A True Practical Rifle Just Perfect For The Backyard Sniper

To most folks, a bolt action  .22 caliber rifle is literally a “backyard plinker” and they would be right with that assessment , a bolt action .22 isn’t really  good for anything except paper, steel targets, or, if you like shooting varmints, then a bolt-action .22 is ideal.  The gun itself isn’t a big financial investment, nor is the ammunition, it’s about the cheapest shooter out there and truth be told, their kind of fun.

If you are lucky enough to have a place out in the country with a few acres, then you can probably identify with the man in the video. He practices with his .22 alot and he uses it for pest control and it seem just perfect for that. He has it suppressed so that he doesn’t bother his neighbors and that’s also a bonus, especially if you’re shooting pesky critters to keep them out of your chicken coop and out of your garden.

The rifle that the gentleman in the video is using, is the Savage Mark II FV-SR and here is what Savage Arms has to say about it:
