Popped the cherry on my Savage MK II TR today!

Went down to the range to sight in some pistols for a bowling pin match next Sunday and brought the MkII TR out to see what flavor of ammo it likes. Ran some of the Fed Premium Match, Wolf Match and Wolf Match Extra. REALLY loves the last two. Started out at 25 yds, got it zeroed (with Mueller APT 4.5x14 scope....nice), then moved out to 50 to see what it would do.

It didn't like the Federal at all, which was fine as it was the most expensive tested today. Both flavors of the Wolf performed well, with several 5 shot groups measuring .40" or smaller if I did my part. Actually had one group going with 3 shots in the same hole! Wind was a slight factor, but not too bad.

I think I'm going to enjoy this little shooter! Now I'm trying to decide if I want to send it to Tornado Technologies for barrel threading and running it with one of my suppressors.

I have been thinking about getting one of these myself. Was just waiting to see if anyone has had any issues with them and was wondering how they shoot. Thanks for the update.
