Happy Day!!
I just got home with my new rifle.
I got the Savage Mk 2 BV.
I put a Leupold VX-1 2x7x28 Rimfire scope on it.
Very nice looking. Excited. Ready to shoot it. Can't wait.
one question that I am now pondering.....
How come the prettiest rifle in your collection is always the one you are about to purchase or the one you just brought home?

Lol so true. But your favorites always work there way back to the top. Congrats on the new rifle. Hours of fun plinking in your future.

well, I shot my new rifle this past week. it was kind of weird.
At 50 yards, we sighted in and the pattern was not good at all. close to 2 inches.
I fired 10 rounds of 5 shots each with no improvement.
Then, suddenly, the pattern tightened to a 1/2 inch on the next 5 round volley.
Then, the next was better than that. after the first 10 rounds, the best was 1/4 and the worst was 1/2
I am very happy with my rifle.
Took it out yesterday for a couple hours and shot some squirrels.

Nice! Apparently your rifle likes the bore a bit dirty. My 17hmr is the same way.

Sounds like you got your rifle shooting great. I have a 30.06 that likes a dirty barrel.
