My Savage Mark II

[Verne]

I got this years ago right after I got my 22 suppressor. I wanted to see how quiet I could be.

It started off as the standard Mark II .22 with the plastic stock, Accu-Trigger and bull barrel. It was a slow go after I got it threaded but it is done now.

Here is the list of what has been done:

-Had the barrel threaded 1/2 x 28. (This one was bought before the new ones were available with factory threaded barrels.)
-Boyds Tacticool Stock
-DIP trigger guard, bottom metal, screw kit and 25MOA one piece scope mount.
-Shimmed the trigger to take out the wiggle.
-Mueller APT scope with Mil-dot recticle.
-RIfle Basix Trigger

I have not been able to shoot it since the trigger install but before when I sighted the scope in I was getting dime to nickle size 5 shot groups at 30 yards. Hope to step it out a little further next time

The only thing I wish I had done was to have the barrel cut down to 16.5" when I had it threaded.

Now for pics.

Looks real nice.

I've been shopping for one like this myself.

Nice! That gun will shoot at least 330 yards with some decent accuracy (from doing it) and 500-600 yards from vids I have seen.

 

Curious what ammo is most accurate for it? So far mine has been Wolf Match Extra and Eley for subsonic. CCI Mini Mag and Blazer for high velocity.

The day I had it out sighting it in I used some Wolf Match, CCI Sub-sonics & Federal Target Auto Match.  The Federal seemed to group the best but not much better than the Wolf but I wasn't shooting that far. 

 

When I get out again I going to try those again and a few others.  Plus I hope to get it out to at least 100 yards with it.
