Savage Mk II FV, What feeds em best?

It has a very nice trigger in the accu-trigger, and sports a heavy contour barrell which is free floated. On the negative side, the cheek weld on the FV anyway is very low for shooting with a scope. They are a very good "bang for the buck" .22 IMHO.
 
What sets this rifle apart from expensive target rifles? Does it really get any more accurate than this? Just wondering.

Additionally, the chamber is match grade although it's not advertised as such. For example, if I load CCI stingers, I am able to fire them. However, if I want to extract them without firing them, I can't do it without pushing them out with a cleaning rod. There are visible marks from the rifling on the tip of the bullet. That's how close the tollerances are on the chamber. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it...and the accutrigger.

It's made in Ontario by the way.

.....And sold to the americans cheaper then we can buy them for in Canada. What is our dollar at now? 1.015? LOL. But ya, the canadian made aspect is just the icing on the cake and why I have 2 of them so far.
 
Target Shooting Products have a nice selection of ammo.
Best I've found so far for my gun in the under $100 a brick is the RWS Rifle Match.
Lapua has some for under $100 but out of stock.

Never ceases to amaze me here how guys have thousands into their .22 and feed it the cheapest swill they can find.
Like drinking ripple wine out of the bottle in a tuxedo.

MANY thanks to Ron AKA for posting that chart.

Most rimfire BR is shot at 50m/yds. Here you are trying to hit a dot not much bigger then a pen mark. What you want in a top quality rig is utter reliability and precision. They are usually more accurate too.

The Savage I have is very accurate and very precise but will produce larger groups on average with its favorite ammo. Now I have not tested the ubber expensive stuff so maybe it can hold its own????

In rimfire, ammo and the ability to tune for it is what the gear is all about. Accuracy and precision is limited by the ammo and what you can extract from it.

The Savage I have is shooting well beyond my expectations and as good as the ammo will shoot.

but I would give the edge to a full meal deal rig and top tier ammo. will cost a fortune but shoot better.

the results posted just prove what i always say. at its price point nothing will outshoot the CCI std vel. I am buying it around 40-42 tax in locally and to get better results from my mkII i have to go to eley or sk and the price nearly double.

For what its worth
