All,
I am looking to purchase a new .22lr plinker. I am narrowed down to 2 choices. They are the Savage Mark2 with wooden stock, and the Ruger American Rimfire standard model with synthetic. Does anyone have hands on with either that can give me pros and cons? The rifle I buy will be used for offhand shooting at 40 yards or less.
Ruger:
I like the magazine. Doesn't stick out like the Savage does and will interchange with my 10-22. Don't mind the synthetic stock but it is not my first choice.
Savage:
Love the standard wooden stock. Hate the magazine because it sticks out. Lets be honest, Its a Savage and it will shoot great. Also like the raised comb on the stock in case I ever do mount a scope.
Thoughts? Keep in mind that $250 or slightly higher is all I want to spend and that I will not be modifying the rifles in any way so stock and aftermarket options do not appeal to me.
