Looking for recommendations on which Savage 22 bolt action is most accurate for benchrest shooting.
Can anyone help me out ?
I'm pretty sure the actions and barrels are all the same. I bought a MKII BV that shoots .95 MOA at 100 yards with Eley Target and CCI Green Tag. I wouldn't recommend the BV now because I don't like the stock. If I had to do it all over again I'd but the cheapest one one possible and replace the stock and trigger. I'm in the process of replacing my stock with a Boyd's walnut. I'm also doing a trigger job. I'm bedding the rifle now which is a PITA.
I ended up buying a Savage MK II BTVSS . I hope it shoots good. Any ammo recommendations would be appreciated
Labor day sale $249.99
Mine shoots the best with Eley Target and CCI Green Tag. CCI Standard Velocity shot well if I remember correctly. I try to keep them subsonic because I shoot further than 100 yard.Quote:

I'd step up to the new B-Series if it were me.
I bought the savage MK II BTVSS and absolutely love it. It shoots nickel and dine groups with either CCI standard velocity and Federal auto match. I am going to try Wolf and S&K just to try it.
