The Savage A22 Magnum .22 WMR Rifle with a 10-round black synthetic stock is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle built for reliable cycling with .22 Winchester Magnum cartridges. It uses Savage’s delayed-blowback action, a hard-chrome bolt, and a lightweight aluminum receiver to keep rounds feeding smoothly. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger gives you a crisp, customizable pull, and the detachable rotary magazine makes reloading quick. This is a field-ready rifle for varmint hunting and recreational precision shooting.

Key Features
- Delayed-Blowback Action – Why it matters: This system handles the higher pressure of .22 WMR rounds without jamming, so you get consistent cycling shot after shot.
- User-Adjustable AccuTrigger – Why it matters: You can dial the trigger pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds, giving you a clean break for tighter groups at the range or in the field.
- Hard-Chrome Bolt – Why it matters: The chrome finish resists corrosion and wear, which extends the life of the bolt under heavy use with magnum ammunition.
- Detachable Rotary Magazine – Why it matters: It feeds .22 WMR rounds reliably and lets you swap mags fast without fumbling with loose cartridges.
- Fixed Black Synthetic Stock – Why it matters: The stock is lightweight and weather-resistant, so you can carry this rifle through rain, mud, or brush without worrying about swelling or cracking.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for varmint hunters who need a flat-shooting .22 WMR for coyotes and groundhogs, and for target shooters who want a semi-auto rimfire that runs reliably. It also works well for new gun owners looking for a low-recoil rifle with a good trigger. If you hunt small game or plink at steel, the A22 Magnum fits the bill.
