In the past few years I have been casually dabbling in local rimfire benchrest competitions. Well today in the course of testing a couple of mods I made to my 10/22 my ruger and Savage FVSR ended up in an impromptu shoot off.
Both have stock barrels. Both are pillar bedded into Richards Microfit stocks. The ruger is modified for a rear cross pin anchor. Otherwise both are stock mechanically. The savage has a ziess 3x8x40 and the ruger a sightron 36x
A little breezy today for tiny bug holes but consistent across all 5 shot groups. Ammo is SK rifle match from the same box. Both rifles favorite. Both rifles were around 25 rounds from a through bore clean when the groups started
I hadn’t shot the savage in a few years and honestly it’s impressed me enough that I might buy a little more scope for it. The The ruger factory bbl just isn’t inspiring me. It also seems to slightly wander POI
Average of 5 50 yard 5 shot groups
Savage .748
Ruger 1.0
