Savage Mark II GLY Youth .22 LR Left-Hand 19in 10rd

About this product

What is the Savage Mark II GLY Youth .22 LR Left-Hand 19in 10rd? It's a purpose-built left-handed bolt-action rimfire rifle scaled for youth shooters and built on Savage's proven Mark II action. At 5 pounds unloaded with a 19-inch sporter barrel, this rifle bridges the gap between training tool and legitimate small-game harvester with Savage's signature AccuTrigger system. The satin brown hardwood stock is cut 1.5 inches shorter than standard adult stocks, putting the 13.5-inch length of pull within reach of shooters as young as 8 years old.

What is the Savage Mark II GLY Youth used for?

This rifle serves as an introductory platform for left-handed youth shooters moving up from air rifles or .22 pistols. The 10-round detachable magazine and adjustable iron sights make it ideal for 3-gun rimfire matches and plinking sessions under 50 yards. After mounting a 3-9x scope using the pre-drilled receiver, it becomes capable of consistent 1-inch groups at 50 yards with standard velocity ammunition.

How does the Savage Mark II GLY Youth compare to the Stevens 334?

The Mark II GLY outperforms the Stevens 334 in trigger quality and left-handed ergonomics, but the Stevens chambered in .308 Win offers significantly more power for larger game. Savage's AccuTrigger provides a crisp 2.5-pound break compared to the Stevens' 5-pound factory trigger, making the Mark II superior for precision rimfire training. However, the Stevens 334's centerfire capability makes it the better choice for deer hunting beyond 100 yards.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs exactly 5 pounds empty and measures 37.5 inches overall with its 19-inch barrel. The youth stock has a 13.5-inch length of pull—2 inches shorter than adult models—and the sporter contour barrel maintains a 0.625-inch diameter at the muzzle. At 1.5 inches wide at the action, it balances perfectly when supported on shooting bags or a bipod.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle isn't for experienced right-handed shooters or anyone needing centerfire power for hunting medium game. The left-hand bolt throw will frustrate right-handed operators, and the .22 LR cartridge limits effective range to about 75 yards on squirrels and rabbits. Adult shooters will find the short stock uncomfortable without a limbsaver pad, adding another 1.5 inches to the length of pull.

What's in the box?

You get the rifle with pre-installed iron sights, one 10-round detachable magazine, and the factory manual with AccuTrigger adjustment instructions. Unlike some competitors, Savage includes both front and rear sight adjustment tools—a small but crucial detail that saves you $15-20 on aftermarket tools. The hard case has precisely cut foam that accommodates the 37.5-inch length without compression.

Is the Savage Mark II GLY Youth worth it at $263.99?

At this price point, it delivers exceptional value compared to converted right-hand rifles or custom left-hand builds costing over $400. The inclusion of drill-and-tap mounting points and adjustable sights makes it ready for optics or iron sight use immediately. For left-handed youth shooters, this is one of the few production rifles that doesn't require compromises in ergonomics or trigger quality.
