    New FVSR accuracy issue?

    How tight it's supposed to be can be affected by something as small as the thickness of the finish applied to the inletting. It just depends on where the action is actually hitting the stock. That's why a lot of people have chosen to put in pillars & re-bed the action on these stocks, it's just...

    New FVSR accuracy issue?

    I think we're over-thinking things here with cleaning & ammo. My FV-SR from this weekend shot the following groups, in sequence, at 50 yards. Wolf Match Extra, 5 shot strings: 1 - 5/8" 2 - 7/8" 3 - 9/16" (cold bore, dirty from last session, hundreds of rounds, no cleaning at all for...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns School me on suppressors

    Would like to add to the conversation here, but the two I have ordered (Osprey & Sparrow) are still in process with ATF. The Osprey was started last year at this time, the Sparrow just about two months ago. I hope to live long enough to actually get to shoot both of them....

    Sidearms & Scatterguns knife sharpening info from the guru's out there

    I got a Gatco kit with the diamond stones & added some natural stones. The whole trick to sharpening well is the angle used. It must match the steel & cutting job and be held at the same angle each & every time. This type helps to make a good edge. You can get carried away with things. I made...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    Here's a target showing bullet drop at 100 yards for the CCI-SV. The point of aim is the top row of targets, center dot. Point of impact is at the bottom, the three shot group with yellow highlighter marked as 3/4". Top rows are 100 yards, bottom are 50 yards, different ammunition types included...

    Savage Markll FV-SR Help

    Take a look at the Pentax Game seeker II line. They aren't the best scopes ever made, but the 3-9 or 4-12 will still be less than $100 with shipping and for a 22 will be fine to work with. They aren't as good as Nikon in general (contrast, brightness & clarity) but for the money, they will...

    Savage Markll FV-SR Help

    Mine is a bit more tricked out than the plastic stocked version (stock, scope, trigger kit), but with a bit of understanding it will shoot fine from the factory. The comment about the pressure on the fore-end is correct, this stock is so flimsy that pressure in that spot will affect the barrel &...

    What Steel Targets are you using for 100 and 200 Yards?

    I got these last week, made a couple of stands and put a coat of paint on them this weekend. This is the 100 yard target (3") and a 6" will be used for 200 yards. Also got a small IPSC profile (5" x 8 1/4") which still needs a stand. Got them from a local shop (Target Man) here in town. They're...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    Just a follow-up on some more shooting. This is last weekend's trip was with a 100 yard target setup. With the CCI-SV I'm getting about an inch, give or take some. I get a nice 4 shot group of about 3/4", then there will be one flyer which opens the group to 1 1/4" or more. Thinking it's the...

    Savage Markii: Extraction issues (with pics)

    Most of the rim-fire "failure to eject" problems I read about online are simply due to a lack of cleaning and proper maintenance. Usually the chamber, extractor recess in the bolt or action, or gunk build-up in the bolt face itself under the extractor are to blame. At some point, pull the...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    It's certainly not as good as with the smaller scope. I can still set up properly (adequate), but it is a bit "sloppy" when compared to the other smaller scope & lower eye level. I'm thinking about some shorter rings, but still need to measure the distance & check sizes on shorter rings. These...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    OK, here's with the Apachee trigger, fully bedded, 6-24 x 50mm scope. Compare this to the picture above of the range test for action tuning from last month. Tightened up the group size from an average of 0.85" to about 0.55" for three shots at 50 yards. Getting better.

    Mk2 FV-SR

    Just can't seem to leave well enough alone on this rifle. Did an action bed yesterday to see how it affects accuracy. There are now the two pillars, bedding at the front spool and behind the trigger. It rests along the entire action from just behind the barrel to the back of the action behind...

    Mk2 FV-SR

    Decided I needed a little less eye relief on the scope at 7X, so I trimmed the rail down two bumps up front from the factory length, and then re-set everything last night. I used the blue lock-tite for the rail screws, to make sure it doesn't come loose. The rains have finally stopped this...

    Cold Weather Testing

    If you see ignition problems, clean the bolt thoroughly of any and all oil in the fining pin channel. Some lubes will thicken in this type of cold and cause erratic ignition.

    Mk2 FV-SR

    Follow-up to this one. Re-did the bedding pillars with 1/4" brass pipe nipples (drilled out the nylon). Bedded the bottom metal to lock it in place. Added the DIP trigger-guard over-travel screw. Played with the action screws this morning. Front @ 16# / back @ 8# seems to be about best for now...

    Please explain .22 hoarding to me????

    The humble 22 has always been the most popular & most shot round in America. That's just a fact, and has been for many years. Add to that the rising cost of shooting center-fire (relative scarcity with the current political climate and administration) and you have the "perfect storm" of an ammo...
