I love my savage mrk II

[73dodgedart]

Today I got out the savage mrk II I got a couple of years ago for about $100. Untill today I pretty much hated it, it felt cheap and didnt eject spent cartrages very well. Me and a freind of mine decided to go up to my 2nd story deck and shoot at a spinner target (and some other junk) we set up at my pond. We were about 75yds away, so I decided to get my $6 doller 4x walmart scope so I could se the spinner a bit better. After about 10 min of sighting in the scope I was ready to go. BTW sighting in scopes in the snow is sooooooo easy you can see exactly where your shooting. Anyway after getting it sighted in I was able to hit the spinner target over 75yds away (which happens to be a sub 1 inch group) consistintly. This is with a literal $5.95 walmart scope. My freind didn't think anything of it untill he tried to shoot it. Then he couldent belive that I could hit the broad side of a barn with it let alone a sub 1 inch group.

Oh and the not ejeting spent cartrages thing was do to the crappy winchester ammo.


Whats the moral of this story?
Cheap stuff does work

The MKII's are a steal at $100.00.Nothing can beat em.;)

Thanks for the info. $6 scope eh? Hmmm, maybe I spent more than necessary on the Trijicon... :p

+1 on the MkII. It's the best $100 I ever spent.

With a little shimming, the trigger is awesome too!

I got a chance to use a Trijicon last April shooting .... well things that go boom with some assistance from road flares. :)

At 200 yards it hits exactly where you aim .... at 300 it was the same thing.


So once I get a flat top AR, I'll be getting a Trijicon for it.


But for a 22 rimfire you simply can't go wrong. I got hooked on the Ruger 10/22 after a whistle pig killing fest (considered rodents, no tag no limit) and other than the titanium extractor it was stock and it had no malfunctions what so ever.

+100

I love my savage (both mk II and 93f). Mine was a bit more expensive as it's the synthetic stock and a Simmons 3-9x40, however it really impressed me for the price. We set up 410 shells at the 100 yard and plink them all day. Best I've shot so far was a .223 shell at 100 yards...
