Key features and specifications

The SAVAGE ARMS RASCAL YELLOW is a bolt-action, single-shot platform chambered in .22 LR with a capacity of 1. It uses a carbon steel, satin blued barrel with target crown muzzle (barrel length listed at 16.125″) and a 1:16 twist optimized for standard .22 LR bullets. The rifle’s weight is only 2.71 lb and overall length is 30.625″, which keeps leverage and muzzle lift minimal for smaller shooters.

Safety-focused design

This rifle includes an adjustable AccuTrigger for crisp, user-friendly trigger control and a manual safety. A key safety feature is the ability to unload the Rascal without pulling its trigger—an important consideration when teaching proper loading and unloading procedures. The steel receiver and feed ramp add reliable feeding and durability in a simple, low-maintenance package.

Sights, optics, and customization

Factory-set adjustable peep sights make accurate dry-fire practice and close-range target work simple, while the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts when students are ready to transition to optics. The synthetic yellow stock provides high-visibility and easy maintenance; the platform is also available in multiple stock colors and wood or polymer options to suit personal preference.
