I want to get a 22 to have something to practice with that shoots cheap. I will almost exclusively be shooting it at the range and want to be able to shoot from a variety of positions. I also want it to be bolt action. I've decided to get the Savage Mark II. I was leaning towards the BV, which has a bull barrel. I read several places that it is a very good gun. My question though is if one should only use a bull barrel when using a rest. That would remove some of the versatility that I'm looking for. I've never shot or owned a rifle with a bull barrel before.
Oh, in case it helps, my primary interest in shooting is to prepare for hunting.
Thanks.
