Maybe these...

And with a small mod Savage mags fit Anschutz rimfires.
Made my first trip to the range this morning and had the following struggles:
1. My bench was facing east and the sun was rising(7:30am).
2. Windy conditions (15MPH with gust up to 20MPH).
3. The LOP is 14.25" and I need 12.5" so I was struggling with consistent eye relief (easy fix).
4. The trigger pull is 2.5lbs but felt gritty and heavier (hope it smoothes out with some use or a trigger job will be needed).
I did manage several groups under 3/4" using 36 grain copper plated white box Winchester bulk ammo at 50yds. With tuning and the right ammo, I believe this rifle may be a tack driver, but only time and use will tell.
Here is a 5 shot group (measured .513" outside to outside) :

Put an Apachee trigger kit in it, money well spent IMO. Your rifle should start shooting better after you run 5-700 rounds through it. At least mine did.
You'll like it.
After shooting a few hundred rounds, I customized her a bit:
Shortened the LOP to 12.5", Pillar and bedded the stock, added an Apachee Trigger kit (adjustable from 10oz-3lbs), and I mounted a SWFA SS 20x Scope. I also bought over 10 different types of ammo(match and CCI standard velocity) to try out.

I thought they were supposed to be unmodified "factory" rifles to qualify for the matches?
Try Norma Tac 22 or Norma match 22, $5.50 & 7.50 at Bullets.com
Rimfire Rifle rule definition:
Any factory rimfire 22 long rifle bolt action rifle is acceptable. Aftermarket triggers, stocks and barrels as well as any type of optics are acceptable. Rifles with aftermarket barrels are not acceptable. Custom benchrest rifles are not acceptable. A benchrest rifle is defined as a rifle with a custom action that is not normally sold by the manufacturer as a complete rifle. It is a single shot rifle with no provision for a magazine.
PS: This is my club's current rules which are subject to change (being challenged by members).
After trying various types of ammo from Match, standard and high velocities. Norma Match 22 performed the worst with groups of 1.34" -1.50". CCI standard velocity and Tac-22 performed the best. Both (if I do my part) are capable of consistant (repeatable) tack driving accuracy. Down below are the average 10 shots groups:

I'm doing a thread in this same rimfire forum about accurate match style .22. I got quite a bit of ammo to test, just got home today and I can say with out a doubt my MKII FVSR is capable of very sub MOA groups at 100 yards with Norma match 22 and CCI standard velocity. Remember with .22 rimfires the sub sonic rounds are supposed to be more stable because the energy wave of the bullet breaking the speed of sound isn't throwing it off. This savage took me by surprise and its my second one. I also bought some 25 dollar a box Eley match, shot a few mags of that and it really isn't that much better than 4.99 a box CCI standard velocity at 100 yards anyways. i'm sure at 25 or 50 they could make one really ragged hole.
