I need to get some updated video while using the bolt actions with my latest form 1 silencer. In all honesty, it's MORE quiet than one of the newer pellet guns. It's simply amazing even if I do have to say so myself.
I only have "a few" 22 rifles. I have two that I enjoy shooting more than the others.
Ruger 10/22 that I've shortened and threaded the barrel. Upgraded the mag catch, replaced the stock with one that I did a water immersion camo dip (natural gear camo), added a bipod, 1.5-5x shotgun scope, modified a weaver rail to a picatinny, swapped to one of the better BX trigger groups and magazines. It can make a big fat hole at 25 yards.
Can't find a photo of it since photobucket screwed everyone, but here's a pic of the stock after I dipped it.
The other, a Savage Mk2 FV-SR. Awesome little gun right out of the box. If you plan on scoping a 22 bolt action, this is a fantastic starting point. The plastic stock is a little on the flimsy side, but not as bad as some people make it out to be as long as you're not hogging all your weight on it. The gun is lightweight, 16 inch barrel is compact and balanced well. The large handle is welcomed.
I hand painted this one with krylon and a few pieces of sponge. There are about 4 different colors on the stock that don't show up real well on a camera, but blends well in person.
My youngest son has claimed my old Savage Mk2 so by all intents and purposes it's his now. I bought it several years ago from my nieces fiance'.
I did a Realtree water immsersion camo with the help of my youngest son, I lathed a large bolt handle like the one on the FVSR because he liked it better. Threaded the barrel. Added a Bipod. He likes to use irons so that's the way it's going to stay. It would probably be just as accurate as the FV-SR if he scoped it, but he likes plinking with it. He can peg shotgun shells with it at 20 yards pretty regularly with the irons, so the little red dot that's in the picture isn't on it anymore.
Where are the pictures of yours Nitesite?
