is a 'removeable' liner in the forestock that can come out, but it leaves a large gap so I need to fab something to make that 'better". I got a couple extra mags and rounded a 'sharp' corner on the feed lip of all 3, but no further mods as yet.
