Savage 93 G Left-Hand Rifle .22 WMR Hardwood Stock
About this product
What is the Savage 93 G Left-Hand Rifle .22 WMR Hardwood Stock? It's a dedicated left-hand bolt-action rifle chambered for the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridge, built with Savage's AccuTrigger system and a classic hardwood stock. This configuration resolves the ergonomic and safety compromises that southpaw shooters face with right-hand actions, specifically by positioning the bolt handle on the left side of the receiver for a fluid, non-dislodging cycling motion. Its core appeal lies in offering a purpose-built, not adapted, left-handed platform that maintains zero as you work the action, which is a notable advantage over ambidextrous stocks fitted to right-hand bolts.
What is the Savage 93 G Left-Hand Rifle used for?
The Savage 93 G is engineered for precise, sustained field shooting at small game and varmints out to 125 yards. Its primary role is as a hunter's rifle, where the .22 WMR cartridge provides a significant energy and trajectory advantage over the standard .22 LR, making clean, ethical kills on pests like groundhogs and raccoons more reliable. The inclusion of adjustable iron sights, a 5-round detachable box magazine, and the Monte Carlo stock shape make it deployment-ready for brush hunting or walking fence lines without the bulk of a scope, though its 1:16" twist rate button-rifled barrel will stabilize most 40-grain loads for those who do opt for optics.
How does the Savage 93 G compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 93 G is fundamentally different from a rifle like the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win; it’s a rimfire magnum versus a centerfire hunting cartridge, and it’s a dedicated left-hand action versus Stevens' right-hand configuration. The Stevens 334 is better suited for deer-sized game at longer ranges with its chambering in .308 Winchester or .243 Winchester, while the Savage 93 G dominates in the low-recoil, low-cost rimfire magnum niche for varmint control. The 93 G's ~$299 price point is nearly $200 less than a typical Stevens 334, reflecting its rimfire action versus a centerfire receiver designed for higher pressures.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded, the Savage 93 G with its hardwood stock weighs 5.8 pounds (92.8 ounces), with an overall length of 40.5 inches from muzzle to the rubber buttpad. Its button-rifled carbon steel sporter barrel measures 20.5 inches in length with a 0.625-inch diameter at the muzzle, contributing to the rifle's handling balance point approximately 4 inches forward of the receiver. For comparison, a synthetic-stock variant might save 6-8 ounces, but this hardwood version adds inertia that aids in offhand stability during a deliberate shot.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for right-handed shooters, as the left-hand bolt placement offers them no ergonomic benefit and may even feel unnatural. It is also not for shooters seeking a multi-role or "tactical" trainer, as the .22 WMR cartridge costs significantly more per round than .22 LR and the rifle lacks a Picatinny rail for modern optic mounting. If your primary use is high-volume plinking under 50 yards, a standard .22 LR rifle or a dedicated conversion kit for an AR-15 platform will offer far lower operating costs than feeding this magnum rimfire.
What's in the box?
You receive the Savage 93 G rifle with its Monte Carlo hardwood stock and blued metalwork, one 5-round detachable box magazine, and the factory manual detailing the AccuTrigger adjustment procedure. The box does not include a scope, rings, a sling, or a case, which are considered field accessories. You should budget an additional $15-$25 for a set of standard 1" rings if you plan to mount an optic to the pre-drilled and tapped receiver, though the included iron sights are fully functional out of the box.
Is the Savage 93 G worth it at $298.99?
At $298.99, the Savage 93 G Left-Hand represents strong value for a left-handed shooter needing a dedicated, accurate rimfire magnum platform. Its primary competitor, the Ruger American Rimfire in .22 WMR, typically retails for $50-$70 more and does not offer a true left-hand bolt action, only a reversible safety. The cost is justified by the AccuTrigger system—allowing pull weight adjustment from approximately 2.5 to 6 pounds—and the genuine left-hand configuration that eliminates handling compromises. For a left-hander committed to the .22 WMR cartridge for hunting, this rifle solves a specific problem that most manufacturers overlook, making the price a fair entry point.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with a suppressor?
- Yes, the Savage 93 G's barrel features a standard 1/2"-28 TPI thread pattern under the protective crown cap, which is the standard for .22 caliber rifles. You will need a .22 caliber-specific suppressor rated for .22 WMR pressures, such as a model from SilencerCo or Dead Air. Always confirm compatibility with your suppressor manufacturer, as rimfire magnum operates at roughly 30,000 PSI versus 24,000 PSI for standard .22 LR.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, the rifle's 40.5-inch overall length fits in most 42-inch or longer takedown rifle cases. I recommend a case with a minimum internal length of 42 inches to ensure the muzzle and buttpad are not compressed. For a hard case, consider the Plano All Weather 42" model, which provides adequate clearance and protective foam for transport.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping for firearms typically takes 7-10 business days from order confirmation to arrival at your selected FFL dealer. This timeframe includes mandatory processing, background check initiation, and carrier transit. Delays can occur during peak seasons or if your local FFL dealer is slow to process incoming transfers, so always confirm with them directly.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- No, Ironclad Armory does not accept returns on firearms due to federal regulations governing serialized items. All sales are final once the firearm is transferred to your FFL. We strongly recommend verifying the rifle's configuration, particularly the left-hand action, with our product specialists prior to purchase to ensure it meets your needs.
- Does this work with aftermarket .22 WMR magazines?
- The rifle is designed to function with Savage's proprietary 5-round rotary magazine for the Model 93. Aftermarket options from companies like ProMag exist but have mixed reliability reviews; we recommend using OEM Savage magazines (part number 99078) for guaranteed fit and feed. The magazine release is a paddle-style latch located just behind the magazine well.
