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?

@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:)

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

[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.

left handed shooter! how do you do it?

[dvelechovsky]

Hard to make an opinion without knowing the scope details.

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!

@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!

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

[CoD0general]

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

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