Plus, you’ll have more diversity in the courses you’re studying, with different topics to help keep you engaged. Each year you’ll complete the same number of units as a single degree, eight courses across three terms. Two degrees doesn’t mean double the workload. In most cases, a double degree only takes one to two years longer than a single degree. If your budget is smaller, go for the Mark II FV or the FV-SR.By completing the core courses of each degree at the same time, you can complete two undergraduate degrees in less time than if you studied them back-to-back. I suggest that if your budget is bigger, you go for the best, the Mark II TR. I say get the FV and put your own scope on. These rifles have cheap stocks, 21” barrels and differ only in that the XP comes with a cheap scope which costs $63 more than the MSRP $242 FV model. This is the short 16.5” barrel version that comes with a mounted rail for MSRP $284. This rifle has a 21” barrel, a beautiful stock and is $400. It comes with peep sights which is a waste if you do not plan to use them. This rifle has a 21” barrel and seems a great deal at MSRP $471. This is another beautiful gun with a 21” barrel, and the thumbhole stock is fine unless you will be sharing your shooting joy with left-handed shooters. MSRP $519 The BSEV is similar and is a real eye grabber at $620 MSRV. This is a beautiful gun with a 21” twist fluted barrel. The TR has my favorite stock and a 22” barrel. I will list them in my order of price, from high to low. All have the same actions, and all have the acutrigger, which is great for those that do not compete professionally. This means that you are left with 7 options. Having a longer barrel does not hurt, but unless intelligent comments below indicate otherwise, I suggest that a 16” will perform as well as a 22”. 22LR, the small amount of powder burns completely by the time the bullet reaches the ATF’s minimum barrel length requirements. We generally believe that we want longer barrels to improve accuracy, right? The primary reason longer barrels have better performance is that they allow all of the powder to burn, thus creating more thrust of the bullet. 22 for mobile varmint control might have different preferences, but generally a heavy barrel is preferable for accuracy. My first way to narrow down the huge list of models is to insist upon a heavy barrel. 22 LR rimfire for target shooting, the following non-technical thoughts might be of interest. If you want an accurate bolt action magazine fed. Much comes down to personal preference, and mine is for a specific purpose.


Savage has a website that is difficult to use when comparing rifles unless you use it in a very particular way, so I would like to save you a few hours of research by sharing what my thoughts are.

My wife bought a heavy barrel Savage Mark II BTVS for me as a birthday gift, and I have enjoyed it. Some competitors had the high end Anschutz rifles with $1500 scopes, but one of my mentors used his Savage with a $400 Weaver Grand Slam scope and did really well. I owned a Savage Mark I Youth model accidentally, but then I began competing in rimfire benchrest competitions. This Savage Mark II Review by Shepard Humphries: JHSE founder Shepard Humphries uses them for rimfire competitions! Ours are outfitted with a high power telescopic sights with a cross-hair reticle. The Savage Mark II is a single-shot bolt-action rifle chambered in.
