SAVAGE MARK II G 22LR

[@TerriblyTactical]

I MISPOKE ABOUT WHERE THIS FIREARM IS MADE. IT IS MADE IN CANADA AND IMPORTED TO THE U.S.A.

[@henerymag]

Lakefield Ontario actually. Of the about 200,000 made each year 90% are exported to the US, 10% are left for us Canucks to scramble for.

[@Raevenswood]

I'm ok with this.

[@dylancohen9166]

That's a 12 round magazine

[@ssrc30]

Lakefield use to be Cooey. They've always made amazing guns.

[@frankyg2384]

@@dylancohen9166 10, I can only fit 10 in mine.

[@peterisaacs1344]

I have the left handed version and love it. Cycles smooth even with the long bolt and is quite accurate. Performance is 1st class.

[@TerriblyTactical]

Agreed!

[@mmc2565]

Here a few years later looking for an affordable .22lr bolt action with a wood stock. Would you still recommend this ?

[@TerriblyTactical]

Absolutely!

[@mmc2565]

@@TerriblyTacticalThanks. Great review

[@TerriblyTactical]

@@mmc2565 thanks or watching!

[@Andrew-sv6zq]

Savage makes excellent rifles. I own the Model 64 and the Mark II. My Mark II does not have the adjustable trigger. It's a Walmart special with the black fiber stock. For $156, there are no complaints. I do think that the bolt could use a little polishing though just to smooth it out.

[@TerriblyTactical]

Excellent guns for sure!

[@TuntematonMies-q2w]

Is there a way to decock it without dry firing it?

[@TerriblyTactical]

With the bolt back hold the trigger to the rear and slide the bolt forward and close it.

[@dennisgraham3087]

I purchased the Mark 2-F last week, I've put a few rounds thru it so far. and I like how accurate it is out of the box. I saw the same model G like yours at a local gun / sports store today for around 300. It looked pretty nice with a scope.

[@TerriblyTactical]

These guns are the best buy in my opinion for the money hands down!

[@dennisgraham3087]

I took my Mark II to the range ( indoors) this morning to site in the scope, started out at 15, then 25, then finally at 50 yards. wished I could share the pictures. It went Great 1/4 to 1 inch groups. until I started shooting at distance, but that's just because of me. I still got some nice groups at 50, but the 15 and 25 were far better. Basically All of my good groups will fit within a dime size. out of 50 rounds I had 7 flyers of this 7 only 3 were complete misses. ( I adjusted the scope in the wrong direction.) The other 4 were hits. though 2 were responsible for taking the side of the targets right ear off. ( I was shooting a human sized target / B21E Bones.) the other two were cranium hits but we're at least 2 inches apart. ( most likely my fault) otherwise it's was a really good shoot and the Mark 2 performed flawlessly.

[@Peterowsky]

What does the safety DO? Does it block the trigger? The firing pin(s)? The bolt? Everything? Does it stop you cycling the gun? How does the accutrigger work? Is the 21.5" barrel long or short in that class? Is that a heavy barrel? A light barrel? An Average Barrel for that length? Does it have any hiccups with any particular ammo? (the answer should be no, since it's a frigging bolt action, but stranger things have happened) How does it shoot? What's the weight on the accutrigger like on each stage? Is there a disadvantage to "pressed wood"? But yeah, it's range-ready out of the box. You can go get some critters. And it has iron sights (are they zeroed?). Because that's all anyone should care about in a .22 rifle. Did I mention the apocalypse yet?

[@michaelbellwood2349]

I have one Off them it's fantastic just got the savage in .17 HMR it's fantastic to

[@ThepDenNgoaiBien]

compare to marlin...sameting

[@castmastersoutdoors7762]

I cant tighten the barrel and the stock there is too much wiggle

[@TerriblyTactical]

@@castmastersoutdoors7762 what?

[@gfhfmf]

What I really like about Savege rimfires is Anschultz type bolt, safety and even magazine

[@TerriblyTactical]

They are solid

[@regsparkes6507]

You mentioned not to use .22 Shorts or Longs,..( at the 3:39 mark ) .I have used the shorts all day long,..BUT I load them one at a time..i.e. I don`t use the supplied magazine for this size ammo. These Savage rifles are every bit as good as CZ rifles,...I have a couple of those too,.and truthfully, the Savage is better, if not, then just as good. ( depends on the shooter) Seeing that you mention Ruger a lot,..I should remind folks that Marlin makes some pretty great rimfire rifles too and they do have a Marlin Pro-fire trigger systems available . If you want to look at a Marlin that is equal to this Mark II G , try the Marlin XT-22.

[@mangos7587]

So do u have more than 1 savage bc im decideing between this and the mk2 fs vr

[@artgallery743]

So this can be shot as a single shot, is that without the clip inserted? As a single shot, can you shoot .22 short or longs?

[@TerriblyTactical]

It's not recommended because of the extra wear it can cause on the extractor but it can indeed be done yes.

[@TheSteelCanadian]

My safety won’t engage when the bolt is locked in, not sure why, but when it’s open I can engage the safety

[@TerriblyTactical]

Interesting

[@sergeiche]

Just received this gun yesterday. My first rifle. What scope would you recommend to use with it?

[@TerriblyTactical]

Lil 3x 9x 40 should be a good lil choice

[@doughoag]

The stock looks like a twin to my old (1982) Model 64. I have this model on my "to get" list as I recently got interested in casual target shooting. If it's even slightly more accurate than my old Model 64, it should be excellent. I can do 1" groups at 50 yards with it, and it's semi-auto! Looking forward to seeing what I can pull off at 100 yards with this bolt action! Great review, by the way!

[@TerriblyTactical]

It's an excellent shooter no doubt! Thanks for watching!

[@pnotuner1]

Buyers beware!!! The Mark II F at Wal-Mart does NOT have the Accutrigger!!! The trigger pull It's about 8 lbs. Not adjustable!! I can't shoot decently with a trigger like that. My Mark II with the accutrigger trigger pull is 2.5 lbs

[@regsparkes6507]

I'm surprised that you find the lack of an accu trigger something to be concerned about. If you check with Savage rifles you'll see that not all of their rimfire rifles are equipped with this trigger system. That's no big deal,..I guess we just have to know what we are buying.

[@tacomas9602]

Reg Sparkes The accu trigger is amazing.

[@regsparkes6507]

@@tacomas9602 Yes, it's a good system for sure as is the similar trigger used on Marlins and Rugers. But, apparently the Savage Accu Trigger is NOT installed on all rifles. I would suggest to keep it's selling prices low, Wal-Mart would have ordered those rimfire rifles for that reason. However these rifles still can shoot accurately without this feature.

[@dennisthemenace9387]

Nice review. You've had this now for a few years so what is the updated opinion? I am picking this up from my local FFL next week. Any issues or concerns? What has been your take on the rifle now that you've had it a bit?

[@TerriblyTactical]

Other than the 7 round mags I love this thing. Super accurate and simplistic and gets the job done everytime!

[@24va67]

Kinda late but on these can you just put a scope on it or do you need to buy extra parts?

[@TerriblyTactical]

You would need a mount of some sort yes

[@yawenclaudio5756]

Just got one of those but with an integrally suppressed barrel (I’m in France and suppressors are not regulated) and I was wondering what accuracy do get out of yours. I can get pretty consistently sub 2 MOA groups.

[@wades943]

Sub 2 moa at what range?

[@yawenclaudio5756]

@@wades943 Both 50 and 100 metres, haven't shot for groups when shooting further than that

[@littlewing7813]

Thats a 10 round magazine that comes with it from the factory. Only thing I dislike about this rifle is the plastic trigger guard.

Yeah that does kinda chince it out

i got one when i was 7 im 12 now i can hit a head size steel target at 178 yards iron sights and 134 yards off hand

[@TerriblyTactical]

That's awesome!

[@chasebowyer486]

I've shot 22 shorts through mine it never hurt mine but I'm not saying for everybody to do it but you could only shoot one at a time and it won't feed through the magazine

[@TerriblyTactical]

Yeah most bolt guns will do that. Don't wanna make a habit of it though.

[@polo7721]

Mine doesn’t have iron sights

[@TerriblyTactical]

Might be a different model

[@pootthatbak2578]

Took advantage of dicks sporting goods gun sell off/close out. Got a mark II-GXP, with scope for 230usd. Looks just like the model in the video, but didnt have the accu trigger, mine doesnt have iron sights as highlighted in this video either, Is it a fair trade off? Losing trigger sensivity for a basic scope?

[@TerriblyTactical]

As long as the rifle operates as intended I'd say you did alright!

[@JW-bw8nj]

I personally wouldn't trade the accutrigger for a basic scope. I opted to get the Mark IIG with the accutrigger and buy a better scope than the one that comes in the package.

[@Tertion]

Nice review. One mistake however : its not made in the USA, its made in Canada. (kind of the spiritual descendant of the Cooey Model 60)

[@Dutch.1722]

Do they sell 5 round mags for this rifle?

[@TerriblyTactical]

I think 7 is the smallest I've seen

[@j0shn05]

I don’t know if you will see this, but if you do, could you tell me if the stock/ body of the gun is wood

[@TerriblyTactical]

It is walnut from my understanding

[@j0shn05]

Terribly Tactical ok thank you. I was only wondering bc I was planning on giving mine a paint job and wasn’t sure if it was legit wood since it sounded hollow

[@Dougarrowhead]

If you cant tell if this is wood you shouldnt be allowed to look at a gun much less touch one.

[@joerico9461]

Hell yeah Rock on 22lr's rule I kn this is a old video but that don't change the fun that comes with a 22. Everyone should have a 22 with a good scope on it .POU- competition shooting / haunting,to just punching holes . Not to mention the cost of ammo compared to Centerfire .

[@TerriblyTactical]

Amen to that and thanks for watching!

[@outdooraddventure]

Yes it's walnut the manual says so

[@TerriblyTactical]

Nice

[@ronalddavis]

not walnut. walnut "finished". its either birch or beech

[@artgallery743]

Can this be shot without the clip inserted, as a single shot? If so why couldn't you shoot .22 short or longs?

[@TerriblyTactical]

You definitely could but it will cause extra wear on the extractor over time

[@Mark-rk1gg]

Is that a heavy barrel?

Why should everyone have a 10/22?

Parts commonality and mag availability. Plus they are one of the most proven 22 rifles ever made and they have the biggest aftermarket support for them.

To keep socking more money into it to make it worth keeping. all the extras you can buy for hundreds and hundreds of dollars and in the end it still just a 10/22 , get a TC Arms TC/R22 All ready has all the options installed for a few dollars more
