    New guy with a new 22lr

    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?

    I have shot it out to 200 yards but not with the current scope.
    This is a 20 shot group at 50 yards..


    I made a muzzle brake for it today.....

    Thanks all for the welcome and nice words.

    You do realize you don't have any fingernails, right?

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

    O was and still am using CCI standard velocity, 40gr, 1080fps. 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.

    Shot about 100 rounds today. The last 15 were almost covered by a nickel.

    How about a 1 inch 100 shot group? I did have 2 fliers and a really bad pull.

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

    It is the shell of a washing machine. I took all the guts out of it.
