I need some advice/input.
While getting well along in life, I have diligently maintained my sustainment training on two of my former force protection weapons – the .45 ACP (now an officers model) and the #00-loaded, tactical 12ga. I see no need to include the M-1 or M-14/M1A at this point. Anyway, it is not leisurely shooting – it is a necessary trial (at least the shotgun) – and thoughts of its ultimate usage are often depressing.
I have recently bought my grandson an unused, 2001, primo-never-shot, Savage Mark I GY, bolt-action, single-shot, .22 S/L/LR rifle. In looking it over and bringing to shoulder and the feel of it and whole idea of it, my interest in a just-plain “fun gun” to shoot has been piqued. No worries about its purpose, nor its tempo of employment. I enjoy the elegance of simplicity and effectiveness-of-purpose, and I now do covet an inexpensive, .22LR single-shot of my own. I think I have the feel for a Savage Mark I G (full adult version), but am also aware of the single-shot, break-action, H&R Sportster.
Any comments about those two, including quality, accuracy, reliability, dealings with factory service, etc.?
