As a salesman at a sporting goods store I can confidently say that the Savage MK II is an outstanding rifle, and it is one of the most popular models we sell. And since you are in the UK you should have easier access to top quality match ammunition like Eley and RWS than we do here in the states. What you will have to do is just try a bunch of different brands and bullet weights, as well as standard verses high velocity ammunition. If I may ask, does your MK II have “open sights” or is it strictly an optics model. And will you be using it strictly as a target rifle or as a small game and vermin rifle? Good luck and good shooting!
