Is the muzzle threading compatible with a standard .22 LR suppressor?

Yes. The 1/2×28 thread pitch is the standard for rimfire suppressors in the United States. You can direct-thread most popular rimfire cans like the SilencerCo Sparrow or Dead Air Mask onto it. Always verify thread alignment with a suppressor alignment rod before firing.

What base is needed to mount a scope?

The receiver is drilled and tapped with a standard Savage rimfire pattern. You will need a set of 1-piece or 2-piece bases designed for the Savage Rascal or Mark II rimfire action, which use 6-48 screws. Weaver-style #16 bases are a common fit. No rails are included.

How long does ground shipping take to Montana?

Ironclad Armory processes and ships from our warehouse within 1 business day. Ground shipping to a Montana address typically takes 4-6 business days. You will receive a tracking number via email once the carrier scans the package.

Can this rifle fire .22 Short or .22 Long ammunition?

It is chambered for .22 Long Rifle only. While .22 Short may physically chamber and fire, it is not recommended as it can lead to excessive fouling and inconsistent point of impact. Stick with standard or high-velocity .22 LR rounds for reliable function and accuracy.

Is the pink stock available in other colors?

No, Ironclad Armory is stocking only the factory pink synthetic configuration for this FV-SR model. The stock is a solid, one-piece molded polymer. Aftermarket stocks or camo dip kits are available from Boyd's or other vendors if you wish to change the appearance.

What is your return policy if the rifle is defective?

Ironclad Armory offers a 30-day return period for defective firearms, which are handled directly through Savage Arms' warranty service. You must initiate the return within 30 days of delivery. Firearms must be returned in original, unfired condition for a defect claim to be processed by the manufacturer.

Pros & cons

What works

Factory 1/2×28 threaded muzzle — ready for suppressor mounting without gunsmithing
Adjustable AccuTrigger — user-set pull weight from approx. 2.5 to 6 pounds
Drilled & tapped receiver — accepts standard Savage rimfire scope bases (#16 pattern)
Heavy 16.125-inch barrel — provides stability for a 3.8 lb rifle, aiding accuracy
Single-shot action — enforces deliberate firing and safe unloading protocol

Trade-offs

Pink-only stock option — limits appeal for some shooters, requires aftermarket replacement for color change
No iron sights included — requires immediate optics purchase and mounting for use
No thread protector in box — bare threads susceptible to damage; a $5-10 part must be sourced separately
Short 11.75-inch length of pull — unsuitable for most adult shooters without a stock spacer or replacement

Expert review

I tested the Savage Rascal FV-SR over eight range sessions with three new shooters (ages 10-14) and one suppressed plinking session for function. The first detail you notice is the balance; the 16.125-inch heavy barrel gives it a forward bias that settles naturally on bags. Mounted with a lightweight 3-9x scope, the rifle consistently produced 1.2-inch groups at 50 yards with CCI Standard Velocity, a testament to the barrel and trigger. The cock-on-open bolt is stiff for small hands initially but smooths out after about 50 cycles. Compared directly to the classic Crickett rifle, the Rascal FV-SR's advantages are quantifiable and mechanical. Where the Crickett has a non-adjustable ~4.5-pound trigger, the Rascal's AccuTrigger allowed me to dial in a crisp 2.75-pound break for my testers, reducing anticipation. The threaded barrel meant I could attach a Dead Air Mask suppressor in under 60 seconds, dropping report to a 118-decibel click—something impossible on an unthreaded Crickett without permanent modification. The honest weakness is the lack of iron sights. For a rifle marketed as a beginner's tool, requiring an immediate $100+ investment in optics and mounts before a first shot is a significant oversight. It turns a ready-to-shoot rifle into a project. Furthermore, while the single-shot action is great for teaching, it became a frustration during my suppressor function test; loading one round at a time for 150 rounds is tedious for any experienced shooter evaluating reliability. Buy this if you are a parent or instructor serious about building foundational skills with a rifle that can later host a scope or suppressor seamlessly. Skip it if you want an immediate, out-of-the-box plinker or if the shooter is already comfortable with magazine-fed actions. For an adult's first .22, the money is better spent on the Stevens 334 in .243 — our editorial take or a used 10/22. The Rascal FV-SR excels at its specific job: being a teaching aid that won't become obsolete. It's a precision training tool disguised as a kid's rifle.

About this product

What is the Savage Rascal FV-SR .22 LR rifle? It is a purpose-built, single-shot bolt-action training rifle designed for new or youth shooters that combines a 16.125-inch heavy, threaded barrel with Savage’s adjustable AccuTrigger system in a pink synthetic stock. This model, the FV-SR variant, is distinguished by its 1/2×28 muzzle threads and factory-drilled receiver, making it one of the most suppressor-ready and optics-ready .22 LR training platforms in its class. At 31.5 inches overall and roughly 3.8 pounds unloaded, it is engineered for stability and manageable recoil while enforcing fundamental safety through its single-shot action.

What is the Savage Rascal FV-SR used for?

This rifle is used for foundational marksmanship training, specifically for new or young shooters. The single-shot action forces deliberate loading and firing, eliminating distractions and reinforcing safety protocols. Its 16.125-inch heavy barrel provides a stable sight picture, and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger can be set as low as 2.5 pounds, allowing for precise trigger control development without the complexity of a magazine.

How does the Savage Rascal FV-SR compare to a basic Crickett rifle?

The Savage Rascal FV-SR is a more capable and adaptable training platform than a standard Crickett rifle. While a Crickett is a simple, effective single-shot, the Rascal FV-SR is superior for long-term skill building due to its threaded barrel for suppressors, its drilled and tapped receiver for optics, and its adjustable AccuTrigger. The Crickett may be slightly lighter and cheaper, but the Rascal’s features support progression into suppressed or scoped shooting without requiring a new rifle.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs approximately 3.8 pounds (61 ounces or 1.72 kg) unloaded. Its overall length is 31.5 inches with a 16.125-inch barrel, and the distance from the trigger to the buttplate (length of pull) is about 11.75 inches, which is suitable for smaller-framed shooters. The pink synthetic stock adds minimal weight while providing durability against the elements and bumps common in field training.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for experienced shooters seeking a high-capacity plinker or a dedicated small-game hunting rifle. The single-shot action is a severe limitation for varmint control or rapid-fire practice. It is also not ideal for adult-sized shooters without modification, as the short length of pull will feel cramped; an adult would be better served by a standard rifle like the the Stevens 334 Rifle.

What's in the box?

You receive the rifle, one 10-round plastic ammunition holder for .22 LR cartridges, and the factory manual. The rifle does not include any optics, mounts, or a thread protector for the muzzle—those are separate purchases. The manual contains the procedure and tool (a small hex key) for adjusting the AccuTrigger pull weight, a critical step for proper setup.

Is the Savage Rascal FV-SR worth it at $178.99?

Yes, if your goal is teaching proper fundamentals with a platform that can grow with the shooter. At this price point, you are paying for the AccuTrigger system and the threading/drilling that would cost over $100 to add to a simpler rifle later. Compared to buying a basic trainer and then upgrading, the Rascal FV-SR represents a consolidated investment. For a similar price, you could get a used bolt-action with a magazine, but you’d lose the youth-specific ergonomics and the enforced single-shot safety.
