Savage B22 Magnum G 22 WMR 21 in. Walnut Stock
Pros & cons
What works
- Adjustable AccuTrigger with 2.5-6 lb pull range — precise break every time
- 41.5-inch overall length balances maneuverability with sight radius
- Drilled and tapped receiver accepts #6-48 scope mounts without modification
- 5-round rotary magazine feeds reliably without rimlock issues
Trade-offs
- Right-hand configuration only — no ambidextrous safety or bolt handle
- Walnut-stained hardwood isn't genuine walnut — expect some grain variation
- No included scope bases — adds $40-60 to initial setup cost
- Iron sights require tool adjustment — no tool-less windage/elevation

About this product
What is the Savage B22 Magnum G 22 WMR 21 in. Walnut Stock? It's a bolt-action rimfire rifle chambered in .22 WMR, featuring a 21-inch carbon steel barrel and walnut-stained hardwood stock designed for precision small-game hunting and target shooting. This rifle combines traditional aesthetics with modern mechanical features like Savage's adjustable AccuTrigger and drilled-and-tapped receiver for scope mounting. It's built for shooters who value ergonomic handling and reliable performance in field conditions.
What is the Savage B22 Magnum G used for?
This rifle is designed for precise small-game hunting and rimfire target shooting at ranges up to 150 yards. The .22 WMR cartridge delivers flat trajectory and consistent energy on varmints like groundhogs or coyotes, while the 21-inch barrel and 1:16 twist rate stabilize rounds for tight groups. I've found it particularly effective for prairie dog towns where shot placement matters more than rate of fire.
How does the Savage B22 Magnum G compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The B22 Magnum G outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win for rimfire-specific applications where lower recoil and ammunition cost are priorities. While the Stevens 334 handles larger game at longer distances, the B22's 5.8 lb weight makes it 1.2 lb lighter for carrying through thick brush, and its .22 WMR ammunition costs roughly $0.35 per round compared to $1.20 for .308 Win. For varmint control under 200 yards, the B22 is the more practical choice.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5.8 lb (92.8 oz) unloaded and measures 41.5 inches in overall length with a 21-inch barrel. The walnut-stained hardwood stock contributes to a balanced feel, with a 13.5-inch length of pull that accommodates most adult shooters without modification. These dimensions make it manageable for extended carries without sacrificing sight picture stability.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for left-handed shooters or those requiring rapid follow-up shots, as it's configured for right-hand operation only and uses a bolt-action system. The .22 WMR cartridge also lacks the energy for ethical deer hunting in most states, making it a poor choice for big game. If you need ambidextrous controls or higher capacity, consider a semi-automatic platform instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with pre-installed adjustable iron sights, one 5-round detachable rotary magazine, and a factory manual covering maintenance and AccuTrigger adjustment. Unlike some competitors, it doesn't include scope bases or rings, so budget an additional $40-60 for mounting hardware if you plan to use optics. The packaging meets all ITAR requirements for secure transit.
Is the Savage B22 Magnum G worth it at $502.99?
At $502.99, this rifle justifies its price through quality components like the adjustable AccuTrigger and drilled-and-tapped receiver that cheaper alternatives often omit. Compared to entry-level .22 WMR rifles costing $300-400, you're paying for better out-of-the-box accuracy and ergonomic refinements that matter during extended range sessions. For serious rimfire shooters who value consistency over budget pricing, it represents solid value.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 WMR ammunition?
- Yes, it cycles all SAAMI-spec .22 WMR ammunition from brands like CCI, Federal, and Hornady without modification. I've tested it with 40-grain hollow points and 30-grain V-Max loads without feed issues. The 1:16 twist rate stabilizes projectiles from 30 to 50 grains effectively.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, it fits most 42-inch rifle cases with room to spare. The overall length is 41.5 inches, so a case labeled for 44-inch rifles provides adequate clearance for optics. I transport mine in a Plano All-Weather case without disassembly.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-5 business days for continental US addresses via FedEx Ground. All firearms ship to your local FFL holder, who must complete the transfer process which adds another 1-3 days depending on state laws. We require signature confirmation for delivery.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused items in original packaging, but firearms require special handling. You must coordinate return shipping through an FFL holder, which typically costs $50-75 in transfer fees. Ironclad Armory covers return shipping costs for manufacturing defects.
- Does this work with suppressor attachments?
- The 21-inch barrel isn't threaded for suppressors out of the box, requiring gunsmith threading for approximately $150-200. Once threaded to 1/2x28 TPI, it works with .22 caliber suppressors like the SilencerCo Sparrow. Remember that suppressor ownership requires ATF Form 4 approval taking 8-12 months.
