For tactical shooters seeking a precision .22 platform that balances modern ergonomics with reliable function, the right rifle should feel familiar to centerfire shooters while delivering lightweight handling for training and varmint work. Whether you’re building trigger discipline or dialing in optics for rimfire applications, a thoughtfully engineered rimfire rifle can be a force multiplier at the range.

SAVAGE A22 blends contemporary design with proven Savage features to deliver that balance. It pairs a straight‑blowback semiautomatic action with Savage’s thread‑in headspace system used on their centerfire rifles, giving shooters consistent headspace control and parts compatibility philosophies carried over from larger calibers. The rifle uses a lightweight aluminum receiver and an adjustable AccuTrigger for an exceptionally crisp and user‑tunable trigger pull. This Pro Varmint model features a carbon steel barrel, a wood stock with a black finish, and a detachable rotary magazine.
