    Looking for something to learn with

    Re: Looking for something to learn with I'll concur with the XT-22 (and I have 3 Savages). Fine rifle out of the box, and with a little attention a great rifle... And shoots like this with inexpensive ammo(adjusting scope during these groups)... Good luck!

    Which 22?

    Re: Which 22? I'd love a 452FS. I have 3 Savages and they're all fine shooters, If the money was there I'd get the FS-just because I want one.

    Which rimfire to practice fundamentals

    Re: Which rimfire to practice fundamentals I have the Marlin XT-22, bought the first one I saw. Wonderful rifle for under $200. Shoots nice little clovers @ 50 yards off bags. Rear iron sight is flimsy, but I assume a scope is in order for your shooting. You'll need Weaver #12 bases and the...

    Looking for my first firearm

    Re: Looking for my first firearm Bow, you've made an educated decision. And the rifles you picked are both good choices. I have both MKII's and the XT22, great rifles out of the box. Good value and very accurate. The Marlin XT22 is about $200-here's mine... It has a Walmart Centerpoint...

    .22lr Scopes

    Re: .22lr Scopes I have the Nikon 4.5-14X40 you're considering on my MKII BV... It does have target turrets and IMHO is one of the best scopes I own. Great optics. I also have a less expensive Bushnell Banner 6-18X50 on my project MKII G if big doesn't bother you... Also good optics at a...

    New MKII BV

    My custom build on the Dick's special MKII G turned out so well, I decided I would try a higher grade in the Savage line. I went looking on Sunday and found a laminate stock BV for a reasonable price. Spent about an hour looking for any anomalies and was pleased to find none. Brought it home and...
