Recently purchased this Savage Canada MkII 22 LR Precision rifle after watching it in the rack for about 4 months. I had copied down the UPC code on the hang tag, and took photos of the rifle. I searched on the internet and could not find a similar gun using that UPC code. Lots of MkII 22 rifles, but not this exact gun. I sent the UPC code and photos to my gunsmith who was going to the SHOT show. He emailed back that Savage was a "no show" because of Covid. So didn't get any info directly from the manufacture on this model gun. I contacted 5 or 6 gun stores in my area and no one had heard of this model.
Well, I went ahead and bought it. When taking photos for my records I noticed the word "Boyds" on the recoil pad. I went to their website and the stock on this gun is their AT-One adjustable. The color is called "Zombie Hunter." Guess what Savage Canada did was install their precision 22 rifle barreled action in a modified Boyds AT-One stock that looks a little different than the model shown on the website. Doesn't mention any special model on the box label. Just lists the model as BVNXSP. My internet search didn't show any firearm with that model designation. Don't know if this was a special, limited production made for a distributor or retailer, or something that Savage Canada did. Heck, I didn't even know there was a Savage Canada until I saw it stamped on the barrel on the box label.
Just wondering what this is. A friend of mine looked at it and he would like to find one. Don't know where to send him as there was only 1 of these where I bought it. Came new in the box with a Weaver 3-9X40 rimfire scope already mounted on the gun with Weaver rings and base.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rod
