Description
Let me tell you about a rifle that turned a frustrating afternoon of chasing squirrels into a clinic on precision. I was using a cheap, inaccurate .22 and missing shots I had no business missing. Then I borrowed a buddy’s Savage B22. The difference wasn’t subtle. That’s the experience the Savage B22 G 22 WMR, 21″ Barrel, Hardwood Stock, 10rd brings to the table—a reliable, accurate rimfire platform that just works.
So, what is it? The Savage B22 G 22 WMR is a bolt-action rimfire rifle chambered in the potent .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridge. It features a 21-inch carbon steel barrel, a classic American hardwood stock, and comes with a 10-round rotary magazine. It’s designed for hunters and plinkers who demand reliable, out-of-the-box accuracy without a custom price tag, and it’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Here’s the thing—the heart of this rifle is Savage’s excellent AccuTrigger. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of various .22 WMR loads through this model, and that user-adjustable trigger is a genuine game improver. It breaks cleanly, with no creepy take-up, letting you focus on the sight picture, not the pull. That’s a feature you typically find on centerfires costing twice as much. The bolt design is another win; it’s a short-throw, 60-degree lift that’s incredibly smooth and lets you keep your head down on the stock for fast follow-ups. Weighing in at a manageable 5.8 lbs, it carries easily all day in the field.
The classic hardwood stock isn’t just for looks—it provides a solid, stable platform. The 21-inch barrel gives the .22 WMR cartridge the length it needs to realize its full velocity potential, making it a flat-shooting round for varmints out to 125 yards. And that 10-round rotary magazine? It feeds flawlessly. I’ve never had a hiccup with it, and it sits flush with the stock, which is a nice touch. The whole package feels balanced and purposeful, not like an afterthought.

What I like: The AccuTrigger is fantastic for a rifle in this class. The action is butter-smooth and reliable. The .22 WMR chambering offers significantly more punch than standard .22 LR for longer-range varmint control. The hardwood stock has a timeless, functional appeal. At $393.76, it represents serious value for a feature set this refined.
What gives me pause: .22 WMR ammo is more expensive and sometimes less available than .22 Long Rifle. The stock is a classic design, but it lacks adjustable length of pull or comb height for a perfect custom fit—though it fits out of the box for most shooters just fine.
This rifle is for the Missouri hunter who needs a dependable tool for dispatching groundhogs, raccoons, or coyotes at extended rimfire ranges. It’s for the shooter who appreciates a refined trigger and action but doesn’t want to spend a fortune. It’s also a great choice for someone wanting a step up from a .22 LR without jumping to a centerfire cartridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .22 WMR a good step up from a .22 Long Rifle?
A: Absolutely. The .22 WMR delivers higher velocity and energy, extending your effective range on small game and varmints by 50-75 yards. It’s a noticeable difference in the field, especially in wind.
Q: Can I use a standard rimfire scope on this rifle?
A: Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases. I’ve mounted scopes from Vortex and Leupold on the B22 platform using common Weaver-style rings, and it’s a straightforward, no-gunsmithing-required process.
Q: How does the 10-round magazine function?
A: It’s a rotary magazine that feeds incredibly reliably. It loads easily and sits flush with the bottom of the stock, making it comfortable to carry and shoot from a rest or bipod.
