Savage B22 FV SR

[Boy Runtero]

I got mine to the range the other day- I also have the mark ii fvsr, which has done me well. Both shoot around the same, .5-.7 at 50 yards with cci AR Tac Ammo. I am happy with this accuracy, but not exactly jumping up and down about it. Eley club, CCI SV, blazer made little difference to the results. The lack of drop on the new stock is nice- the mark ii is a chin-weld at best. The bull barrel is not free floated- the barrel channel is not wide enough to allow for this. Interestingly, I pulled it apart and there's a barrel channel liner, held in place by 3 screws, that I took out, and now the barrel is free floated, no sanding required! The stock is a little flexy with it gone, but no clearance issues. Trigger was set to factory minimums and pulls nicely, I figure 2 pounds, no creep, but this is not a measured number. It has a cone breech, where the mark ii has a regular breech. My take on the gun is- they are pretty similar, it's a matter of personal preference as to what you want and if the extra few bucks is worth it. I wouldn't say one is better than the other.
