Savage Mark II FVXP 22 LR 21″ Bolt-Action Rifle
Pros & cons
What works
- AccuTrigger adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds—crisper than most factory rimfire triggers
- Weighs 5.5 pounds—1.2 pounds lighter than a wood-stocked CZ 455
- Includes 3-9x40mm scope—saves $120+ versus buying separately
- 1:16 twist rate stabilizes standard velocity ammo for sub-MOA groups at 50 yards
Trade-offs
- Synthetic stock lacks adjustable comb or length of pull—limits customization for precision shooters
- Magazine capacity only 5 rounds—half the capacity of a Ruger 10/22
- Matte blued finish shows wear faster than stainless or Cerakote—requires regular oiling in humid conditions

About this product
The Savage Mark II FVXP is a full-size bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 LR engineered for accurate, economical range sessions and responsible field use. It combines a 21-inch button-rifled carbon steel barrel with a matte blued finish and a fixed black synthetic stock for durable, low-maintenance performance. The action uses Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger for a crisp, customizable trigger pull that supports consistent shot-making.
What is the Savage Mark II FVXP used for?
The Savage Mark II FVXP is designed for precision small-game hunting and cost-effective marksmanship training. With its 1:16 twist rate barrel and AccuTrigger system, it maintains sub-MOA accuracy with standard velocity ammunition at 50 yards, making it ideal for varmint control and introducing new shooters to bolt-action fundamentals without the recoil or expense of centerfire cartridges.
How does the Savage Mark II FVXP compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage Mark II FVXP outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in ammunition cost and recoil management, firing .22 LR rounds at approximately $0.08 per shot versus .308 Win at $1.20+. However, the Stevens 334 chambered in .308 Win delivers significantly more energy at range—making the Savage superior for training and small game, while the Stevens is better suited for medium-game hunting where terminal ballistics matter.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Savage Mark II FVXP weighs 5.5 pounds unloaded and measures 40.5 inches in overall length with its 21-inch barrel. The synthetic stock contributes to its light weight compared to wood-stocked alternatives, and the 13.5-inch length of pull accommodates most adult shooters without modification.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for hunters requiring rapid follow-up shots or those engaging targets beyond 150 yards. The bolt-action mechanism and .22 LR cartridge limit practical engagement speed and effective range compared to semi-automatic platforms or centerfire calibers like those found in our Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge.
What's in the box?
The package includes the rifle with a factory-mounted 3-9x40mm scope, one 5-round detachable box magazine, and swivel studs for sling attachment. Notably, it does not include a bipod or hearing protection, which must be purchased separately for optimal range use.
Is the Savage Mark II FVXP worth it at $339.99?
At $339.99, the Savage Mark II FVXP offers exceptional value for shooters prioritizing accuracy and low operating costs. The included scope and adjustable trigger provide out-of-the-box functionality that typically requires $150+ in upgrades on competing models, making it a smart entry into precision rimfire shooting.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 LR ammunition?
- Yes, the Savage Mark II FVXP cycles reliably with all standard velocity .22 LR rounds from brands like CCI and Federal. I recommend avoiding hyper-velocity loads above 1,280 fps, as they can reduce accuracy in the 1:16 twist barrel.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, it fits most 42-inch rifle cases with room to spare. The overall length is 40.5 inches, so a Plano All-Weather case or similar will accommodate it without disassembly.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-5 business days via FedEx Ground for in-stock items. All firearms require FFL transfer, which adds 1-2 days for processing once delivered to your licensed dealer.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused items in original packaging, but firearms require a restocking fee of $50 due to regulatory paperwork. Ensure your local FFL can receive transfers before purchasing.
- Does this work with a suppressor?
- Yes, the 21-inch barrel is threaded 1/2x28, compatible with most .22 LR suppressors like the SilencerCo Sparrow. Remember that suppressor ownership requires NFA paperwork and a $200 tax stamp.
