Key Features
- Suppressor-Ready 16.5″ Barrel: Threaded 1/2″-28 at the muzzle, this compact barrel is built for use with a rimfire suppressor or compensator, keeping your sessions quiet and reducing muzzle rise.
- Synthetic Overwatch Stock: Features an integrated bedding block for enhanced barrel-to-action alignment, improving consistency. The textured grip and forend provide a secure hold in all conditions.
- AccuTrigger System: User-adjustable trigger pull allows you to fine-tune the break from 2.5 to 6 pounds. It’s a clean, crisp trigger right out of the box, no gunsmithing required.
- Rotary Magazine: The included 10-round rotary magazine feeds reliably with minimal rim-lock issues common in .22 LR. It sits flush for a clean profile and smooth cycling.
- Top-Loading & Ejection: The receiver is machined for easy, direct top-loading of single rounds and features a side ejection port that keeps spent brass predictable.

Who This Rifle Is For
This is a practical tool for the shooter who values efficiency over flash. When it comes to dispatching pests on the farm or running a silent training drill in the woods, the B22 FV-SR delivers. It’s for the hunter who needs a compact, quiet walkabout rifle for squirrels and rabbits. It’s also an ideal first bolt-action or a dedicated trainer for developing marksmanship fundamentals without the cost and concussion of centerfire ammo. At $291.77, it sits in a sweet spot of value and capability.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The short, threaded barrel is the star, making it a natural host for popular rimfire suppressors like the SilencerCo Sparrow or Dead Air Mask. The AccuTrigger provides a quality feel uncommon in this price range. The Overwatch stock’s bedding system aids accuracy, and the overall package is lightweight and easy to handle in tight spaces like a ground blind or thick brush.
Cons: The synthetic stock, while durable, is utilitarian. The magazine, though reliable, is a proprietary Savage design, so spares are an additional purchase. The compact 16.5-inch barrel does sacrifice some muzzle velocity compared to longer .22 LR barrels, but for its intended roles—especially suppressed use—this is a minor trade-off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel already 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. It’s ready for a thread protector or your preferred rimfire can.
Q: What optics will fit this rifle?
A: The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard rimfire scope base, which uses a common 3/8″ dovetail or #6-48 screws. Most .22-specific scopes from brands like Vortex (Crossfire II Rimfire) or Leupold (VX-Freedom Rimfire) will mount directly or with inexpensive bases.
Q: Can you load single rounds without the magazine?
A: You can. The action allows for single-round loading directly into the chamber through the ejection port, which is useful for slow-fire precision or when you want to use different ammunition types without unloading a magazine.
Here’s the thing—this rifle removes excuses. It’s an accurate, quiet, and reliable platform that handles the jobs you actually do with a .22.
