Savage A22 Takedown .22 LR 18in FDE 10+1

Description

The Savage A22 Takedown .22 LR 18in FDE 10+1 is a rimfire rifle that comes apart in seconds for easy packing, yet shoots like a full-size rig. It’s chambered in .22 LR, has an 18-inch barrel, and ships with a 10-round rotary magazine. The Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish helps it blend in on the trail or at the range. This is a practical, no-nonsense takedown for anyone who wants a reliable .22 that stows small and shoots straight.

Key Features

• AccuTrigger — This adjustable trigger lets you dial in pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds. Why it matters: you get a crisp, consistent break without a gunsmith visit, which means tighter groups at the range and more confidence when teaching new shooters.
• Tool-free takedown — Push a button, twist the barrel, and the rifle splits into two pieces under 20 inches long. Why it matters: it fits in a backpack or small case, making it easy to toss in the truck for a quick afternoon plinking session.
• Integrated storage — The stock holds two spare magazines in the forend and has a dry compartment in the pistol grip. Why it matters: you can carry extra ammo and gear without a separate pouch, so you’re ready for longer days in the field.
• Threaded barrel — The 18-inch barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 TPI. Why it matters: you can attach a suppressor or muzzle brake to cut down noise or recoil, making it a great choice for quiet pest control or training.
• Rotary magazine — The 10-round rotary mag feeds reliably and sits flush with the stock. Why it matters: no snagging on brush or gear, and the rotary design reduces jams common with stick mags.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for three kinds of shooters: the backpacker who wants a lightweight .22 they can stow in a day pack, the new gun owner looking for an easy-to-use training rifle, and the backyard plinker who wants a semi-auto that won’t break the bank. If you’re teaching a family member to shoot, the AccuTrigger and low recoil make it a safe, confidence-building step up from a bolt-action.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Fast takedown without tools, adjustable trigger, integrated mag storage, threaded barrel for suppressors, reliable rotary magazine, lightweight at 5.2 lbs.
• Cons: The synthetic stock feels a bit light-duty compared to wood or aluminum chassis rifles. Also, the takedown latch can loosen over time if you don’t check it before each outing — give it a quick snug now and then.

FAQ

Does the Savage A22 Takedown come with a scope or sights?

It does not include a scope or iron sights. The receiver is grooved for tip-off scope mounts, so you can add your own optic or a red dot easily.

Can I use high-velocity .22 LR ammo in this rifle?

Yes, it handles standard and high-velocity .22 LR loads without issues. Stick with quality ammunition for best reliability.

How do I clean the barrel after takedown?

Because the barrel separates from the action, cleaning is straightforward. Run a rod from the breech end (the chamber side) or use a pull-through. Wipe down the locking surfaces before reassembly.

Is the Savage A22 Takedown legal in all 50 states?

Yes, .22 LR rifles are generally unrestricted. However, check your local laws regarding threaded barrels if you plan to add a suppressor — that may require a tax stamp and approval.
