Mr_happy Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I am a left handed shooter who is struggling with the poor selection of .22 rimfire rifles available! I fancy the thumb hole style stock and the CZ isn't available in L/H. Does anyone out have a BTVLSS and is it any good??? Help please....

Mr_happy Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 haven't got one but have shot one and was nice to shoot, i am looking to buy the same myself when i get the chance Hi sidawson, Thanks for your reply. I have read so many reviews on the gun that say its fantastic that I thought it was the one for me!! Then I came across a web page by portercalls (Link included below) saying the opposite.... He is under the impression that without extensive "modification" the gun is rubbish!! I did notice however that the posts he makes start back in 2013, has Savage Arms made any updates/improvements to the rifle since its launch? Any experts out there please join in. http://www.portercalls.com/savage_mark_ii_btvlss__22lr.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Anschutz used to do a left hand 1417 thumbhole. Don't know if they still do but might be worth looking into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorvale55 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I tried several Savage rifles about 18 months ago at a local open day. They all had problems feeding or extracting cases. Personally I would not have one but each to his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I've had a couple, no problems with the rifle, lovely trigger, magazines are carp. IMO, I'd go cz, I've been through SO many rimfires and have finally learnt to stick to a well performing workhorse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzab Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 My HMR is savage. Love it. Accurate as you like and never had an issue. I did read somewhere about possible round feeding issues there is a mod people have done to mag and seems to sort it. I've had no issues with mine though..
