Savage .22 with threaded barrel

I've been thinking about picking up a FV-SR to replace the 93r17 that I sold last summer. It seems like a hell of a deal for the money.

I got the MARKII-FV-SR 22LR about a year ago for my YHM 22 Mite. It is awesome, it shoots really well and the trigger is great. It is way quieter than with my 10-22 and will run any ammo you want.

I've heard this, too, but don't know if it's true.

Sounds like you folks don't know about the Ballistics by the Inch site. Here's the .22 data.

+1 on the finicky magazine. I love my MkII, but the magazine design is super weak. A Google search will reveal a bunch of ways to "fix" it, but it seems like it's mostly quality control stuff that should have been fixed at the factory - the follower being made a little incorrectly, the spring being weak, the magazine lips being bent wrong right out of the box, etc.

It seems like most people feel like the stainless versions are a little better, but I don't see any science in that, unless the manufacturing process for them is substantially different. I haven't found any aftermarket magazines for them either.

As far as shooting goes, I love it. I wanted something different from my wife's 10/22, and I got it. I felt like everything nice I got her rifle I would just want for mine, so I got something totally different. Now we can go out plinking all day long and she doesn't have a heart attack at the ammo cost.

The plastic stock is pretty bad. I started with that and then put it in a Boyd's "Tacticool". Much better. I think it's the same stock used on the TRR-SR.
