I just bought a new 10/22-RB today, originally with the intent of maybe getting the target model and fixing it up. I decided to go with the basic model and probably stick with iron sights. I'm thinking now about a MK II BV as a longer range gun, putting good glass on it and maybe sighting it at 100 yards.

Anyone get the MK II BV as their first Savage? Any/all thoughts on that model as a long (in rimfire terms) range rifle? Thoughts on what would be the best choice in glass for a somewhat older guy with major astigmatism and mediocre eyesight overall? Thanks for any and all input.
