alright....here's the dilemma......i need a .22 target rifle to practice 3 position with ......it doesnt exactly need to be competition grade.....but its got to come pretty close.....
.....the kicker......it needs to be under or as close to $500 as possible.........yeah, i know.......
what i had in mind was a savage Mark I/ Mark II FVT
http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/MARKIIFVT
i can get the mark I for $350 and the mark II for $400.......
and i planned on restocking it with a target stock
http://www.rifle-stocks.com/thumholetarget.htm
which will cost about $140.....
which will bring the total cost to about $490-540....right in my price range.
my other options would be a Kimber 82 from CMP
http://www.thecmp.org/22targetsurplus.htm
that would cost me about $600 and would take a few months to arrive........a little long to wait and a little more than i wanted to spend......
or...
an IZH cm-2/sm-2.....also for $600.....again...more than i really want to spend....
i am really leaning towards the savage option.....mostly for affordability and for parts availability...
so does anyone have any input or alternate options to consider?
