Trying my Savage B22 FV-SR

Best of practice so far.


I was happy with that!

What ammo/what distance? I've always liked the FV-SR, but the Mark II I owned wouldn't shoot accurately no matter what I fed it. A B22 FV-SR would be pretty cool to own!

Very nice. I just got a B22 G (wood stock model) the other day. Cleaned it up yesterday, looking forward to trying it for the first time this weekend.

That second group looks really good. Looks like 3/4" ish?

Please update the post if you do an ammo testing session. I'd be curious to know what kind of potential the gun has. Thanks!

How is the fit, finish and feels of the b22 fvsr?

The stock is a lot nicer then the old fv-sr it replaced. Otherwise feels the same. The bolt isn't as smooth in its travel but is breaking in nicely. Fit and finish is better I think.

For my Mk. II FV-SR, I think might have been related to the different finish. The parked bolt definitely wasn't as smooth as my other Mk. IIs with the normal finish. The extra friction could cause my FV-SR's bolt to stick pretty good if you were careless and started putting downward pressure on the bolt handle when closing the bolt
