I took a couple of test shot today and I think I received a bad magazine. It keeps jamming on every round. I should be able to shoot CCI .22LR sub sonics(750fps) correct ?
Shoots everything. I love to shoot CB's in the back yard. Less noise than my frends pellet gun.
And I paid $149.
Can't beat that. And forget about a scope. Iron sights are fine. I whacked a crow in the a$$ from 75 yards with the CB's. even beter longer accuracy with 40 grain CCI mini-mags.
This gun shoots accurate but these magazine are terrible. The original mag that came with the gun is really bad its impossibe to shoot two bullets in a row. Other then that this gun great and the Tasco scope is better then I was expecting.
Jamming, not good. Takes the fun out of it. I believe Walmart sells mags for the Mark II. I would take your mag along to compare when you buy. You don't see the 5-rounders much in stores; only 10's. I need a couple myself.
I would also call Savage and talk to their customer service folks. But I would try to get a mag or two in the meantime.
I would recomend a Savage MKII series rifle if you want to buy domestic.
If you dont mind otherwise, than the russian and yugoslavian rifles offered by Winchester and Remington, the TOZ and Zastava, are excellent rifles as well, and availible new for under $200. The Zastava is sold as the Remington model 5, and the TOZ as the Winchester wildcat.
Well its no the mags. It does matter which one I use its impoosible to enjoy shooting this gun. I can fill a new mag slide it in and the first round will jam. I going to have to send it to Savage errr ! I am not touching the magizine when I shoot. When I watch the bolt come back the bullets are not inline with the barrel. They are low by at least an 1/8" and it looks like the bullets are diving down when the bolt moves forward. I should have went with the marlin I think.
I have a Marlin 981T and with a cheap Bushnell 4X it shoots all 17 rounds through a quarter sized hole at 75 yards. For the money these are great rifles. The trigger is sorta rough but I got used to it real fast and it's caused me no major issues with accuracy.
