I wanted something more accurate than my 10/22, so I built this:
It's a Savage MkII FS that I got used, then it sat in my safe for 2 years without being fired because I couldn't get a decent stock for it out of the US. A place in NZ finally started importing the Boyds' stocks for a reasonable price and I got it all set up recently. Shoots great! ....with the ammo that I only had a couple of boxes of, not the ammo I have 5000 rounds of.
I've got the same stock, in brown, on a CZ 455. Feels really good, though it's heavier than I'd like. If the Savages had better magazines, I'd probably have one of those, too. I just always thought their magazines were cheap and chintzy as hell.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

They sure ain't pretty, but they seem to work ok - I haven't had any real feeding issues in the few hundred rounds I've fired with it so far. Main complaints are that the accutrigger is spongy and bad, the safety is easy to accidentally flick on when working the bolt, and it sometimes doesn't like to extract empty CCI subsonics. Which is fine because it's not got the same problem with Winchester which shoots groups half the size of the CCI.
It appears that you get the Aussie Winchester ammo, not the US stuff. That is a GOOD thing, the last few US Winchester products I've tried were less than satisfactory. I've relegated it to handgun use, where my eyesight will render better accuracy moot anyway.
In other words, I can't see to shoot very well any more, without a scope, lol.

This is indeed the case. It's good stuff. Nice big hollow point.
