Savage FV SR

[MLR]

I have been considering one of these to use with the SS Sparrow I ordered for my Ruger 22/45 handgun. I do worry about the quality of the Savage though. A number of years ago I was looking into the savage 22 target rifles and it seemed that they were having quality issues back then. Can anyone comment on the rifle and its quality?

The barrel finish is kind of rough and like has been said, the factory stock is craptastic. However, it seems quite accurate, I have no issues with the bolt binding and the trigger is excellent. Well worth the cost IMO.

This. My son completely gave up the 10/22, the 15/22, and a model 60 when I got the FV SR. It's his favorite to shoot and he's done his best to wear it out, I've shot it a fair amount as well. Who'd have thought a 9 year old would prefer a bolt gun to an semi-automatic?

If this is the only problem I might go ahead and pick one up. What had me scared was that on some of the early models of the heavy barreled target versions of these rifles there were cases of sights being non functional because of improper installation and bolts that did not close properly. This made me wonder about the overall quality of this line of rifles.

Can anyone tell me the part number of the Boyds Tacticool stock for the FV-SR rifle that we are talking about here?

I just picked one up from Big Boys. They had a couple left.
