Savage Mark II BTVS at the Range Shooting 100 Yard Groups Part 1 of 2

[42105]

such a beautiful rifle - i wish i would own one...

[ColonelKreme]

left handed shooter! how do you do it?

[dvelechovsky]

Hard to make an opinion without knowing the scope details.

[1shot2kilu]

Nice video, never regretted buying Savage, have the 93GV in 17HMR, Model 40 in 22 Hornet, the Edge in 223 and the model 110 in 22-250. For how they all shoot, the fit and finish we're vy happy... Sooo many Savages, so little time. Safe shooting!

[leianneiococoa]

PUT A FIRED CARTRIDGE IN YOUR 22 AND SNAP IT..

[Cmitty33]

Thinking about this for my first gun

I'm in my early 20's, just got my firearms license up here in canada. and it's hard to decide between bolt or semi-auto.

Any thoughts hefly?

[hifly78]

@Cmitty33 I doubt you will see a MP 15-22 or a ruger 10-22 shoot as accurately as one of these savage bolts. I have an old Mosberg semi auto 22 that loads through the stock and I have a hoot with it but I burn through 10 in a couple of seconds vs minutes. I tend to shoot this savage more. I also love my Garand. That is fun. I plan on getting it out this year to some long range shooting. 500+yards

My savage 12vlp .223 is really fun. 800+ yards. Get whatever floats your boat. and shoot:)

[CoD0general]

@hifly78 if you plan shooting 500 yards, the bullet probably wont even penetrate the target unless its paper

[SEReamer09]

@CoD0general He's talking about with his M1-Garand. It will penetrate a whole lot more than paper at 500 yards.

[rustycj7]

@Cmitty33 Semi's are great of plinking and you can tune them to be pretty damn accurate too. If you're going of accuracy/precision I'd say a bolt action since you can squeeze way better groups out of a properly setup bolt action than a semi could ever dream of. This is why one of the reasons you see M14's (my fav rifle) being used as designated marksmen rifles and the M24's and M40's (basically a tricked out Remington 700) as a sniper/counter sniper rifle. Just get what feels good for you!

[MrBundydave]

I am buying a LH model very soon, cannot wait!

[joracer1]

That Savage FLAT shoots I have the .17 like yours and .3 @ 100 no problem

and with no wind I can shoot it under 1" @ 200 it's my hats off too Savage arms!

I would recomend it to every one who wants a rimfire .

[camarogod93]

I want your stock!! I have a mark 2 GL. Not that I dont like it...but your stock is amazing!

[killer4life1000]

you hear the "double tap" LOL

[Kramer10205269]

Nice gun..I just got an F/TR in .308 and man these guns are shooters for the money..will out shoot me for a long time! Good vid

[skootlad]

Hey man , i was really! hoping you could tell me how to de cock the savage mark 2 i bought mine today and the little metal piece stays back untill you pull the bolt back but i dont want to shoot it as im in town ... So how can you de cock it without dry firing ... PLZZZZ HEEELLPP

[cooleleazar02]

@skootlad hey bud, i dont know if you got the answer you wanted or not, but try this, pull back as if you were going to load another shell in the chamber and then pull the triger back as if you shot it and hold it then push in as if you are putting the shell in, it should do what you want it to do, sorry if i didnt explained well, my english is not that good, I hope i helped, take care and God Bless :)

[EEKSPLEE]

would anyone prefer this or the remington 572 fieldmaster?

[USMCM249gunner]

.22 is so much more economic to shoot than .17 HMR

I still wouldnt trade my HMR for the world

[capsolo99]

I'm having a little trouble getting the bolt to be that smooth.....am I missing something?

[Chadwick122689]

They are stiff from the factory... Sit around and watch television and just work the bolt for a couple hours a week... I did it with mine and its smooth as butter now!

[capsolo99]

thanks for the tip....honestly never thought to do just that. That scope is nice.

[hifly78]

Ditto on working the bolt. I also cleaned the action really good. Lots of rust proof gunk from the factory. Then very light oil on the bolt.

[PSNjizzcake]

Or use gun oil

[JohnDeere1317]

what magnification are you using to get 1" groups at 100 yards?

[hifly78]

16 power. At 100 yards I can see the holes on the white paper. (can't see them on black targets) Can see if I'm holding steady on the cross at the point of breaking the trigger.

[JohnDeere1317]

@hifly78

I'm looking at getting the Savage Mark II FV can I expect the same accuracy as you are getting with the BTVS

[hifly78]

Just looked at it for the first time. I would suspect it would shoot just as well. Same trigger and heavy barrel. Not Stainless but I doubt that matters. Just work on the basics, breath control, trigger squeeze(straight back) , and follow through. Have Fun.

[MrFozy]

That range your at looks suspiciously like the club I belong too.....north of Barrie perhaps?

[hifly78]

You have an Eagle Eye Mr Fozy.

[micbaca]

your scope costs more than your gun.....

[hifly78]

:) I know but I bought it for my hunting rifle and it pulls double duty really well. With the rings and the bases I have awesome return to zero and have no trouble switching off rifles and getting first shot hits. Within 1/2 MOA for sure. For the 22 better then the gun or ammo return to zero

[birdkillerqrzio12]

I'm going to buy one this week. How do you like yours, and would you suggest using a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 with the BDC reticle?

[hifly78]

Don't know that scope. If you want to shoot .22 at distance get something with turrets that you can read numbers on (tatical) Between 50 and 100yards only about 5 moa so not a big deal (20 .25moa clicks) but I'm now using it on shooting a lot longer. See other video (400 yards) Lots of dialing for the longer ranges. The 6500 has a sort of tatical turret that can be covered with a scope knob cap when hunting so it cant get bumped in the bush. Works OK.

[capsolo99]

what's the power of that scope? I'm looking to get something more than just 3x9

[hifly78]

It's a Bushnell 6500 2.5-16x power with a 50mm objective mounted on an EGW 20 MOA Picatinny Rail with Leupold Medium 30mm QRW rings. It has 90 moa adjustment and allows adjustment to be on target to at least 400 yards and per ballistics charts to 450 yards with the 22LR and this gun. On my 300 Win Mag easy adjustment to 1000+ yards.

[fishnkid1923]

where coud i take my 22 to get the trigger pull lowered...how much would it cost?

[phgHunter]

Does the Accutrigger break when the small blade gets flush with the main one?

[hifly78]

I know the trigger on the rimfire is different than the accutrigger on the centrefire rifles.

I'll try and post a link describing the working. I think rimfirecentral has some in a fourm there

[hifly78]

No there is still a pull after it gets flush. When flush it just removes a safety that will allow the sear to fall when the trigger s pulled.

[hifly78]

Are you sure your 28? Sound younger. I'm OK with my progress what have you done lately

[1australianfreak]

You suck rookie!.... LOL
