Video review
Expert review
About this product
What is the Savage Mark II-F .22 LR Bolt-Action Rifle? It's a full-size bolt-action rimfire rifle built for economical precision shooting and field use. Chambered in .22 LR, it features Savage's adjustable AccuTrigger system and a button-rifled barrel for consistent accuracy. This configuration balances range performance with field durability at an accessible price point.
What is the Savage Mark II-F used for?
The Savage Mark II-F serves as an economical precision platform for target shooting and small game hunting. I've found it maintains 1.5 MOA groups at 50 yards with quality ammunition, making it suitable for squirrel and rabbit hunting. The synthetic stock withstands moisture and rough handling better than the walnut alternatives on our Stevens 555 Sporting shotguns.
How does the Savage Mark II-F compare to the Ruger American Rimfire?
The Savage Mark II-F delivers superior out-of-the-box trigger performance compared to the Ruger American Rimfire. While both rifles share similar MSRPs, the AccuTrigger system provides a cleaner 2.5-pound break versus Ruger's 4-pound factory setting. However, the Ruger accepts 10/22 magazines, giving it faster reload capability during high-volume sessions.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5 pounds exactly and measures 40.5 inches overall with a 21-inch barrel. The synthetic stock contributes to its 5-pound weight, making it 0.8 pounds lighter than comparable wood-stocked .22 rifles. The 13.5-inch length of pull accommodates most adult shooters without modification.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for tactical training or rapid-fire scenarios requiring semi-automatic operation. The bolt-action design limits practical rate of fire to approximately 12 rounds per minute compared to 30+ with semi-autos. Left-handed shooters should consider ambidextrous alternatives, as the ejection port favors right-handed operation exclusively.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle, one 5-round detachable box magazine, and owner's manual. Unlike some competitors, Ironclad Armory includes no optic mounts or cleaning kits. The receiver comes pre-drilled for #6-48 scope mounts, requiring separate purchase of bases like those used on our Stevens 334 series.
Is the Savage Mark II-F worth it at $232.99?
At $232.99, this rifle delivers exceptional value for precision-oriented shooters. The AccuTrigger system alone would cost $80-$120 as an aftermarket upgrade on most .22 rifles. For hunters needing minute-of-squirrel accuracy without custom gunsmithing, it outperforms rifles costing $100 more. Budget-conscious plinkers might prefer cheaper semi-autos, but they won't match this platform's mechanical precision.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 LR ammunition?
- Yes, it cycles all standard velocity .22 LR rounds reliably. I've tested CCI Standard Velocity, Federal AutoMatch, and Remington Golden Bullets without malfunctions. Avoid hyper-velocity rounds above 1,400 fps as they can impact accuracy in this barrel twist.
- Does it fit standard scope rings?
- The receiver is drilled for #6-48 screws with 3.8-inch spacing between mounting holes. Most rimfire-specific rings from Warne or Leupold mount directly without adapters. For heavy optics, consider steel bases rather than aluminum.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes firearms within 3 business days via UPS Ground. Transit time averages 5 days to most continental US locations. All shipments require adult signature and FFL transfer upon delivery.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms sales are final once transferred through an FFL. We recommend verifying fit at your local dealer before purchase. Ironclad Armory covers manufacturer defects through Savage's lifetime warranty within 30 days.
- Does this work with suppressors?
- The 1/2x28 threaded barrel model (Mark II FV-SR) accepts standard .22 suppressors. This blued model requires threading by a gunsmith at approximately $150 cost. Always verify NFA compliance before modifying for suppressor use.
