Description
Picture this: you’re at the range, plinking away, and the guy next to you is constantly fiddling with his finicky semi-auto .22, clearing jams and muttering. You just keep sending rounds downrange with a satisfying *thwack* into the target. That’s the kind of hassle-free, budget-friendly reliability the Savage A22 FV-SR promises. It’s a workhorse, not a show pony, built for volume shooting without emptying your wallet.
The Savage A22 FV-SR .22 LR, 16.5″ Barrel, Synthetic Black Stock, Black Carbon, 10rd is a compact, suppressor-ready bolt-action rifle designed for precision rimfire shooting and small game hunting. It features a threaded barrel, a durable synthetic stock, and a reliable 10-round rotary magazine, all at an accessible price point for the practical shooter.
Let’s break down what makes this rifle a standout value. The heart of the A22 FV-SR is its action. Savage built this rimfire to mimic the feel and function of a centerfire, with a smooth bolt throw and a crisp, user-adjustable AccuTrigger. You get a clean break without the creepy, heavy pull common on budget .22s—a feature that directly translates to better accuracy for less money. The 16.5-inch barrel is cold hammer-forged and comes threaded 1/2″-28, ready for a muzzle device or, more likely, a suppressor. That’s a huge value-add right out of the gate, as threading usually adds cost. This rifle is drop-in ready for your favorite .22 can, turning it into a backyard-friendly pest control tool or an ultra-quiet training rifle.
The stock is a no-frills, synthetic black affair. It’s lightweight and tough, perfect for dragging through the woods or leaning against a bench. The barrel is free-floated, which helps consistency, and the overall design is simple and utilitarian. Weighing in at approximately 5.5 pounds, it’s easy to carry all day. It feeds from a reliable 10-round rotary magazine, similar in design to those from the Ruger 10/22 but specific to the Savage A22 platform. That said, spare magazines are affordable and easy to find, which is a practical consideration for any serious plinker.

So, what’s the trade-off? The pros are clear: you get a accurate, suppressor-ready platform with a great trigger for under $300. The cons are mostly about the finish. The stock is basic, the bolt handle is polymer, and the overall feel is utilitarian—not a lot of polish, but plenty of function. For $296.94, you’re paying for performance where it counts: the barrel and the trigger. You aren’t paying for fancy checkering or a glossy stock.
This rifle is for the shooter who values performance per dollar above all else. It’s for the Missouri hunter who needs a quiet, accurate squirrel rifle. It’s for the new shooter looking for a quality first firearm that won’t frustrate them with a terrible trigger. It’s for the seasoned gun owner who wants a dedicated host for their .22 suppressor without spending a fortune. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel truly threaded for a suppressor?
A: Yes. The barrel comes from the factory with 1/2″-28 threads, the standard for .22 LR muzzle devices and suppressors. No additional gunsmithing is needed to attach one.
Q: What optics will fit this rifle?
A: The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard rimfire scope base. It uses common Savage 11/111 scope mounting patterns, so bases and rings from brands like Weaver, Leupold, or Warne are widely compatible. A compact 3-9x or a fixed 4x scope is a perfect match.
Q: How does it compare to a Ruger 10/22?
A: The Ruger is a legendary semi-auto, while the Savage A22 FV-SR is a bolt-action. The bolt-action often offers slightly better inherent accuracy and is typically quieter, especially suppressed. The choice comes down to your preference for action type. The Savage’s included threaded barrel and AccuTrigger give it a strong value edge for precision/quiet work.
