Looking at the purchase of a 22LR to use for a fun league at out range. I have a Savage MKII F but it really doesn't fit me very well. Feels short, more like a youth size rifle. So looking local I found a shop that has a new Savage B22FV and a used Ruger American with a 22" barrel. The Savage is just under $300.00 and the Ruger is listed at $230.00. Neither has a mounted scope. Haven't seen the Ruger yet so I dont know it's actual condition. Depending on condition which would you consider?
I like Savages and Rugers and own both brands. Just that they are not competitive in rimfire benchrest
My savage mark ii fv sr will hammer 1/2” at 50 yards. 100. Not so much. Cci standard velocity only one lot I have found will shoot like that though.I have a Tikka T1X, Bergara BMR, Savage B22. My next. 22lr purchase soon will be a CZ.
I have other .22lr's.
KMW, I shot my Savage B22 4 days last week. Everyday it shot to your requirements or better.
However I'm sure it will not clean a IBS 50 yard rimfire target. I also don't believe that's your intention of which the 2 rifles you asked about. You stated (fun league). Whatever purchase you make, take your 11 year old grandson out and have fun.
Tomorrow I will possibly lay some 100 yard groups down with mine, if I do I'll let you know how it goes.
It's almost like nobody reads the OP anymore, they all just have to throw their 2cents in though.Wasn't expecting a Premium rifle for $300.00. Never implied that either. Reason I included the pricing on these two rifles.
Are you sure about the 2-stage triggers? I have owned numerous 510, 511, and 513's and have never encountered one with a 2-stage trigger. Some of them have had a lot of movement (creep) before they fired but they certainly weren't a designed 2-stage.I buy 500 series Remingtons, 510, 511, 512 or 513s. If they have a decent barrel. Those Remingtons, barrels to actions fit, are held together by two tight fitting pins they as a group are very accurate 22 rifles. It costs a lot of coin to duplicate their accuracy today. A centerfire scope of quality mounted and you are in business. Triggers are two stage. These are a few 511s.
yeah I can see this thread has gone sudeways. Lots of comments with nothing to do with the question asked.It's almost like nobody reads the OP anymore, they all just have to throw their 2cents in though.
I have a Ruger American in .17hmr and a Savage MKii in .22. The American Synthetic stock is Adjustable for length of pull with 2 different options and feels more full size than a MKii. Ruger trigger is pretty much a copy of savage accutriger. The Ruger American also uses the flawless 10 round flush fitting 10/22 magazine. Opposed to the cheap protruding MKii mags.......... Sorry I don't have any experience with a B22........ But out of the box The Ruger American vs a MKii in both in synthetic stocks. Ruger win's in my opinion, it is just way more refined. Maybe they closed the gap with the B22?yeah I can see this thread has gone sudeways. Lots of comments with nothing to do with the question asked.

The b22 mag is flush fit, 10 rd rotary very similar to but not interoperable with the '10/22' mags.I have a Ruger American in .17hmr and a Savage MKii in .22.
