Think so? Is this abnormal for the Savage?
Was referring to it liking cheap ammo!
Every Savage I have shot like that is super accurate. Well, actually two, Studentofthegun's and Slacker's.

I would have thought so as well but I'm going to have to see it first. I hope it does!But I think the CZ will surpass it.

I also plan to try some other brands as well as soon as I come across them being sold in single boxes. I don't want to pay $65+ for a brick that my gun doesn't like.
Good idea. I have heard good things about the Wolf Match and SK Standard. Just haven't been able to find any locally.What I have done is waited until Sportsman's Guide runs a free shipping code, then ordered a bunch of different types of ammo in 'single' boxes. They have a decent selection, with much more diversity than what I can find locally. For whatever reason, my rifle shoots best with the GECO Bolt Action Optimized and the Wolf Match.
InterestingIt may seem hard to believe but use a Jones Gauge to measure rim thickness and sort it by thickness will shrink groups even more. Some people buy cases of rimfire to keep the same lot/run number and sort by rim thickness in said lots because that .01" difference does make a difference sometimes.

Definitely interested. What kind of gear is needed in addition to the rifle? Which division would be best suited for the beginner? Is it possible to shoot the match twice in separate divisions?The participants in this thread may find this interesting:

Have one of these coming this week. 2" down to .25". Should be fun at 50+ yards!

Still can't manage to get the CZ to shoot like the FV-SR but it's getting closer. Just seems to be somewhat inconsistent compared to the Savage. I really believe it's the trigger. Even with the lightest YoDave spring it just isn't as nice as the Savage Accu Trigger
5 shot groups at 50 yards with Norma Tac
Those are pretty good groups for 50yds. Norma Tac is actually made by RWS and I would classify it as lower tier target or match grade ammo in the ballpark of Wolf/SK Standard/Geco/RWS Target/Eley Club. You can always try different lot#'s of a specific ammo to see if it improves some, or spend more $$ on higher end ammo. However, that is pretty standard performance for that level of rimfire ammo.
As for the CZ trigger with a Yo-Dave kit not being better than a Savage Accu-trigger.... I have to respectfully ask if whoever did the trigger work on the CZ used the correct shim and spring combo?
I've shot a LOT of Savage Accu-triggers and Yo-Daved CZ's and never found the Savage to be better. What is your pull weight for both triggers?
Where did you find the Target? I've been thinking about picking one up.Have one of these coming this week. 2" down to .25". Should be fun at 50+ yards!

This is a group that was shot from the same distance with the Savage using CCI Standard Velocity. I would say a significant improvement from what the CZ has been able to do with more expensive ammo.

As for the CZ trigger, I did not use any of the shims. Just swapped to the lightest spring. I didn't do anything to the Savage so regardless the CZ has already taken more work than the Savage did. Weight is just under 2lbs for both if I remember correctly.
I really want to like the CZ more. I'm a CZ fanboy as I own several CZ pistols but my admitted fanboism won't allow me to deny factual results.
I'm going to keep trying. I think there is something going on that my lack of knowledge and experience isn't allowing me to see. I may try to find someone with more experience to take a look at it. Or, perhaps I can find a way to improve the trigger a little as I really believe that's the issue. I'm not giving up on it yet!Then sell that inferior CZ, buy another Savage to replace it, and be done with it.
I have some SK Standard to try.
If it takes Lapua to get it to shoot, it can find a new home. The Savage will shoot .2-.3 at 50 yards all day with cheap CCI SV. I won't be buying $14 a box Lapua to get another gun to shoot the same, or less. I don't think any "off the shelf" rifle is capable of better in my hands.
Ordered it from Sportsman's Guide. I've read the Norma is virtually the same stuff. Cabelas has the Norma for $4/box.Did you get the SK std locally?

Clean the extractors and firing pin as well as the respective channels. Mine is doing the same thing and that's the fix that I've found to most frequently solve the issue. I have not tried it yet. Too busy trying to get a more expensive rifle to shoot...My b22 won't eject cci sv.... I emailed savage. It groups awesome with it but it's a single shot with it too! Lol only ammo that I have tried that it has problems with.

BUT, if it won't shoot at 50, it most certainly won't shoot at 200! I don't need anyone to tell me that.
