Savage A22? - 04/21/24
Anybody have any experience with one?
I won a Savage A22 22 long rifle last week. I’ve owned a few 22 autos over the years but never a Savage. After getting it home I proceeded to break it down to clean it. It had so much oil on and in it, it was actually dripping out of the action. Got everything dried off, run patches through the bore and got all the oil out of it.
After removing and cleaning the included pic rail I got it reinstalled and torqued. I had some Burris Signature Zee rings in my parts box and an older Japanese made Sightron S1 3-9x40 duplex I figured I’d try. Got the scope mounted, reticle leveled and bore sighted.
Sighting in was painless and got it zero’d at 50 yards. All I can say is that I was surprised how well the little rifle shot and how accurate it was even though the trigger sucks. I’m not even sure what ammo I was shooting because I had dumped a bulk pack into a Tupperware bowl a couple years ago and threw away the box.
I might have to find a place in the truck for it when checking pasture fences.
