Description
The Savage B22 Magnum F .22 WMR, 21″ Barrel, Synthetic Black Stock, Blued, Left-Handed, 10rd is a purpose-built, left-handed bolt-action rifle chambered in the potent .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridge. It’s a dedicated platform for southpaw shooters who want a reliable, accurate rimfire rifle for varmint control and small game hunting without breaking the bank. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of various .22 WMR loads through this model, and it’s a solid performer that fits out of the box with no gunsmithing required.

Here’s the thing—lefties have been adapting to right-handed rifles for decades, but a dedicated platform like this changes the game. The bolt throw is natural, the spent brass ejects away from your line of sight, and the safety is right under your thumb. The synthetic stock is stiff and handles the .22 WMR’s snappier recoil impulse well. At a price point of $278.32, it represents a significant value in the niche left-handed rimfire market. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who This Rifle Is For
This rifle is built for the left-handed shooter who needs a serious tool. Think Missouri coyote hunters working the edges of a field at dawn, or a landowner managing a woodchuck population. It’s for the shooter who values a dedicated ergonomic layout over a compromise. It’s also an excellent choice for a young or new left-handed shooter stepping up from a .22 LR, offering more reach and power while maintaining a familiar, user-friendly platform. The 10-round capacity is a practical feature for extended sessions at the range or when multiple targets present themselves.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The true left-handed configuration is the star. The AccuTrigger is consistently excellent—clean and predictable. The 21-inch barrel is a sweet spot for .22 WMR ballistics. The rotary magazine is famously reliable and doesn’t snag. The overall package is lightweight and points naturally. It’s a simple, effective rifle that does its job without fuss.
Cons: The synthetic stock is functional but basic; it lacks the refinement of a Boyd’s or Magpul aftermarket option. The blued finish, while classic, requires more maintenance than a modern nitride or cerakote to prevent rust in humid Missouri weather. Some shooters might prefer a shorter barrel for tighter quarters, but you’d sacrifice some velocity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .22 WMR round significantly better than a .22 Long Rifle?
A: For hunting, yes. The .22 WMR delivers higher velocity and energy, extending your ethical range on varmints like raccoons, foxes, and coyotes. It’s flatter-shooting and hits harder. For plinking, the .22 LR is still the king of cheap fun.
Q: Can I use a standard .22 LR scope on this .22 WMR?
A: Absolutely. Any quality rimfire or standard scope rated for the recoil of a centerfire rifle will work perfectly. I’ve mounted everything from a Vortex Crossfire II to a Nikon Prostaff on these actions with great results. Just use proper rings and a base.
Q: How does the AccuTrigger work?
A: It’s a unique, user-adjustable system. A blade sits in the center of the trigger shoe; you must fully depress this blade before the trigger itself will move rearward to fire. This creates a very safe mechanism that still allows for a light, crisp pull weight that you can adjust yourself with a simple tool.
If you’re a left-handed shooter tired of adapting, this Savage B22 Magnum F provides a straightforward, capable solution. Check its availability for your next varmint or small game season.
