The only thing useful about the 10/22 is that it looks like the mini 30. I should really look at selling the ones I don't use but keep procrastinating.

I know the feeling! The Ruger 308 in my safe must be starting to realise I prefer the Savage beside it.

I like my Ruger 308 scout. I think the Spanish Mauser is sulking though and the SKS's are lonely now the mini thirty is there. Problem is I can't be arsed selling privately mainly due to security and a shop will give me sweet $#@/ all for them.

Interesting topic.

Re Axis and Savage - Someone else early on in the thread said it pretty well. Savage offer a large range of rifles, from low end to mid-high end. Savage mid-high end stuff are very good, comparable to true high end brands in accuracy and all but half the price. Savage's accu-trigger is the first of its kind in mass production rifles. the accu-stock is also pretty good for mass produced rifles with plastic stock. for their mid level rifles they do btton rifling and guarantee 1 MOA. Of course, they do make cheaper low end stuff to compete with Brazilian, Russian, Turkish and Chinese low end stuff. How can they be blamed? Luckily no one is forced to buy them. If you want better quality stuff. spend 1399 you get decent rifles like this:

Savage 16FLSS 7MM08 Left Ss-syn Accutrigger - click, herenote, mail, order, permit, approved, ... - Serious Shooters

Re 10/22 and Marlin - I think there is nothing mythical about the difference between them. Ruger wants to make the most tolerable semi 22LR, it succeeded. factory 10/22 will shoot any 22LR ammo and will hardly ever jam. if you want a gun that will always shoot, but do not need surgical accuracy or sub-10 pound trigger, 10/22 is your gun. Marlin on the other hand makes their chamber tighter which in turn produces tighter groups out of factory, but also way more likelihood of jamming and misfire with rougher ammo.

To make a factory 10/22 accurate, you do not need to spend 1 grand. you only need a 400 dollar whistle pig barrel. Better trigger gets expensive however.

Some good bugger posted a link to a runout on mossberg here a while ago.

My mate got one as I passed on the link.....mgiht have been 200? 300? bucks scoped with a bag and maybe a cleaning kit as well, astounding value

No it wasnt a S&B scope of course and we replaced it with a second hand vx3 off here but it shot around 1-1.5 inch with the only brand and weight of ammo tried on the shooters first go at a range ever.

He shot a deer in the neck at around 15 yards the next weekend with it.

Nobody NEEDS a Sako its just something Blaser owners aspire to.

A few years back Blasers marketing department decided to focus on gay hunters, it was a master stroke and has paid big dividends for the brand.
