Design and field performance

The 21″ barrel delivers a longer sight radius and consistent velocity for .22 LR ammunition, which translates to improved group sizes at typical rimfire distances (25–100 yards). The hardwood stock provides a stable platform for prone or bench positions; its inherent stiffness supports consistent barrel harmonics and a natural point of aim. A 10-round capacity keeps the rifle compact while meeting common range and hunting regulations.

Why .22 LR works here

.22 LR is an economical, low-recoil cartridge ideal for building fundamentals: trigger control, sight picture, and follow-through. The cartridge’s wide availability lowers range costs and makes regular practice feasible — an advantage when training new shooters or refining precision techniques.

Savage Arms has a long history of producing accurate, reliable rifles at accessible prices. This package leverages that reputation by combining a familiar action with a serviceable hardwood stock and an out-of-the-box scope setup, giving shooters a consistent platform for drills, marksmanship training, or light field work.
