Re: .22wmr accuracy potential
AT 200 YARDS i'm getting a little under 3" when weather and i are in harmony, about 5" when not so much, 10 shot groups. i've shot my first turkey with it last year, 92 yards and a head shot on a cottontail at 67.
it's a marlin 822, imagine a savage would be better, bought it before i got hooked on rimfires again.
i found hornady ammo 30 gr vmax to be the best out of it
100 yards, they are within 1.5".
i stopped shooting it at 50 as they usually make a ragged .35cal hole at that range.
if you get a marlin, expect to get a replacement trigger, the factory one sucks.

Re: .22wmr accuracy potential
I have a Marlin 882SSV that does sub MOA out to 100, and starts to spread out at 150.
The biggest issue with the WMR is finding what ammo your gun likes. I have yet to find a marlin that will not shoot 40gr cci's pretty reliably. Most WMR's like the 30-33 gr VMAX offerings from many mfgr's
Ammo is kinda scarce right now, but getting better every day. 22ammo.com is your friend.
As to the Marlin trigger - even on the non adjustable factory triggers, you are one big pen and a polishing stone away from a very nice 2.5lb glass breaking "Click."
Search the www.marlinowners.com forum or RC - both have writeups on the pen spring trick. I've done it on mine and it feels very nice.

Re: .22wmr accuracy potential
I just shot some groups yesterday between .223 testing with my Savage 93 pre accutrigger, Harris bipod, hand held small sand bag in rear.
5 shot groups @ 100 yards
I can't imagine the groups being a ton larger out further. All depending on wind of course.

Re: .22wmr accuracy potential
anyone shoot a savage 93 BV 22mag???? im thinking of getting one, Rather ask here than make a dedicated post on the subject matter. The 22lrs look nice. I wanted to get a cz452 in 22mag but it appears they dont make them.

CZ does indeed make the 452 in a 22 mag config...
