A little update.

After my first range session I was about to take the rifle back. The five round magazine that came with the gun was defective, it wouldn't hold the rounds, it was split along one of the seams. I also tried a few different kinds of ammo but I couldn't get any of them to group decent. So I was single loading and not hitting anything, not fun. After doing some research I found Savage had a bad run of magazines but has since fixed the problem.

Bad news is Savage customer service is phone only, you have to have your serial number handy, and closes at 4pm Eastern. Good news Savage online store is easy to use and new magazines are reasonably priced. I ordered 2 10 round magazines from Savage, and some Wolf Match from Midway.

Second range session I really fell in love with this rifle. The 2 extra magazines functioned flawlessly and the wolf match shot like a dream! My friend shot a few 10 shot groups about the size of a quarter at 50 yards. I only have about 300 rounds through the gun and I feel like its still getting broken in.

The Eagle stock pad is OK, but the Velcro is ruff while shooting from the bench. I think the adjustable cheek rest will be better.

I ordered a Sinclair bore guide and a DIP adjustable cheek rest.

I will try to post some pictures of the groups my friend shot as he saved them.

Future plans include accuracy testing with different torque on action screws, bedding, texturing the stock, and some Krylon camo. I will update this tread when I get a chance!

Just a quick question on the tactical rimfires you guys are shooting. I've read through a couple of threads here and quite a few people seem to be using 10x or 16x fixed scopes.. Do you guys have to shoot offhand much? Maybe I need to practice a whole lot more but 12 or 16x is tough to hold steady hahah.. Maybe its just me.. With my cf rifles I like something in the 5x or so for offhand shots..

No shooting off hand for me with this gun, its built for supported fire. I agree if this was for hunting/offhand it would be lower magnification or irons!

Great work for a bubblehead I wonder if Savage sells those stocks, I replace my MK II FV stock, needs a cheek piece as does my 93R17 FV, I have a strap on pad but would swap the stock out for one of those in a heartbeat..

The shoots at APTS we have done 150 yard offhand shoots so yes, an adjustable scope with a lower power is very helpfull. I run a 6-18.

Right on guys thats kinda what I figured.. Thanks G-force Junkie... Now I have to convince some of the guys up here in norcal to host some shoots like your guys....

To the original poster.. Very clean looking rifle.. Glad to hear it shoots as well....... I'm starting to lust after a new beater bolt gun.....

[10rounds]

I also encountered bad mags with this rifle. The one that came with the rifle was defective and one of the three spare mags that I got was also defective. A 50% failure rate.

[G-forceJunkie]

A note on Savage mags...find one that works well, and take your funky mags and fix them. 90% of the time its the feedlips holding the rounds at the wrong angle or too high/low. Find a mag that works, and with some pliers, tweek the other untill the top round is the same height and angle. Another common issue is the mag wells are very sloppy which can affect the angle the top of the mag is held at. If you pull the action out of the stock you will see why: They are formed out of one piece of stamped steel. But it is usually "sprung" open. Some times you can pinch the mag well sides together, or shim the sides of the mag well in the stock to pinch it together.
