tikkamark Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I was in the gun shop today picking up a lightforce scope light and while the lad fitted the bracket for me he let me have a look at a savage hmr,at a distance i thought it was a remmie like johngalways stock looks exactly the same ie very nice the grip area is just perfectly formed and fits like a glove.It seemed to have a fairly sweet trigger think they call it the accutrigger it felt a lot better than one on my current marlin.Any views on this rifle would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbruno Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 i used to know a fella who worked in the savage factory here in Canada as far as i know all the savage rimfires are made here and from what i can tell seem to be the best on the entry level rimmys far better then a marlin i would recomend a savage to anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazza Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Hi Mark, a good friend of mine has 2 savage rifles, a .22 and .243,and he has owned more in the past. He likes them. Personally I don't and his hasn't been too reliable with his .22 having ejecting problems, however with all guns, he could have just been unlucky.

tulkyuk Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 The only down side i could find with the gun is the mag looks a bit on the small side do you know what they will hold? All of the HMR's only have small mags (god knows why), My mag only holds 4 and 1 up the spout. if your going to buy try to get hold of a couple of spare mags, incase it gets hectic while you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 tikkamark, That is my favorite stock of all that are on the market at the moment. It is made by boyd's gunstocks in the US and as you mentioned it just feels great on the shoulder and in the hand. They retail $189 USD for most actions as a drop in and they will inlet them to one degree or another for most rifles. Not sure what it would take to get one across the pond here. I too really like the accutrigger in the savage. I have the R93 in stainless synthetic sporter weight without the accutrigger. It shoots well (<1" at 100 yd in calm conditions) but I have to watch how I pull the trigger as it isn't nearly as smooth as I'd like. I may do a trigger job on it, but for the MBPR of that gun it is acurate enough. The accutrigger is so much smoother, plus you can set it a lot lighter than the non accutrigger that it doesn't cause the same problems as I have. I am building my own 223 at the moment. It will be the savage with accutrigger, but dropped into the Boyd's stock. I know it isn't the gun you asked about, but it pertains tot he relevant bits. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
