MARK II FV-SR - Bought one!!!

mdoffroad · Mar 14, 2018

I was looking at the new Savage B22 FV-SR, but a local shop has the (older Im guessing)MARK II FV-SR... and the price point rocks, but how competent of a rifle is this versus the newer B22, or a Ruger American Rimfire? Is it worth Going newer?

I don't have much to add but if you decide not to purchase the MARK II FV-SR , send me a pm and let me know what local shop has it. Ive been casually on the lookout for one.

For the Mark II you WILL want an aftermarket stock. I understand the B22 has a much better stock on it. Figure $100 for a Boyd’s Tacticool.

I'm happy with my laminate stock:

The MK II didn’t all come with the crappy plastic stocks?

I have the FVSRR, or thereabout letter combination (no tri rail, but threaded). I need to shoot it more. I have a Mueller scope on it and bi-pod. A fantastic gun. Always gives me a hoot shooting it. The threaded barrel will soon have something to mate with later this year; the joy it provides should dramatically increase.

Great gun. The trigger of the Savages are super; I bought another Savage since based on this experience. The stock-stock is a Boyd's Tacticool, or something VERY close to.

It looks something like this:

Other than the stock, I am not too sure what else has changed. If the price is right, you will not be dissatisfied with the "older".

Wood, laminate and synthetic. All available.

Love mine. I can hit 4" plate at 100 standing with not much problem. Brother has one and can do the same with crappy stock.

Damn. Oh well. Happy with my Boyd’s. The laminate looks pretty sweet.

That’s on the BT, Not the MKII. I got one of the early MKII FV-SR’s, at that time they only came with AWFUL plastic stocks. Love the new options.

So all I hear is horror stories over the magazines, is this a legit worry?

I had no problem with mine; either the 5 or 10 rounders. But I will say the rotary mag is a huge plus for the Ruger Amercan rimfire.

Oh - now you tell me!

mdoffroad · Mar 15, 2018

That is an..... interesting stock on the BSEV

I really like my Mark II fv-sr. My only complaint is the factory plastic stock that it came with. I replaced the stock almost immediately with a Boyd's tacti-cool stock.

It easily shoots 1/2 inch or better groups at 50 yards from a benchrest position. My preferred ammo for this gun is CCI standard velocity. I have been able to get 2 1/2 in groups at 100 yards.

The threaded barrel is an added bonus allowing me to easily mount my suppressor.
