Savage 22 rifle

[Arobbins]

I have a savage arms 22rifle single shot. Marked springfield model 120a.how accurate are these rifles and are they junk

 

[back40]

have you shot it? what's your assessment on accuracy and quality?

 

[mooner]

What do you think? Have you shot it yet?

 

[Arobbins]

It seems to be a little off it has the bb gun style sights on it. Not sure what scope rings i can put on it to mount a scope. It has small groves for rings

 

[Vern Humphrey]

If it has grooves, by all means, mount a scope on it and shoot it for accuracy. Sometimes these little rifles with surprise you with their accuracy.

Pick out a scope too.

22's are only as good as the ammo feed to them and what they like best. Does not matter if its a 60 years old rifle or a brand new one. If the bore is nice in your stevens then it will probably shoot well and can be a toy or used to feed the family.

I have a Stevens rifle very similar to that and it shoots very accurate. It's as accurate as any rimfire rifle I own. They are based on a very simple design that should last forever. I guess that Stevens has killed more squirrels than all my other .22's combined. It's brought down hundreds of them.

Kinda missing the fact Winchester, Remington, and Savage/Stevens no longer produce good quality single shot boys rifles any longer.

Savage makes the Rascal which generally gets good reviews from owners and magazine type people. Henry also makes a single shot boys rifle (the Mini) that is considered to be a good rifle. Marlin makes a youth model and so does Ruger but they aren't single shot.
