About this product
The Savage B22 G is a full-size bolt-action rimfire rifle chambered in .22 LR that combines traditional walnut-stained hardwood furniture with modern mechanical features like the AccuTrigger system. Built for right-handed shooters, it delivers reliable manual operation with a 21-inch carbon steel barrel and comes ready for optics mounting. At 6.4 pounds, it balances field portability with range-ready stability.
What is the Savage B22 G used for?
The Savage B22 G is designed for small game hunting, target practice, and introductory marksmanship training. Its 1:16 twist rate stabilizes standard .22 LR ammunition effectively out to 100 yards, while the walnut-stained hardwood stock provides a classic feel that reduces fatigue during extended sessions. The included adjustable iron sights make it field-ready without optics.
How does the Savage B22 G compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage B22 G outperforms the Stevens 334 in rimfire precision due to its AccuTrigger system and dedicated .22 LR chambering, while the Stevens 334 in .308 Win offers centerfire power for larger game. The B22 G's 10-round rotary magazine allows faster reloads than the Stevens' typical 4-round capacity, making it superior for rapid-fire target work. For hunters needing versatility across calibers, the Stevens platform might be preferable.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Savage B22 G weighs 6.4 pounds with an overall length of 40.5 inches due to its 21-inch barrel. The walnut-stained hardwood stock measures 13.75 inches in length of pull, accommodating most adult shooters comfortably. The sporter-profile barrel maintains a 0.65-inch diameter at the muzzle for consistent harmonics.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not ideal for left-handed shooters or those seeking tactical customization. The right-hand-only bolt and traditional stock design limit ambidextrous use and accessory mounting compared to synthetic-stocked alternatives like the the Stevens 334 Rifle. Hunters requiring magnum calibers for larger game should consider centerfire options.
What's in the box?
The package includes the rifle itself, one 10-round detachable rotary magazine, and a factory manual covering disassembly and trigger adjustment. No optics, sling, or cleaning kit are included—plan to add approximately $150-$300 for a basic scope and rings. The receiver comes pre-drilled with 6-48 threads for standard rimfire mounts.
Is the Savage B22 G worth it at $478.99?
At $478.99, the Savage B22 G justifies its price with features like the user-adjustable AccuTrigger and walnut-stained stock that compete with rifles costing $100 more. Compared to entry-level .22 LR bolt actions without adjustable triggers or iron sights, it offers immediate usability straight from the box. For shooters prioritizing mechanical refinement over bare-bones functionality, this represents a solid mid-tier investment.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 LR ammunition?
- Yes, the Savage B22 G chambers all standard .22 Long Rifle rounds including 40-grain lead round nose and high-velocity hollow points. The 1:16 twist rate optimally stabilizes projectiles up to 42 grains. Avoid hyper-velocity loads exceeding 1,600 fps as they may reduce accuracy.
- Does it fit standard scope mounts?
- The receiver is drilled and tapped with 6-48 threads for standard rimfire scope bases like those from Weaver or Leupold. The 21-inch barrel provides ample eye relief for scopes up to 12x magnification. I recommend Warne Maxima rings for secure mounting under recoil.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms ship via FedEx 2-Day Air with adult signature required, typically arriving within 3-5 business days after FFL verification. All shipments include tracking and require pickup from your selected licensed dealer. Processing time adds 1-2 business days for compliance checks.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused items in original packaging, subject to a 15% restocking fee. Firearms must be returned through an FFL holder with all original documentation. Contact support for a return authorization number before shipping.
- Does this work with suppressors?
- The 21-inch barrel lacks threaded muzzle threads, so direct suppressor attachment requires gunsmithing to add 1/2x28 threading costing approximately $120-$180. Alternatively, consider the [Stevens 334 Rifle](/products/stevens-334-243win-20-3rd-black/) with its factory-threaded barrel for easier suppressor compatibility.
