View Full Version : Savage MKII FV-SR ??
I'm looking for a decent .22 bolt action suppressor host and was thinking that this would be a good one. But I can't find one locally, much less online anywhere so I wanted to get some input before back ordering one.
The stock looks like a terrible cheek weld but I could make a kydex riser or buy the Boyd's Tacticool stock. Who all here has one and what's your opinion on them?
I just put mine together in a Boyds Tacticool w/ DIP BOTTOM METAL. I used Burris Signature Zee rings with a Nikon P-22 2-7x32 scope. Sweet little package, accurate, and came in around $500 for everything.
I went shooting yesterday and got very good groups. I honestly had more fun shooting this .22 than anything else I have shot in a while.
Awesome thanks! How ling have you had it? I've been having HELL trying to find one in stock anywhere?

About a week ago my LGS parros.com had two in stock. That's where I bought mine. 802-244-8401.
Had it a couple weeks now. Local gun shop called Gunnies (Utah) had a few in stock.
Sorry missed that. I love mine!

The factory stock sucks even with a check riser, it might as well be made of pure rubber. The Tacticool stock is still kinda soft but plenty useable and cheek weld is much improved. Great little gun, Ive got one sitting in the safe waiting for me to get off my butt and mod but my friends FVSR is great. 3/4" groups with bulk ammo at 50yds all day long. Pretty good IMO for a factory cheapo rifle with junk ammo.
I own a Savage MKII TR and it shoots really well with Wolf MT 40g ammunition. You can't go wrong with a Savage .22 rifle.
As stated, the factory stock sucks and I'll admit that the metal finish isn't the best, but I love mine anyway. An inexpensive rifle that's quite accurate and has a great trigger out of the box will always be a good buy. :)
I don't mind the stock. It's nothing special but it works for me.

I run a CZ 452 American suppressed. Have you looked at one?
Compare them side by side you will buy the CZ. The 452 is a very accurate little bolt gun. I had my eye on a Savage but my lgs had me try both side by side. CZ felt like a center fire bolt rifle vs. the Savage felt like well a .22 But still the Savage would be my second choice.

The FV-SR comes with a stock that has integral bottom components molded into the stock. When you swap out the stock for a real one, you need a set of "bottom metal" to finish the assembly.
not a fan of ballistic drop reticles because ive have yet to see and accurately calculated one especially on a 2fp
does sightmark make a decent scope?

I second this. I have the 2-7x32 Nikon p-22 BDC. Whether or not the bdc works properly (haven't shot enough yet to tell) the glass is very clear for a cheaper scope.
I own a Savage MKII-TR and picked up a Nikon ProStaff 4-12x40 with mil dots to use on it. I was not completely happy with it and replaced it with a Bushnell Elite 3200 fixed 10 power scope with mil dots. I believe that the Bushnell has clearer glass and I am able to shoot better groups with it.
Update: I recently took the rifle out to the range and shot 1MOA groups with Wolf MT at 207 yards.

Ditto. I believe McMillan makes a stock for over $500 and there are the Boyd laminates which look nice but the inletting is not great.
I recently picked up a Mk ll FV and am in the process of setting it up. The plastic stock is not at all correct for scope use, so I have on order a kydex cheek rest from Tac-Pro (http://tacpro.com/product_info.php?cPath=14&products_id=20).
The upside of the plastic stock is that it seems much less flexible than the Hogue that came with my 700 SPS Tac and the action/barrel fits in it perfectly - the barrel is fully free floated and the action pulls down nicely in the stock. Normal handling of the rifle or using a bipod does not flex the forearm enough to make contact with the barrel. It's fully weatherproof and won't split like a wood stock. It may not be ideal, but it's not terrible either.
FWIW, since this rifle is intended for general target/plinking/pest control use, I'm topping it with a Clearidge Ultra RM 3-9x32, AO, Duplex Dot, Matte (http://clearidgeoptics.com/default.aspx?act=pro&opt=detail&id=833) scope in Leupold PRW low rings (http://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/mounting-systems/prw-mounting-systems/) - the AO bell should clear the barrel by about .05".

I have one with the Boyd's Tacticool stock as well. I get 1/2" groups with Wolf Match Target. I can easily go through 3-400 rounds playing on 2 and 300 yard steel. I have zero POI shift with my Silencerco Sparrow SS.

Yes the boyds tacticool is a drop-in but you will also need the DIP bottom metal kit.
Is this the stock?

It's a huge improvement! Only problem I had was needing a longer screw than what came with the bottom metal kit. Contacted savage and they sent out an extra long action screw.

Awesome, thanks.
I'll have to get one ordered, it looks great. Huge improvement in Aesthetics anyway.
Munch will they use AHC to process my payment!?! :D

That's the one I used (I think). They're cool if you want to call and ask.

I just got my Manners T4 in for my FVSR. This feels so much more solid than the tacticool I had and the action fits nice and tight. The forearm is very flat and easy to rest on a backpack, without the rifle wanting to tip over.

Whelp.... Didn't need to see that lol. How much? Doesn't come in multicam? And link? Thanks!:dance3:
This stock is molded GAP camo, not painted. The stock was $551 with the 2 flush cups and front stud. It was on their in-stock inventory. They have an OD green left.

Took mine out to the range today with some crappy fiocchi ammo and was thoroughly impressed. Sub 1" groups at 50 and 2" groups at 100 with a 7x scope. Not bad at all imo for a completely stock gun with less than 100rds down the pipe. Its a sweet shooting gun out of the box accuracy wise but its definitely a $200 gun fit and finish wise.
I hate the cheesy mag release and stiff ass bolt. I guess I'm just used to my rugers 77s but theyre also three times as expensive. For this guns intended use(varmint eradication with the sparrow) it'll do fine but just go into it with realistic expectations. It definitely needs a stock with a higher cheek riser so I'll be adding a tacticool. Other than that the trigger is pretty good and its very accurate for a stock gun.
This gun leaves me wondering if I'd like the cz455s though. I really like the precision trainer they make looks and review wise but aesthetically they look very similar. Does the PT have a stiff gritty bolt and tough mag release like the fvar does?

You could just buy the CZ 455 PT stock like I did. I wanted the 16.5" barrel for when I get my can. My bolt is very smooth after removing it, cleaning it well, then using some EWL. Mine was pretty stiff out of the box.

I had the opportunity to do a side by side comparison between the CZ and the Savage. The Savage is a nice gun but the CZ is noticeably smoother and I think it has a slight edge in accuracy.
I have an older 77/22 and have not shot in in so long I cannot compare the feel but the CZ is less picky about ammo.
They are also releasing the CZ 455 with a set trigger which I had the opportunity to try and it is really nice, like a good tuned Remington bolt action trigger.

I did the same. The 3200 is great for a rimfire.

I wanted a 77/22 and was very excited when my LGS had a used one in stock. I just didn't like the way it felt and especially at the price. I really like my little Savage.
For those that have the FVSR and a Boyd's Tacticool: Did anyone run into an issue with the in-letting on the stock being a bit off? I just received a Tacticool and the mkII action and magazine box sit cock-eyed in the opening on my DIP bottom metal. I'm wondering if this is common or if I should contact Boyds about a replacement. Also note that the magazine well appears to be straight in the craptastic factory stock.
I had the same issue with the DIP components not sitting flush or even. Also, the magwell plate screw (wood screw) wouldn't tighten down since the hole was already stripped in the stock. Not only that, but you have to be careful while torquing your action down. My tacticool started to make crackling noises at 20in/lb. this is why I went with the Manners T4.
Hmm, I hadn't considered that the opening in the DIP metal wasn't even (side to side). I'll have to check that.
I have also experienced the wood screw pilot hole being too large for the wood screw provided with the DIP components. I'll probably just source something slightly larger at the hardware store.
Functionally, the uneven opening is not causing a problem, I can still seat a mag, but I'm just the type of guy that it bothers me...
I keep telling myself not to expect too much from the Savage or the Boyd's stock. Even so, Savages do tend to shoot well for the coinage, and I traded a Walther P22 for the Savage, so I consider that a victory:dance3: And the tacticool is loads better than the stock provided with the FVSR from Savage. That thing would be low almost even for open sites! They really need to mold up a different OEM stock for rifles equipped with scope mounts and no open sites.

I've really been enjoying mine especially with the can. Its scary quiet with subs. Now I just need a tacticool stock so I can get a better cheek weld. Even with low rings its hard to get a good sight picture comfortably. If you're planning on running a can make sure you get a thread spacer.
I am really happy with the way my Mark II FSVR came out. I didn't mind the factory stock if I was just kicking around plinking because it is lite weight. However, the boyds Tacticool is a hard stock to beat for the money.
I am testing out the accuracy of different 22lr ammo now, but it has been consistently accurate with most brands. I only experience about 1/2 MOA shift to the 6'o'clock going from suppressed to unsuppressed.
When it is all said and done I probably have about $500 into my setup. (Minus the can)

Anyone have recommendations for a 1/2 x 28 spacer for the long threads on these rifles? I need something to get my Tac65 on there until I can get my gunsmith father to knock the threaded portion of the barrel back to .4" (I may have a long wait :rolleyes: )
I've seen the kinds that just smoosh over the threads with an o-ring and I don't really care for it. I'd prefer something metal and threaded with a nice square shoulder.

The tupperwear stock that comes standard doesn't have any of the splitting/cracking issues of the wood laminates and holds the action perfectly. A cheek riser solves the low comb issue. It's not perfect but it's very functional and immune to weather.
The Manners is a sweet stock and is probably the very best available for the Mkll.

What did you use to get the texture on your tacticool? I did the same pattern to my 10/22 tacticool stock. I used some textured spraypaint and went over it with black but your texture is much closer to that of the Tac Ops rifles.
What did you use to get the texture on your tacticool?
I believe the process I use is the same as Tac Ops, or at least very similar.
I use a product called MarineTex. It is a product made for boat repair, but it is basically just a high tensile strength expoy. I have used other epoxies but this product has worked best. Just apply a thin coat, let sit until it becomes tacky, then use a tool (butter knife) to dab up little peaks on the epoxy. Once it is dry just take a file and knock down the sharp peaks and you are done.

I have this BSA (http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/111210363793?lpid=82) on my CZ 455. It came free with some stuff I bought and I thought I would give it a try. Not a bad scope for the money and many people who shoot my rifle are surprised when I tell them the scope is a BSA.
A friend has one of these BSA scopes (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/456482/bsa-tactical-mil-mil-rifle-scope-30mm-tube-4-14x-44mm-side-focus-1-10-mil-adjustments-first-focal-mrad-reticle-matte) on both of his Savage 22's. He had one on his 308 and it came apart after a couple hundred rounds but BSA replaced it and he put that one on his 22. It is a first focal plane scope with milliradian reticle AND mil adjustments. If I remember correctly it focuses down to 10 yards which is what you need on a 22.
Take a look at Vortex and the Redfield Revenge scopes while you are at it.

I've had my FV-SR for over a year and a half, and after a 200 round break-in period or so, this thing has been shooting bugs ever since even with cheap ammo. It's hard to beat the value this offers in a precision 22LR and/or silencer host. In fact, as I say in the video, I lost my thread protector because I always shoot with my AAC Pilot attached.
I already have a Boyd's Tacticool stock for it, and that will be the subject of a future video. That said, you can still be happy shooting this even with the junky factory stock.

Is there a Savage .22 that doesn't need a stock change that's still a decent price? I don't need suppressor capability, not legal here. Is the gun "fine" for a whole without stock change?

The gun works just fine for me w/o a stock change.
Good to hear. Looks like ill be adding 2 bolts this year.
I'm just a plinker but it does fine for me. If you were doing serious target shooting I could see making the change or if you just want a better stock, have at it. But the cheap stock works for me.
Mine will arrive Friday- anyone find a better deal than $124.95 on an APV or $19.99 on 10rd mags?

It shoots fine with the existing stock. It's just something people need to be aware of before buying it so they aren't surprised.
Savage makes a longer version that comes with the Boyd's stock, but it has a weird Picatinny rail on it and too much barrel length for what I wanted.
Talk to me about an optic.
I'm looking at the Nikon 3x9's. Are there any good Leupold alternatives?
I have a Bushnell 3200 fixed 10X scope with mil dots on my Savage and it works well out to 200 meters. I think they retail for about $200. If you are going to hunt inside 50 yards with the rifle, it may not be the right scope for you.

That is a good way to put it. Keep in mind I also like GI triggers and don't mind the GI pistol grip. =)

I ended up getting a Leupold VX2 w/ wide duplex on a local forum for a decent price.

Just a heads up, for anybody looking to pick one of these up, Kentucky Gun Co has some in stock. I just purchased one today, and I am looking forward to trying it out.
Out of the box, added Mueller APV and a cheap Caldwell bipod (returning, shoulda just ordered the harris) this is a fantastic combo. 50m zero, started out 6" low and 1" left, 15 rounds later shot MOA or better. Left my phone in the car :( no freakin pics of the targets. Best 5 shot group was 1/2" and only fired 80 rounds through it today. I have never owned a bolt .22 before and regret not buying sooner.

This may be a stupid question but could a AAC Breakout or Blackout brake be mounted on this and then us a M42K suppressor? Am I way out in left field or is that feasible?

sure you can for VERY limited use, however I wouldn't since rimfire ammo will leave lead deposits inside your non serviceable M42K. I cant see a few rounds causing any damage though if you just wanted to try it.

Hmmm. If that is the case definitely not what I was thinking. My line of thought was that since I already have a M42K I could use that as a suppressor for this rifle instead of having to go through the whole ATF process again. It was just a thought.

So yes you can do it, however its not recommended since rimfire ammo is dirty and coats internals with vaporized lead unlike centerfire calibers.
These are rimfire baffles with a tad less than 2k rounds thru them. Trust me you don't want that junk in your expensive centerfire can!

These are the same baffles after I bead blast them to clean them which you can't do with the M42K

A quality 22LR bolt gun and suppressor should be high any everyone's list who doesn't have one.

Have the bolt .22lr and just sent the Form 4 in. Soon I will know what you are talking about.
By soon I mean in 16 months when my form comes back.

Yep just because you can use a centerfire can on a rimfire doesn't mean you should. This is the liner of my sparrow after ~1000 rounds half copper jacketed and half lead round nose.

My FVSR is a ton of fun with it on there. Definitely a worthwhile buy to add to the collection. That's a dang good deal at kygunco, I think I paid 250ish back in January for mine.

I just picked mine up last week and have it all together with an SWFA 6x42 on top. Hoping to put some rounds through it this weekend. I have about 4-8 weeks left to wait for my Spectre II to get approved and it is killing me.
Crappy pic on my workbench.

Only 25 yards, but that's a 10 shot group.
I have a video on my channel where I shoot at 200 yards and show dialing the scope up/down for the ranges. It's a 48-inch adjustment from a 50 yard zero to a 200 yard target. Also take a few seconds to hear the 'ding' at 200 yards.
You think a bullet is fast, until you have to wait for it.

Skim-bedding my Savage MKII in a Tacticool stock. I had it cut to 16" and threaded before the FVSR was available commercially.

Well considering I don't have a .22 in my safe yet (I know, shameful) and after seeing the awesome FV-SRs on here, I went ahead and ordered one. Bud's has them in stock for $227 and at that price I couldn't pass it up. While some think the CZ's are nicer, and may be, for the price I figured I couldn't f' it up too badly. Had to take my chances since none of my LGS had either in stock for me to fondle.
Now knowing how things usually go around here, I'll probably end up doubling the cost of the rifle with upgrades.:p
Anyway, if anyone is looking for mags for these, Impact seems to have the lowest prices right now.

I guess I never came back and posted a picture after my purchase. Here's where she's at. It's a plinker so I didn't put too much into it. New house in WI is being built as we speak and as soon as I can claim residency there, I'll be purchasing a Silencerco Sparrow for it.

I don't doubt that. The little amount of time I've had to shoot it I've been very impressed. I now just wish .22LR was easier to find, as well as the scarcer than unicorn tears subsonic rounds.
