Savage Mark II BV 22 LR 21″ Heavy Barrel Bolt Rifle

Description

The Savage Mark II BV 22 LR 21″ Heavy Barrel Bolt Rifle is a full-size, right-hand bolt-action .22 LR built for shooters who demand repeatable accuracy from a factory rimfire. It pairs a 21-inch heavy button-rifled barrel with Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger, giving you a crisp, creep-free break that lets you call every shot. The satin brown laminate fixed stock with swivel studs keeps the rig stable on bags or a bipod, and the detachable 5-round box magazine feeds smoothly. Receiver is drilled and tapped with scope bases included—mount your glass and go shoot.

Key Features

• 21″ Heavy Button-Rifled Barrel — The extra mass and button rifling deliver consistent velocity and tighter groups round after round, critical for precision rimfire work.
• User-Adjustable AccuTrigger — Dial in pull weight from 2.5 to 6 lbs without tools. A clean, predictable break means you can hold the center of the target, not fight the trigger.
• Satin Brown Laminate Fixed Stock — Laminated wood resists warping from moisture and temperature changes, keeping your zero stable. Swivel studs let you mount a bipod or sling instantly.
• Detachable 5-Round Box Magazine — Reloads are fast and positive. The steel magazine locks in tight with no wobble, feeding .22 LR rounds reliably.
• Drilled and Tapped Receiver with Scope Bases — Mount any standard 1-inch or 30mm tube scope without gunsmithing. Bases included save you time and money.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for competition shooters and precision enthusiasts who want a factory .22 LR that shoots like a custom. If you shoot NRL22, ARA benchrest, or just want to drill small groups at 50 yards, the Mark II BV gives you the barrel mass and trigger control to win. It’s also a solid trainer for centerfire shooters—same manual of arms, same emphasis on fundamentals.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: AccuTrigger is genuinely adjustable and crisp out of the box—no aftermarket trigger needed for most shooters.
• Pro: Heavy barrel stays cool longer during strings, reducing point-of-impact shift.
• Con: The laminate stock is on the heavier side at 7.5 lbs. Not ideal for hunting where you’re packing miles, but perfect for bench and bag work.

Price	$376.08	$450–500	$550–650

The Savage Mark II BV undercuts both competitors on price while keeping up in accuracy. The Ruger is faster for plinking but less consistent for precision. The CZ has a slightly better factory trigger and hammer-forged barrel, but costs nearly double. For the money, the Savage is hard to beat.
