Mark ll barrel/stock upgrades

Hello all, I have a base model mark ll(synthetic with regular barrel) Anyone know where i can find a bull barrel & a thumbhole stock for it? Any ideas are much appreciated

Yes, these are factory installed on the Model BTV or BTVS.

Joking aside, it probably would be less expensive to sell your current rifle and buy a BTV or BTVS. Unlike Ruger 10/22s, aftermarket barrels aren't readily available or easily installed for Savage rimfires and aftermarket stocks can be expensive.

I had a gunsmith friend of mine that i shoot F-class with install a custom Krieger barrel on my MarkII-GL. I haven't had a chance to really figure out it's full potential yet, but I can tell you that it wasn't cheap. I've seen a few people take 10/22 aftermarket barrels, file/cut another extractor groove in it, and machine the tenon a little longer for proper headspace. The tenon diameters of the MarkII and a 10/22 are very close, but the tenon in the MarkII is longer. That's the main problem with going that direction. The barrel I used was a Krieger blank and he machined the flutes/dimples and cut a 22Match chamber in it and a target crown. http://savageshooters.com/SavageForu...c,35693.0.html

Savage won't sell the bull barrel. I used a Whistlepig 77/22 barrel and machined the tenon. If you can put up with the poor starting product and put in a fair amount of time you can make a Richards micro-fit stock work. Otherwise it looks like Boyds is having a sale on them.

I needed one for left-hand action so I was stuck with the Richards.
