Key Features
- AccuTrigger: User-adjustable trigger that lets you dial pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds—no gunsmith required. Why it matters: A crisp, predictable break improves accuracy, especially when shooting tight groups at 50 or 100 yards.
- Button-Rifled Barrel: 21-inch carbon steel barrel with button rifling for uniform grooves and minimal friction. Why it matters: Consistent bullet spin reduces flyers and keeps your shots landing where you aim, round after round.
- Raised Comb Stock: Fixed black synthetic stock with a higher comb line for an improved cheek weld. Why it matters: Aligns your eye naturally with mounted optics, reducing parallax and speeding up target acquisition.
- Drilled and Tapped Receiver: Receiver pre-drilled and tapped for scope bases. Why it matters: Mount optics without extra machining—just bolt on a rail or rings and you’re ready to zero.
- Detachable Rotary Magazine: 10-round rotary magazine feeds .22 LR smoothly and releases with a thumb button. Why it matters: Reliable feeding reduces jams, and the rotary design prevents rim-lock common with stacked magazines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the barrel twist rate on the Savage B22 F?
The 21-inch button-rifled barrel has a 1:16″ twist rate, which stabilizes standard and high-velocity .22 LR rounds effectively for accurate shooting out to 100 yards.
Does the Savage B22 F come with scope rings or bases?
No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, but rings and bases are sold separately. You’ll need to purchase a compatible rail or set of rings to mount optics.
Can the AccuTrigger be adjusted without a gunsmith?
Yes. The AccuTrigger includes a small adjustment screw accessible from the trigger guard. Turn it clockwise to increase pull weight or counterclockwise to decrease it—no special tools required.
What type of magazine does the B22 F use?
It uses a 10-round detachable rotary magazine specifically designed for Savage B-series rimfire rifles. The rotary feed prevents rim-lock and feeds reliably.
Is the stock on the Savage B22 F compatible with aftermarket accessories?
The stock is fixed and non-adjustable. While the action and barrel are standard, aftermarket stocks for the B22 platform are limited; most upgrades focus on trigger and optics.
According to Savage Arms specs, the B22 F achieves sub-1-inch groups at 50 yards with match-grade ammunition, making it a reliable trainer for centerfire shooters. One honest drawback: The blued barrel needs regular maintenance to resist corrosion in damp conditions—a stainless option would be welcome for wet-weather hunters.
