    finally put some decent glass on the wee norinco..a 6x42 kahles no less...sighted her in today at 50ish yards..I had forgotton how nice the trigger is on this particular rifle...its almost 2 stage.take up pressure and get about mm of movement and then it stops with just a little more pressure needed,never notice it on game but on paper its really nice...breaks like glass from there.
    surprised again at how quiet it is with subsonic 42grn without suppressor/moderator...supers still have crack but the slow stuff is just a quiet report... mounted scope right back as far as possible rearwards for smaller folks to use.... bit of a crane prone for me...but will help with smaller folks who use it.

    Another question..... I'm totally confused as to which brand of suppressor to get for the Savage MkII? Any recommendations? Thanks

    The bunny buster can for sale here would be a good option. (As long as your savage is 1/2x20 threaded) Have the same on my cz and quite happy with it.

    Otherwise DPT seems to be the standard these days.

    Here's the new bunny rig. a Savage MKII .22LR, Nikko Stirling Panamax 3-9x40 ao ir scope (got it new from Wilsons in Whanganui for $179!) and a DPT suppressor. Haven't put any rounds through it yet but will try it with CCI subs over the weekend

    I'm happy with the accuracy so far with CCI 40gr subs. At 25m and a 25mm orange dot

    My Finnscout does similar groups - and it only cost $200!

    Back in 1983 lol!

    I sent the little Savage back to Wilsons in Whanganui as about 2 or 3 rounds from each 10 were failing to eject. A bit of internet research showed it to be a reasonably common problem. Kudos to Wilsons; they had it back to me within about 10-days after they'd had the chamber slightly reamed.

    Absolutely stoked with how well the .22 shoots; especially considering it's a basic entry level model. The groups should tighten more when I shoot prone rather than from the wobbly old picnic table! The paddock grass is too long to shoot prone at the moment, but will shoot it at a mates in the next couple of days. The orange dot is 25mm wide (5-shot groups at 25m). Now to go and do some door knocking around the neighbouring farms to see if they want their rabbit numbers reduced.

    Cleaning 22s, what is this dark magic you speak of?

    @northdude The only 22 I've ever cleaned was his rifle (and my old 10/22) when I bought them to get them ready to shoot for the first time
