About This Firearm
The Savage A22 is a semi-automatic .22 LR built for small game and target shooting. It has an MSRP of $359. Its 10-round rotary magazine sits flush with the stock, so a loaded rifle still rests flat on a bag or a bench.
No sights are fitted front or rear, so a mount and a scope go on the drilled-and-tapped receiver before the first shot. The AccuTrigger is set at 4.5 lbs and the owner can adjust it. The safety is a two-position button pushed fully right for safe and left to fire. Nothing on the stock moves, the pull is 13.5 inches, and the muzzle is unthreaded. At 41 inches and 5.60 lbs it is a long rifle for a young shooter.
If you're cross-shopping, the Ruger 10/22 Carbine is out of production, comes sighted, and runs an 18.5-inch barrel at 5.00 lbs with a rotary magazine of its own. The Savage 64 has an MSRP of $179 and feeds from a box magazine with no AccuTrigger behind it.

Strengths & Limitations
- The barrel threads into the receiver on the same headspace system Savage uses on its centerfire rifles, so the chamber is matched to that barrel.
- The barrel is button rifled and the stock is Savage's rugged composite, both standard on the rifle and not extras.
- Savage built the rifle around the rotary magazine, so a spare is a current catalog part.
- Nothing is fitted for aiming, so a mount, rings and a scope all go on the same order as the rifle.
- The unthreaded muzzle rules out a suppressor without barrel work.
- The finish is high-luster black, which shows handling marks more than a matte one would on a working rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it share magazines with the Savage 64?
No. The 64 takes a box magazine and the A22 a rotary one, so they are different parts and not interchangeable.
What twist rate is the barrel?
1-in-16, the standard .22 LR rate.
Which A22 is this one?
The standard rifle with the synthetic stock and the high-luster blued barrel, which Savage lists for small game and target shooting.
