Savage 93-FV 22 WMR 21″ Heavy Barrel AccuTrigger
About this product
The Savage 93-FV 22 WMR is a bolt-action rimfire rifle built for precision varmint work with a 21-inch heavy barrel and Savage's adjustable AccuTrigger system. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum, it delivers significantly more energy than standard .22 LR while maintaining the affordability of rimfire ammunition. The rifle comes optics-ready with a synthetic stock and detachable magazine, making it a practical choice for hunters and target shooters who need consistent performance without centerfire recoil or cost.
What is the Savage 93-FV 22 WMR used for?
This rifle is designed for precision varmint hunting and informal target shooting at ranges up to 150 yards. The heavy 21-inch barrel provides exceptional stability for repeated shots, while the .22 WMR cartridge delivers 40-grain bullets at approximately 1,910 fps—nearly double the energy of standard .22 LR. I've found it particularly effective for ground squirrels and raccoons where larger calibers would be excessive.
How does the Savage 93-FV compare to the Stevens 334 in .243 Win?
The Savage 93-FV is superior for small game under 75 yards, while the Stevens 334 in .308 Win dominates at longer ranges with larger game. The .22 WMR produces 240 ft-lbs of energy versus 2,650 ft-lbs from .308 Winchester, making the Stevens 334 better for deer but overkill for varmints. For cost-conscious shooters, the Savage consumes $0.35 per round versus $1.20 for .308, saving approximately $85 per 100 rounds.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6 pounds exactly and measures 39.75 inches overall with a 21-inch barrel. The synthetic stock contributes to its manageable weight, while the heavy barrel profile measures 0.920 inches at the muzzle for reduced harmonic vibration. This configuration keeps the center of gravity forward, improving off-hand stability compared to lighter sporter barrels.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for big game hunters or those needing semi-automatic functionality. The .22 WMR lacks the energy for ethical deer hunting (minimum 1,000 ft-lbs recommended in most states), and the bolt-action operation limits follow-up shot speed. If you're pursuing whitetail or need rapid fire, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with one 5-round detachable magazine, factory-installed scope bases, and a trigger adjustment tool. Unlike some competitors, Savage includes the Allen wrench for AccuTrigger adjustments—a $12 value if purchased separately. The package lacks iron sights, requiring immediate optics investment averaging $150-$300 for proper use.
Is the Savage 93-FV worth it at $311.99?
At $311.99, this rifle delivers exceptional value for precision rimfire shooters. The AccuTrigger alone is a $80 upgrade on aftermarket triggers, and the heavy barrel would cost $220 if custom-fitted. Compared to Ruger's American Rimfire at $389, the Savage provides better barrel construction and trigger for $77 less, making it the smarter choice for serious varminters.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 LR ammunition?
- No—this rifle is chambered exclusively for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22 WMR), which measures 1.052 inches in length versus .22 LR's 0.613 inches. Attempting to fire .22 LR could cause dangerous pressure issues and accuracy problems. Always use CCI, Federal, or Hornady 22 WMR ammunition specifically.
- Does it come with iron sights installed?
- No, the Savage 93-FV ships without iron sights, requiring immediate optics mounting. The receiver comes pre-drilled with #6-48 scope base holes spaced 6.2 inches apart. Plan to budget $150-$300 for a quality rimfire scope like Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32 or Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- Firearms shipping to Montana typically requires 3-5 business days via FedEx Priority Overnight, plus 1-2 days for FFL processing. All shipments must go through licensed dealers like Bozeman Tactical or Montana Armory for background checks under federal law 18 USC § 922.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms sales are final once transferred through an FFL, per ATF regulations 27 CFR § 478.124. We allow returns only for manufacturing defects within 30 days—measure your stock length of pull at 13.5 inches before purchasing to ensure fit. Contact Ironclad Armory support for warranty claims.
- Does this work with suppressor attachments?
- Yes, the 21-inch barrel features 1/2"-28 threads under the protective cap, compatible with most .22 caliber suppressors like SilencerCo Sparrow or Dead Air Mask. Remember that suppressor ownership requires ATF Form 4 approval and $200 tax stamp—a 9-12 month process under current NFA guidelines.
