Re: just bought a savage MKII FV-SR
yea got me some devcon right here for it, it already had bottom metal from savage. wish it came in SS but blued only
but 325+ tax out the door with my super customer, cash only discount, very happy about it. very good solid looking system, think im going to open up the channel a little bit more and i don't know if the stock is ribbed or solid inside but will fix it up and give range report as soon as i can.
the only thing i cant find out, is if the rail is a 0 moa or a 25??

Re: just bought a savage MKII FV-SR
I have one and so does my brother. We both really like them. I wound up with a boyds tactical stock, murphy precision 35 min base, weaver 3.5-10 mil mil.
both rifles shoot great with wolf match.
Both rifles took a while to smooth out the bolt, but other than that no issues.

Re: just bought a savage MKII FV-SR
curious, i know a few ppl who shoot out to 200 yrds, the round cci drop 18.5 inches i guess i dont know what the exact table is, but you probably cant do that with a 0 moa, it was a question.

Re: just bought a savage MKII FV-SR
I posted pics of my best group in the mkII fv sr hookup thread. The bolt was really rough but after a few hundred cycles it seems to be better. can't wait to get a boyd's stock. Do all of them fit without too much work?

Re: just bought a savage MKII FV-SR
I just picked up my fv-sr on Wed. Have not gotten to shoot it yet.
I was looking to replace the stock with a Boyds tacticool as well. From what I understand, you'll need new bottom metal and trigger guard. DIP makes them.

I did all that and after taking it into the field one time I pulled the boyds back off and put the factory cheap plastic back on. It's cool looking and all and makes the rifle feel more like a centerfire off the bench, but I feel it's too bulky for carrying around looking for rabbits.

comes with a 0 MOA , i put a 20 on mine and a bushnell 10x elite milmil and it was great. I really miss that rifle. Also the boyds tacticool stock and bottom metal is a must. That was the first thing I did when i bought mine.

thats why i sat on my couch and cycled the hell out of it every night while I waited for my my tacticool stock to arrive. Really smoothes out nice after a while.
