Description
The Savage B22 TimberLite 22 WMR Thumbhole 18″ 10rd is a purpose-built rimfire rifle that brings real precision to .22 Magnum. The 18-inch carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel keeps weight low without sacrificing stiffness, and the 20 MOA Picatinny rail gives you the elevation you need for long-range rimfire work. With the adjustable AccuTrigger and a fixed thumbhole stock, this rifle is ready to shoot tight groups right out of the box.

Key Features
- Carbon-Fiber-Wrapped Barrel — Why it matters: Lighter than a steel barrel of the same length, this 18-inch wrapped tube cuts weight without losing rigidity, so you can carry it all day on a varmint hunt and still hold sub-MOA groups at 100 yards.
- Adjustable AccuTrigger — Why it matters: You can dial the pull weight from 2.5 to 6 lbs without any creep, giving you a clean break that helps shrink groups in competition or field shooting.
- 20 MOA Picatinny Rail — Why it matters: That built-in slope lets you use more of your scope’s internal elevation adjustment, so you can dial out to 200+ yards on prairie dogs or steel without maxing out the turret.
- Fixed Thumbhole Stock with Spiderweb Finish — Why it matters: The thumbhole design locks your hand into a repeatable grip for consistent trigger pull, and the grey/black web finish hides dirt and scratches from hard use.
- Threaded Muzzle (1/2×28) — Why it matters: You can mount a suppressor or muzzle brake directly to tame the crack of .22 WMR, making follow-up shots faster and quieter in the field.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the rimfire competitor who wants to push .22 WMR past 150 yards, and for the hunter who needs a lightweight, suppressor-ready rig for small game and varmints. If you’re the kind of shooter who tracks wind drift at 200 yards and wants a factory rifle that can hang with custom builds, the B22 TimberLite is your platform.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Carbon-fiber barrel shaves almost a pound off compared to a standard steel barrel — you feel it on a long hike.
- Pro: AccuTrigger is genuinely adjustable without tools, and it breaks like a glass rod at the lightest setting.
- Con: The factory stock is a bit flexible in the forend — if you’re shooting off a bipod, you may want to bed the action or swap to a chassis for absolute consistency.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Savage B22 TimberLite?
The barrel has a 1:16″ twist rate, optimized for stabilizing 30- to 40-grain .22 WMR bullets at typical velocities.
Does the rifle come with scope rings?
No, the 20 MOA Picatinny rail is built in, but you’ll need to buy separate rings or a one-piece mount. I’d recommend a low-to-medium height set for a 30mm tube scope.
Can I use this rifle for NRL22 competition?
Yes, but you’ll need to add a bipod and possibly a cheek riser. The 20 MOA rail is a huge advantage for the long-range stages, and the threaded muzzle lets you run a brake.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
No, the thumbhole stock is fixed. If you need LOP adjustment, you’ll want to look at a chassis system like the MDT Oryx for the B22 action.
What is the magazine capacity?
The rifle ships with one 10-round rotary magazine. Extra magazines are available from Savage and aftermarket sources.
