Whats better a 10/22 or a Savage Mark 2

Question

I have a Ruger 10/22 but my friend wants to sell me his like-new condition Savage Mark 2 for $85 (it has a free floating fluted barrell and 3*9-40 scope). Should i buy it and then buy a folding stock for my 10/22 to have for my jeep?

Answer 1

$85.00 sounds like a steal to me.

Answer 2

Of course buy it..... It doesnt and shouldnt be compared to the Ruger 10/22..... The Savage is a bolt action rifle and they tend to be more accurate than a semi-auto which is what the Ruger is....

Answer 3

Good price on the Savage.

Don't get rid of the Ruger. Too many different toys out there that fit it.

Go on...  you need it.

Least that's what I tell my wife.

Answer 4

A Mark 2 for 85$?

If it's in good shape, grab it.

Answer 5

Either is good.  Both is better!  :D

Answer 6

Ruger 10/22 rifles are the best.  I own two myself.  Ruger has an excellent repulation for reliability and also for great customer service if you should need it.  There are perhaps millions of 10/22 rifles and parts are easy to find and affordable.  Also, as another poster put it, there are tons of neat accessories for the Ruger 10/22.  If I were going to only own one .22 rimfire rifle, it would be the Ruger 1/22.

Answer 7

Buy the Savage! That's a deal and you will have a far superior target rifle. Maybe not as fun to "spray and pray" shoot like your 10/22, but much more satisfying if your goal is to actually hit the target.
