Im looking for a .22 for target only and I was looking into these 2 and I was wondering do they come on left handed models?
Also the TR & TRR-SR what's the differences?

Thank you
 
As far as I know, those models of Savages don't come in LH versions. The only difference between a TR and a TRR is that the extra "R" in the model designation (I think) means "rail". It's the version with that big, clunky gob of useless aluminum that looks really tactical, but serves no purpose. Looks pretty cool though. :) "SR" stands for "Supressor Ready" but for our purposes here in Canada, it simply means the muzzle-end of the barrel is threaded. Savage puts a knurled cap on the end to protect the threads, so you can leave that there...or add something snazzy-looking (but unnecessary) like a muzzle brake.
 
Why do you guys buy Mark II's that cost 2x the price of the base model? I have shot many times at the local range with people who had the heavy barreled, and all other sorts of Savage Mark II's and my Mark IIf shot just as well. It's not like you're heating the barrel up on these guns, and even if you're doing 3 rounds per minute it's still not warm enough to change the accuracy or POI at all (I know because I own 2 of these guns).

"Because I want to" is good enough reason for me. I actually have a Mark II F with open sights, which I'm happy with and I'll probably keep as a dedicated iron sighted bolt action .22, however the TR has that tacticool look that I'd want for living out sniper fantasies. Getting a new stock, drifting out the rear sight and putting an optic on my current Mark II is an option, buying a new gun is another. Different strokes, I guess.

3 shots a minute? Lol sometimes I like to dump 3 mags in less then a minute on my mkII TR!

Also I prefer the feel of the stock on the TR over a G model as well as the longer heavy barrel. More stable, like a stabilizer on a compound bow. And from using the G model ever since I was a lad, to my new to me TR I much prefer the accuracy and precision I get from the TR.
 
What, nobody wants to get in to Ruger vs. Savage here? I know I sure don't...

@OP: The TRR-SR will look just like the TR if you take that goofy rail system off (and maybe sell it to someone trying to tacticool their base model). The TRR-SR is easier to find, which is why I mention it.

@Rocket Surgeon: The heavier rifles ARE a bit better for precision shooting (benchrest or bipod). Probably not better mechanical accuracy, but easier to shoot more accurately because of the weight.
 
Savage Mark IIs and Ruger 10/22s are different animals. The former I use for what may resemble precision shooting (lol, I wish) and the latter I use for high volume shooting. The two aren't comparable, but inexpensive enough for someone to own both.
 
Finding guns for left handed really isn't fun
jlagman which of the two would you buy first if buying both and why?
I like going out once a week and shooting for a few hourse 1 or 2 guns.
