Thinking of buying a Savage Arms 22?

Thinking of buying a Savage Arms Mark II series .22
Who has one and what do you think of it?
What's so special about the Accu trigger?

They are an awesome bolt gun. The accutrigger is fantastic for trigger pull.

What are you waiting for, go buy one. I have a lefty bolt action of the Mark II, pre accutrigger, but I shoot groups at 50 yards with it that can be covered by a quarter, so I have never thought the accutrigger was needed anyway. It would be nice to have, but not in anyway needed. And the Savage Mark II is arguably the best bolt .22 out there.

I really really like mine, actually shot it today. It was a bit to cold for my likes to spend any time behind it to do load development (brand to brand) (not handloads ) But either day a good time shooting.

This is a great gun, great shooter.

They are so much fun. And the Lefty ones are the best.

Don't walk. Run. My Mark IIFV will put five rounds of bulk ammo under a nickel at 50 yards. The Accutrigger is a thing of beauty. It was also a bargain. I have mine overscoped with a 4-12x40 AO but I usually shoot it around 6x.

I have the same one as redneckmedic... but it shoots from the correct side! I have an inexpensive Bushnell Banner scope on it, and I do ok... I would like to really push it some day with a higher clarity piece of glass.

But hands down, compared to others out there, Savage Bolt guns are built for accuracy out of the box.

You will not be disappointed.

Thanks for the info. The ones I'm looking at are:

Mark II F
Mark II FSS
Mark II FV

Good call

Savages are known to be good shooters right out of the box and the Mark II is no exception. I had a F model in .17 HM2 that, even with it's pencil-thin barrel, was very accurate. It was the pre-Accu-trigger model so I installed a Rifle Basix sear which was a huge improvement. Go for it.

I have a MIIFV, and it's my favorite .22. I have mine topped with a Bushnell Banner 4x12x40 scope, and Burris rings. The trigger is set from the factory a 3lbs., and it's short and crisp. I know you can modify the trigger to drop the weight even more. I have shot different .22 rifles, but the Savage by far has the best trigger. In terms of the lower budget rifles. I just sighted mine in at 100 yards, but did not shoot for groups. With match ammo, my best 5 shot group was less then quarter sized at 50 yards. I know the rifle is much more capable then that.
