Description
The Savage B22 G Bolt-Action Rifle .22 LR 21 in. Walnut is a full-size rimfire built for hunters and shooters who demand reliability without the sticker shock. Chambered in .22 LR, this right-handed rifle pairs a matte black carbon-steel barrel with walnut-stained hardwood furniture that feels like it belongs in a deer camp, not a showroom. It ships with an AccuTrigger for crisp, user-adjustable pull weights, an adjustable tang safety, and a detachable rotary magazine. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics, and adjustable iron sights come standard so you can hit the ground running. Per Savage Arms specs, this is a no-nonsense sporter that punches above its weight class.

- Drilled and Tapped Receiver – Why it matters: Mount a scope in minutes using standard bases—no smith needed, and you keep your iron sights as backup.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Savage B22 G?
The barrel has a 1:16 twist rate, which stabilizes standard-velocity .22 LR rounds well for hunting and target shooting out to 100 yards.
Can I mount a scope without removing the iron sights?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Savage rimfire bases, and the iron sights are low-profile enough that most scopes with 1-inch tubes clear them. You can also remove the rear sight if needed.
Does the AccuTrigger require a tool to adjust?
No. A small hex key (included) is all you need. Turn the adjustment screw inside the trigger housing, then test with a snap cap. Per Savage, the pull range is 2.5 to 6 pounds.
Is this rifle legal for small-game hunting in all states?
.22 LR is legal for small game in all 50 states, but check local regs on magazine capacity—some states limit to 10 rounds. The included rotary mag holds 10 rounds.
How does the walnut stock hold up in rain?
Hardwood stocks are less resistant to moisture than synthetic. Wipe it dry after wet hunts and apply a light coat of linseed oil every season to prevent cracking. For constant wet weather, consider a synthetic-stocked model.
