The modern rimfire landscape demands rifles that blend light weight, dependable semi-automatic operation, and practical accuracy for field work and range use. Whether you’re dialing in a compact brush gun, training for follow-up shots, or pursuing small- to medium-sized game, a platform that balances engineering with ergonomics makes the difference between a workable tool and a drawer queen.

Design and action: how the A22 Magnum stands apart
The SAVAGE ARMS A22 MAGNUM uses a delayed-blowback action tuned for rimfire power, providing reliable cycling across a variety of 22 WMR ammunition types. Savage applied the same thread-in headspace system found on their centerfire rifles, a feature that enhances consistent chamber alignment and helps sustain accuracy over thousands of rounds. If you’re familiar with Savage’s approach to controlled headspace on centerfires, you’ll recognize the value this brings to a rimfire platform.
Key build features
The rifle combines a lightweight aluminum receiver with a hard-chromed bolt that includes an oversized handle for positive manipulation under stress or cold-weather use. The barrel is carbon steel finished in matte black and is paired with an ergonomic synthetic stock that includes a recoil pad to reduce shooter fatigue on follow-up shots. Adjustable sights and an adjustable AccuTrigger let you set a crisp, predictable pull that complements the rifle’s semi-auto follow-ups.
Caliber and practical performance: 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR)
The A22 Magnum is chambered to accept 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR). Compared with .22 LR, 22 WMR offers increased velocity and terminal energy, translating to a flatter trajectory out to practical hunting distances and more effective brush penetration on small- to medium-game. That extra performance makes the platform a suitable choice for varmint control, predator work, and scenarios where the extra kinetic energy helps ensure ethical shot placement.
Applications in the field
From ranch work and pest mitigation to training new shooters on semi-automatic fundamentals, the A22 Magnum fills a versatile niche. Its semi-automatic delayed-blowback action provides smooth cycling for rapid follow-up shots, while the rifle’s overall low recoil preserves sight picture and target acquisition speed. Hunters will appreciate the balance of light weight and the power of 22 WMR for close to mid-range engagements.
Ergonomics and handling for practical use
SAVAGE ARMS A22 MAGNUM’s ergonomic synthetic stock is shaped for a neutral cheek weld and natural pointing. The recoil pad softens impulse while maintaining a compact footprint for tight quarters. The oversized bolt handle improves racking leverage during suppressed use or when operating gloved, and the detachable rotary magazine simplifies loading in the field and reduces bulk compared to larger box magazines.
Trigger and sighting
The rifle ships with the adjustable AccuTrigger, allowing shooters to dial in trigger feel to personal preference without compromising safety. Matched with adjustable iron sights, you have a usable sighting system at the ready; the receiver also accepts optics for those who prefer red dots or low-power variable optics for faster target acquisition.
Maintenance, reliability, and accessory potential
The combination of a hard-chromed bolt and aluminum receiver reduces wear and helps with corrosion resistance. Regular cleaning of the carbon steel barrel and periodic inspection of the headspace threads will preserve accuracy. The detachable rotary magazine is straightforward to maintain and swap in the field. The platform’s receiver geometry and lightweight design make it friendly to common accessory setups, from sling attachments to optic mounts.
