Hello all,

I decided to intro myself here since this forum is where I will spend most of my time.
I recently acquired a Savage MKii FVSR in 22lr and am hooked on rimfire.
Mods so far are:
Caldwell bipod
EGW 30moa rail
Weaver 4 screw rings
Athlon Argos BTR 6-24X50 scope
Boyd's At-One stock
Target inserts for stock
Self made bad rider

How it started..

Next...

Lastly, I painted the barreled action grey to better match the stock.

Only mod left is a suppressor.

Thats a pretty badass rig. I bet it stacks the bullets in the same hole. Welcome aboard. This might be a small forum but is by far the tightest knit one on the internet.

That is a nice looking set up. I would love to see pictures of some targets! What is the longest range you have tried it at?

Nice grouping is right ! What ammo were you using for that target? (brand, weight, velocity, etc.)

I also shoot Aguila standard velocity 40gr at 1130 fps and Federal hv match 40gr at 1250 fps. The aguila is almost as accurate as the CCI. The Federal is not as consistent as either of the fore mentioned brands.

How about a 1 inch 100 shot group? I did have 2 fliers and a really bad pull.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181113/89f9428521fe7cb1480c0c555a709b8e.jpg

Looks like you are shooting at washing machine doors in one of those pictures.
