Picked up my first 22lr today

[lovemachine]

I picked this bad boy from Bradis today. A Savage Mark II FV. It already had the Bushnell scope mounted on it.
I brought it home, cleaned it, and took it out to the range and sighted it in. I'm VERY happy with this thing.

I plan on doing A LOT of playing with it.

Very nice. Hard to beat the MarkII. I tell ya I shoot rimfire more than just about anything anymore. Cheap fun, an very accurate out to 100yrds, plus I can shoot all day an not have a sore shoulder. Im looking into getting a MarkII after the first of the year to add to the collection, Congrats on a nice score!

whats the power of that bushnell I was looking at a scope for my savage probably leaning towards a 3-9x 40mm.

I had a box of Federal 550 rounds that my dad bought from Wal-Mart. I think I'm going to get some Wolf Match later on and try that.

Check out a Mueller APV.Mueller Optics » Mueller APV 4.5-14×40AO (Black) They are a GREAT scope, very clear glass. They are a couple more $$$ but also a little more power. They are looked well upon by the 10/22 community.

My mark II fv shoots the lights out. My favorite rimfire in the safe.

Very nice looking rifle. After my range yesterday, its clear that I need a .22 rifle, they are a BLAST!!

A 9 year old left handed version of that rifle tied for first place in the NWI Meet and Shoot rifle competition, and took 2nd place in the 2 gun competition.

Great looking MK II. Took a little time to find out what ammo shot best in mine, but testing off the bench is half the fun. Enjoy!

I have shot my tighest group using Wolf of of my MKII. Now I just run mini-mags through it, I can not see paying extra money for match ammo. For a scope I went with a Bushnell Banner 4x12x40, cost me $119.
