Savage Rascal LH Youth .22 LR 16.13in Hardwood Single-Shot

Description

The Savage Rascal LH Youth .22 LR 16.13in Hardwood Single-Shot is a left-hand bolt-action rimfire built for one thing: teaching the fundamentals of accuracy without distractions. Chambered in .22 LR with a crisp, user-adjustable AccuTrigger, this compact single-shot rifle uses a 16.13-inch sporter barrel and a one-piece hardwood stock scaled for smaller frames. It’s the same attention to trigger and barrel quality you’d expect from Savage, but sized for the next generation of shooters.

Key Features

• AccuTrigger System — Why it matters: You get a clean, crisp break adjustable from 2.5 to 4 pounds, eliminating creep and teaching the shooter to call their shots without fighting a gritty trigger.
• Single-Shot Bolt Action — Why it matters: Forces the shooter to focus on each round — load, aim, fire, repeat — building discipline and reinforcing sight picture and follow-through on every trigger press.
• 16.13-Inch Sporter Barrel — Why it matters: Keeps the rifle short and maneuverable for young shooters while still delivering the accuracy needed for small-bore target work out to 50 yards.
• Left-Hand Bolt and Stock — Why it matters: Left-handed shooters get a proper bolt handle position and cheek weld, so they can work the action without breaking their shooting position.
• Hardwood Stock Sized for Youth — Why it matters: The stock’s shorter length of pull and slim grip panels let smaller-framed shooters reach the trigger and maintain a natural point of aim without stretching.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the left-handed youth shooter stepping into rimfire competition or training. It’s also for the instructor or parent who wants a dedicated platform to teach safe firearm handling, loading discipline, and shot placement without magazine-fed distractions. If you’re building a foundation for NRA Smallbore or 4-H shooting sports, this is the tool.

Pros / Cons

• Pro: AccuTrigger is factory-adjustable without tools — rare at this price point.
• Pro: Lightweight and compact; easy for a 7- to 12-year-old to handle at the range or in the field.
• Con: Single-shot loading is slower than a magazine-fed .22, so it’s not ideal for rapid-fire drills or plinking sessions where volume is the goal.

Per Savage Arms specs, the Rascal LH is the only factory left-hand youth .22 with a fully adjustable trigger in this price tier. The Crickett and Cricket Precision are solid options for right-handed shooters, but they lack the left-hand bolt and stock geometry that makes the Rascal LH a true fit for lefties.

FAQ

Is the Savage Rascal LH safe for a first-time shooter?

Yes. The single-shot action requires the shooter to manually load each round, which enforces safe handling and muzzle discipline. The AccuTrigger prevents accidental discharge by giving a clean, predictable break.

What is the length of pull on this rifle?

The length of pull measures approximately 11.5 inches, which fits most youth shooters ages 7 to 12. Adult shooters with smaller frames can also use it comfortably for benchrest or field work.

Can I mount a scope on the Savage Rascal LH?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Savage’s proprietary scope base pattern. You can add a rail or rings to mount a rimfire scope for precise target acquisition.

Does this rifle use standard .22 LR ammunition?

Yes. It chambers standard .22 LR rounds only. Do not use .22 Short, .22 Long, or hyper-velocity loads exceeding 1,300 fps for best accuracy and safety.
