Anyone shooting a Mark 2 got bullets that are doing well? All I have access to are Remington, Federal, Winchester, but I can order something if it will shoot better. My rifle has consistent fliers, about 2 out of 5. Thanks...

The priming is not as reliable, but they shoot straight.

Re: Savage Mk II .22 LR ammo
Wolf Match Target is pretty much the standard for great shooting ammo on a budget. I've also found that Federal Gold Medal (711b) shoots well in mine too.

Re: Savage Mk II .22 LR ammo
Fliers are definitely going to deal with using the less expensive ammo.
I found that the majority of my rimfires shoot decent enough with CCI SV. They may shoot better with some of the more expensive ammo out there, but the $6.49 per 100 rounds is as high as I really want to go right now. I don't shoot well enough to justify anything more expensive right now.

Remington Eley and Wolf Match Extra are good in mine. CCI CB Short Targets are pretty good to 25 yards.

Re: Savage Mk II .22 LR ammo
Mine really likes the subsonics. CCI subsonic works very well, but any other seems to do just fine also. I had the same flyer problem with all standard and high velocity ammo. Subsonic ammo groups one ragged hole at 25yrd.

Wolf Match Target - .2-.3 inches @ 50 yds in my Savage Mark II "F" model and .3-.5 inches @ 50 yds with my Ruger 10/22 with Custom E.R. Shaw Heavy Barrel.
In my case, the Wolf Match Extra did not shoot as well as the Match Target, and costs a little more anyways...
Just yesterday I shot a .7 inch 5-shot group at 100 yds with the Wolf Match Target in my Mark II.

Have you ever tried the Wolf MT stuff? Can't imagine a supersonic round groups better than a subsonic target round.

Ditto. From all appearances SBS has his act together, but I can't imagine MiniMag's running anywhere near as accurate as some of $6/box range target subsonics.
Using Wolf MT, my Mark 2 will routinely put five shots in under .5" @ 50 yards. Every once in awhile it will even produce a 0.35"-0.40" outside to outside group.
Anyways, SBS, try them and post results; I want to see what a real shooter can do with this combo!

The problem is that for some reason the range I go to usually has a pretty good breeze, so I can never have any luck with anything subsonic. Another reason why I really love that 17. I'm a speedy kind of guy!

Re: Savage Mk II .22 LR ammo
Just got some Wolf Match Target. First 5-shot group at 60 yds, with air conditioned cold barrel, could cover with a quarter; next group could cover with a nickle, last group could cover with a dime. My rifle likes this stuff. Thanks one and all...
