I have a savage Mark II non accu trigger, wood stock, wearing a cheapo bushnell 4-12. I just seen a local gun shops black Friday ad has Savage Mark II F, G and FV on sale for $150 with a free Savage chaser mug and the A22 for $200. I have the accu trigger on a heavy barrel 223 I use for longer range work but a friend of mine said its not worth the headache of extra $ for 50yards and under so keep what I have.
Here is my questions.
1) Why a heavy barrel on a 22lr? I don't think I've ever gotten my 22 hot enough to need a heavy barrel. Does it increase accuracy? Too heavy to drag around the squirrel woods?
2) Anyone use the A22? I have heard wives tales that semi auto Rimfires aren't accurate like a bolt action. I think that a semi auto would be pretty fun to shoot but accuracy is king! I already have issues making headshots on squirrels in the top of an oak tree and don't need anything inhibiting that! lol.
Any other recommendations welcome.
