#MarkII

Savage Arms has introduced new iterations of some of their popular bolt action rimfire rifles combined under new series called Minimalist. What these rifles have in common is the new laminate wood stock. The Minimalist series currently includes the Mark II, Model 93 and Model 93R17 bolt action rimfire rifles. Each of these rifles is available in two stock color options – brown and green.

Welcome everyone to the 33rd edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only have Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

Never one to bemoan an increasing amount of options in 22LR, I am pleased to see Savage releasing the Landry Signature Series Rifles. Modeled with input from Troy, Jacob, and Chase Landry (from Swamp People), the Landry series rifles feature a synthetic stock with a transferred gator camouflage pattern.

Like the new BRJ, the BSEV was originally a .17 HMR rifle and is now also chambered in .22 Long Rifle, as the Mark II BSEV, and .22 Magnum as the Model 93 BSEV.
