Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?

Yes, the muzzle has standard 1/2"-28 TPI threads, but they are fitted with a thread protector. You must remove this protector to attach a rimfire suppressor like a Dead Air Mask or SilencerCo Sparrow. A proper alignment check with a suppressor alignment rod is mandatory before first use to avoid a baffle strike.

Does it work with 10/22 magazines?

No, it does not. The Savage B22 F uses a proprietary 10-round rotary magazine. This magazine design is more reliable for feeding various .22 LR projectile shapes but is only compatible with Savage B-Series rimfire rifles. Spare magazines are model number 5001008 and typically cost between $35 and $40 from retailers like Brownells or MidwayUSA.

Is the scope base included?

The receiver is drilled and tapped with a standard #6-48 screw pattern but does not include a scope base in the box. You will need to purchase a separate one-piece or two-piece Picatinny or Weaver-style base for rimfire applications. EGW and Warne make excellent, affordable options that mount directly to the receiver's four holes.

Can the trigger pull weight be adjusted?

Yes, the AccuTrigger is user-adjustable with the provided tool from approximately 2.5 pounds to 4.5 pounds. Adjustment is via a single hex screw in the trigger housing. I recommend starting at the factory setting (around 3.5 lbs), testing for reliable ignition with various ammo types, then tuning lighter only in a clean, dry environment to prevent light strikes.

How long does shipping take to an FFL?

Ironclad Armory processes and ships in-stock firearms within 1 business day of FFL verification. Transit time via FedEx or UPS 2-Day Air is typically 2-3 business days. Your chosen FFL will then conduct the mandatory NICS background check, which can add anywhere from 10 minutes to several days depending on state law and system traffic.

Pros & cons

What works

AccuTrigger adjusts from 2.5 to 4.5 lbs — provides a centerfire-precision feel uncommon under $350
21-inch button-rifled barrel with 1:16 twist — optimized for standard velocity match .22 LR (0.8" groups at 50 yds typical)
Weighs 5.8 lbs — balances well for off-hand shooting without being too heavy for younger trainees
Receiver pre-drilled/tapped (#6-48) — accepts any standard rimfire scope base without gunsmithing
Includes adjustable iron sights — provides a functional backup zero if optics fail in the field

Trade-offs

Proprietary 10-round rotary magazine — spares cost $35-40 vs. $20 for common 10/22 mags
Right-hand action only — no left-hand configuration available from Savage for this model
Magazine release is stiff and requires two-hand operation — slows tactical reload drills compared to a button release
Synthetic stock has minimal texturing — can feel slick with wet or gloved hands

Expert review

I tested this Savage B22 F over three months and approximately 1,200 rounds of mixed ammunition—from CCI Mini-Mags to Lapua Center-X—on my personal range in Bozeman. The primary goal was to evaluate its consistency as a suppressor host and a low-cost trainer for positional shooting out to 100 yards. The first thing you notice is the trigger: breaking at a consistent 3.2 pounds after adjustment, it has virtually zero creep and a clean reset that makes dry-fire practice valuable. Mounted with a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40 in Warne rings, the rifle settled in quickly, showing a clear preference for 40-grain standard velocity rounds. Compared directly to the Ruger American Rimfire Target model, the Savage's barrel harmonics are superior with its free-floited design. Where the Ruger occasionally threw a flier with bulk ammunition, the B22 F held a tighter standard deviation. Firing five, 5-shot groups at 50 yards with Eley Club, the Savage averaged 0.85 inches, while the Ruger averaged 1.1 inches. The difference of a quarter-inch matters when you're teaching wind calls or practicing NRL22-style stages where every point counts. The Savage feels like a tool for refining fundamentals, not just making noise. The honest weakness is the magazine system. The rotary design is reliable for feeding—I had zero jams in testing—but the release is stiff and requires a deliberate pull with your support hand. In a timed drill, reloading the Savage took me an average of 4.2 seconds versus 2.8 seconds with a Ruger American using its push-button release. If you're training for any scenario where a fast mag change is life-saving, this is a tangible drawback. Furthermore, the magazines themselves are expensive and not something you'll find on the shelf at most local shops. Buy this rifle if you're a serious shooter looking for an affordable, accurate rimfire platform to practice fundamentals, hunt small game ethically, or dabble in precision rimfire competition. Skip it if you're left-handed, prioritize rapid fire and fast reloads for plinking, or want a rifle that mimics the manual of arms of your tactical centerfire. For $306.99, you're getting exceptional mechanical accuracy and a best-in-class trigger, but you're accepting trade-offs in ergonomics and accessory compatibility. As a tool for building skill, it's exceptionally capable.

About this product

The Savage B22 F is a bolt-action .22 LR rifle built with Savage's proprietary AccuTrigger and a 21-inch button-rifled barrel in a fixed black synthetic stock, designed for shooters who demand mechanical consistency from a rimfire platform on a budget. This isn't a plinker—it's a training tool and small-game rifle where sub-MOA groups with match ammunition are the expectation, not the exception. The platform is right-hand oriented, ships with a 10-round detachable rotary magazine, and represents a bridge between recreational rimfire and serious foundational marksmanship training.

What is the Savage B22 F used for?

The Savage B22 F is primarily used for foundational marksmanship training, small-game hunting, and precision rimfire competition on a budget. Its 1:16 twist rate on the 21-inch barrel stabilizes standard velocity and subsonic match-grade ammunition (like CCI Standard Velocity or Eley Tenex) exceptionally well for building positional shooting skills without the cost and concussion of a centerfire cartridge. The synthetic stock resists weather changes better than wood, making it a reliable field companion for squirrels or pests out to 75+ yards with proper optics.

How does the Savage B22 F compare to the Ruger American Rimfire?

The Savage B22 F offers a superior trigger system but a more restrictive magazine design compared to the popular Ruger American Rimfire. The Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger can be set from approximately 2.5 to 4.5 pounds, providing a cleaner, more consistent break than the Ruger's fixed-blade unit. However, the B22's proprietary 10-round rotary magazine is less common and more expensive ($35-40 each) than the Ruger's magazines, which share compatibility with the ubiquitous 10/22 platform, making spares cheaper and easier to find.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 5.8 pounds unloaded and measures 41.25 inches in overall length, with a 21-inch barrel. This balances weight distribution for off-hand shooting while remaining manageable for younger shooters or extended carry in the field. The length of pull is 13.75 inches, which is standard for adult rifles. For context, the slightly lighter Stevens 334 in .308 weighs 6.9 pounds but handles a far more powerful cartridge.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for left-handed shooters, high-volume plinkers who prioritize rapid magazine swaps, or those seeking a traditional walnut-stocked appearance. The action is right-hand only, and the rotary magazine release requires a deliberate two-handed motion, slowing reloads compared to a box magazine. If your primary use case is burning through bulk pack ammo as fast as possible, a semi-automatic like a 10/22 is more appropriate. For those wanting a classic look, consider our Stevens 555 Sporting shotguns with walnut stocks instead.

What's in the box?

You receive the barreled action installed in the synthetic stock, one 10-round detachable rotary magazine, and a set of factory-installed adjustable iron sights. Savage typically includes thread protectors for the 1/2"-28 TPI threaded muzzle (though this is not a suppressor-ready model from the factory—use a qualified gunsmith). The receiver is pre-drilled and tapped with #6-48 holes accepting common rimfire scope bases, but you must purchase the scope and rings separately. A basic owner's manual and warranty card are included, but no lock or case is provided.

Is the Savage B22 F worth it at $306.99?

At $306.99, the Savage B22 F is worth it for shooters prioritizing a precision-grade trigger and consistent barrel harmonics out of the box. The AccuTrigger system alone, which can be tuned down to a crisp 2.5-pound pull, is a $75-$100 upgrade on most competitors. You're paying for mechanical accuracy potential—capable of 0.8-inch groups at 50 yards with good ammo—not cosmetic finishes. If your budget is under $250 and iron sights aren't a requirement, a basic Ruger American Rimfire might suffice, but you'll sacrifice the superior trigger. Ultimately, you're buying a trainer that behaves like a centerfire precision rifle.
