Savage MarkII

[Robert Burdge]

What type of accuracy could I expect from a Savage MarkII rifle? Savage has started offering this model with a heavy barrel and peep sights. I recall reading that these rifles were originally manufactured by a Canadian company that was known for making target rifles.

I certainly wouldn't expect a modestly priced rifle to be competitive in a smallbore match, but I am looking for a practice rifle to work on my skills in standing and prone shooting for NRA Highpower. Would this rifle likely be capable of 3/4" 50m groups?

I read a review where accurracy was very good. Stock trigger is ok. An
aftermarket trigger is available. Try Brownells. DO NOT DRY FIRE THIS SAVAGE. It looks as if you can , but you cannot do so without damage.
