Description
You’re in the field, the wind is a whisper, and a small target presents itself at 50 yards. You need a rifle that’s an extension of your intent—a tool that bridges the gap between practice and precision without breaking the bank. That’s where the Savage B22 F Bolt 22 LR (LR) 21″ Barrel, Synthetic Black Stock Black, 10rd comes in. It’s a purpose-built .22 LR bolt-action rifle designed for reliable, accurate rimfire shooting. With a 21-inch barrel and a 10-round rotary magazine, it offers a solid platform for everything from small game hunting to honing your fundamentals. At $245.24, it delivers Savage’s renowned accuracy in a no-fuss, durable package that’s ready for the woods, the range, or the farm.
Look, when it comes to a .22, you want a rifle that just works. The Savage B22 F is built around a smooth, short-throw 60-degree bolt action. This isn’t a clunky throwback; it’s a fast, low-lift design that lets you work the action without losing your sight picture or your grip. The synthetic stock is tough, weather-resistant, and free of frills—it’s a tool, not a showpiece. The 21-inch barrel provides a great balance of velocity and maneuverability, making it easy to handle in a blind or while walking a fence line. Weighing in at approximately 5.5 lbs, it’s light enough for all-day carry without feeling toy-like. The real star is the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. This isn’t just marketing; you can actually set the pull weight to your preference, giving you a crisp, clean break that directly translates to tighter groups on paper or in the field.
Key Features
The heart of this system is the reliable 10-round rotary magazine. It feeds smoothly, sits flush, and is easy to load. Unlike some single-stack magazines, this design is famously reliable with all types of .22 LR ammunition, from standard velocity to high-velocity rounds. It’s a feature borrowed from Savage’s proven rimfire lineage and it just works, shot after shot. The rifle is also drilled and tapped for scope mounts, a critical detail for serious shooters. This means mounting a scope from brands like Vortex, Leupold, or Bushnell is a straightforward process—no gunsmithing required. You buy your rings, you follow the instructions, and you’re zeroed in. The synthetic stock features a raised comb for a natural cheek weld when using optics, completing a system built for actual use, not just bench rest admiration.
That said, the value proposition is clear. For under $250, you get a rifle with an adjustable target-grade trigger, a dependable feeding system, and a robust construction. The matte black finish on metal and stock resists glare and scratches. The bolt release is conveniently located, and the safety is a simple, positive sliding tang design you can operate by feel. It’s a rifle that respects the shooter’s time and intention, providing a platform where skill is the limiting factor, not the equipment. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, ready for a quick and compliant FFL transfer.
