Wanted to share what may be a good buy in a new .22
I picked up a Savage MkII bolt-action with a Bushnell 2-9x40 (on a really pretty tiger-stripe stock!) at Dick's for under $200. I had a $10 coupon and it was on sale, but I'd recommend looking out for it if a bolt .22's in need.
It's magazine-fed, not sure if there are options on that; has swivels. Seems like a rifle with enough qualities to recommend it. I have a plinker (Marlin 60), but practicing the basics on a bolt .22 just seems like a no-brainer. If I get rid of it, it will likely be because I'm giving it as a trainer. But I can see getting tons of fun out of it and really enjoying the accuracy, can't wait to sight it in!
