I certainly can't complain about them, they just seem to shoot and shoot bloody well for the $$$ both these Savages only cost around $450 each (2nd Hand) I honestly couldn't be bothered spending a $1k on a 22 just to shoot rabbits with.
For the $$ I'll happily stick with the 2nd market when it comes to 22's and Savage in particular, especially when they have been used for target shooting purposes, it generally means they have had all the mods and tunes done to them which makes them even more of a bargain.
The first time out with her new to her (2nd hand Savage Mk2) the Daughter put in a group that would almost fit into a 5c piece (not bad for a girl who only got the rifle and hadn't really shot much before - first time shooting groups too).
They generally get sold as those who are into shooting groups competitively need to go up to a Ansultz or other target rifle to get better groups - which works for me as I can happily use the Savage capabilities to smack gongs and bunnies in the head no worries at all.
, but by the sounds of it it's nice and light (fully adjustable) so depending on how it is I might have to put a bit of pull weight back into it to make it a bit easier for her to use.
Now all I have to do is sight it in and she'll be good to go then.
