Description
The Savage Mark II FSS 22 LR 21-inch Stainless Rifle is a bolt-action .22 LR built for shooters who demand accuracy without the premium price tag. This full-size rimfire pairs a 21-inch button-rifled stainless barrel with Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger, giving you a crisp, repeatable break every time. The fixed synthetic stock keeps weight down and maintenance low, while the drilled-and-tapped receiver lets you mount optics for precision work. At $321.77, this is a drop-in training tool or small-bore match rifle that delivers where it counts.

Key Features
- 21-inch Button-Rifled Stainless Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The button-rifling process ensures consistent groove depth and twist, which translates to tighter groups at 50 and 100 yards compared to standard hammer-forged barrels.
- User-Adjustable AccuTrigger – WHY IT MATTERS: You can dial the pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without a gunsmith, giving you a clean, creep-free break that improves shot-to-shot consistency in competition or training.
- Drilled-and-Tapped Receiver – WHY IT MATTERS: Mount a red dot, LPVO, or traditional scope directly to the receiver using standard bases, so you can customize the sighting system for your match or plinking needs.
- Fixed Synthetic Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: The weather-resistant stock shrugs off rain, mud, and temperature swings, so you can shoot year-round without worrying about warping or swelling.
- Full-Size Bolt-Action Platform – WHY IT MATTERS: The longer action length and 21-inch barrel provide a stable sight radius and better velocity retention than compact rimfires, making it ideal for precision drills and small-bore matches.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for competition shooters who need a reliable .22 LR trainer that mimics the feel of a centerfire bolt gun, and for precision enthusiasts who want to push rimfire accuracy without breaking the bank. It also suits small-bore match shooters, recreational plinkers, and anyone building a practice rig for NRL22 or similar disciplines.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: AccuTrigger is a genuine advantage for precision work; stainless barrel resists corrosion; receiver is ready for optics out of the box; price undercuts most comparable rimfire bolt guns.
- Cons: The synthetic stock feels utilitarian—no adjustable cheek riser or length-of-pull spacers, so tall shooters may need an aftermarket comb pad for proper eye alignment with a scope.

FAQ
What optics can I mount on the Savage Mark II FSS?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard #8-40 scope bases. You can mount any 1-inch or 30mm tube scope using Savage-compatible rings or a one-piece base. For NRL22, a 3-9x or 4-16x rimfire scope is a solid match.
How does the AccuTrigger adjust?
Remove the stock, locate the AccuTrigger adjustment screw, and turn it clockwise to decrease pull weight (down to 2.5 lbs) or counterclockwise to increase (up to 6 lbs). Use a small hex key—Savage includes the tool. Always test with a snap cap after adjustment.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
No. The Savage Mark II FSS barrel is not threaded. If you need a suppressor-ready rimfire, look at the Savage Mark II FV-SR or Mark II BTVLSS. You can have a gunsmith thread this barrel, but it will void the factory warranty.
What is the accuracy potential of this rifle at 50 yards?
With quality match ammunition (e.g., Eley Tenex or SK Rifle Match), expect 0.5–0.75 MOA groups at 50 yards. With bulk ammo, groups open to 1–1.5 MOA. The button-rifled barrel and AccuTrigger give you the mechanical precision to shoot tighter than most shooters can hold.
