I want to start a rimfire bolt project to mimic my full bore rem 700. I was really liking the savage mk ii FSS, which runs about $260 new and has the heavy stainless varmint barrel.

On my last trip to my local gun shop, I was able to handle the mk ii TR. Sure it is nice, but I'm questioning if it's really worth the $460 list price for what seems to be a nicer stock and a "tactial" bolt handle.

Any thoughts? Are there any other "advantages" to the TR that I'm missing? Thanks!
 
Savage Mark II TR

I really like my TR. I'm sure it shoots just as good as any other of Savage's target 22's. I'm really happy with the "tacticool" look for under $500. I suppose is mostly a matter of "looks" and how much you are willing pay and/or budgeted for. I think for the differences: oversized bolt handle, McMillan style stock and fluted barrel, are worth it. People have mistaken mine for a big bore rifle and i have to tell them it's "Just a .22". I put a Tasco Varmint 2.5-10 X42 (the one with the mildots) with burris high rings on mine. anyway, good luck with whichever you choose.

cheers

Here's mine, i have no regrets.
But i must tell you i was hesitating between the BTVS and the TR.

Yeah Satchgun they look like the real thing but u must hide the MAG :D

Yes, its worth the extra dollars. The stock fits well, with Lapua club standard, 5 shot groups at 50 meters are impressive.3/4"- 1" at 100 meters. 10 round mags are cheap at $28.
 
I like the TR as well....but I went with a 93FV in 22wmr and added a Boyds tacticool stock,new bottom metal and trigger guard .It works out to be about the same amount of money.
The stock I received from Boyds is a big improvement.
Scope is a Bushnell elite 3200 3x9x40

Another option is if you really like the FSS get it and put a Boyds stock on it..it is the same as the TR has.
I believe Savage gets them from Boyds if I am not mistaken .The trigger guard,bottom plate and extra mags can be ordered fron Savage.When I ordered mine it took 11 days for it all to arrive.

its pretty hit or miss right now, savage came out with a bunch of new models and never anticipated the market response they would get,they have been playing catch up since, i waited 10 months for my 110BA and its coming up on 6months for my modle 12 lrpv, i just happened to luck out and walk in my local shop as the were literally putting it on the shelf.
