Hey Jalops,
I thought I'd share that I'm now the proud owner of a Savage Mark II FV-SR. :)
In other news, I am working on going through my photos from Monterey, now that I have internet again they should be up soon! (or at least some of them.. )

Awesome! What does it shoot? I have an old savage side by side double barrel shotgun I love!

The mark 2 is a very good rifle, one of my friends has a Mk2 BTVSS, shoots like a dream.
I take it you got the short threaded barrel because you are getting a suppressor?

Awesome, I'm really excited as I've heard great things about the gun. And you would be very correct on the suppressor, maybe not right away, but I definitely want to get one.

It's pretty hard to go wrong with a Savage, especially at the prices you can get them for in the USA. I mostly collect and shoot old firearms, my "youngest" rifle is about 35 years old, so I'm not really used to the whole "picatinny rail, big bolt handle, accu-trigger black rifle" thing, but from my limited experience with them, the F series savages shoot very well. I'm sure you'll get great mileage out of it!
Sadly, In Australia, our government decided that we'd all turn into mass murdering lunatics if we had access to suppressors and semi-autos, so the Short barrel with suppressor is kind of a pipe dream :( A real pity, I've shot a fair few suppressed rifles, and they are great!

I have definitely heard that, I mean for $260 out the door it can't be beat, but I am quite upset about the price of ammo these days. That is unfortunate about no suppressors and or semis, pretty awesome you've shot some before though, I'd love to get one someday!

I only have one bolt gun....
While this isn't my exact rifle, its close. .300WM. I'll try to take a photo of mine later tonight.

It's their AICS on a Rem 700 long action, but it works. My only issue is the factory pencil barrel... eventually it'll be replaced. That and a crappy scope that can't take .300WM
