Savage Mark II FV-SR 22 LR 16.5 in Threaded Barrel

The Savage Mark II FV-SR 22 LR 16.5 in Threaded Barrel is a bolt-action rimfire rifle built for precision varmint shooting, target work, and honest field use. It combines Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger with a heavy, button-rifled, fluted barrel that’s threaded at the muzzle. This rifle comes with a one-piece Picatinny-style scope rail and a 5-round detachable box magazine. The fixed matte black synthetic stock and matte blued/black metal finish make it a low-maintenance, durable platform you can count on.

Key Features

• AccuTrigger — lets you adjust the trigger pull weight from about 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools. That means you get a crisp, clean break every time, which helps you shoot more accurately.
• Heavy, Button-Rifled, Fluted Barrel (16.5 in) — the fluting reduces weight and helps the barrel cool faster between shots, while the button rifling gives consistent spin on each bullet. You’ll notice tighter groups at the range.
• Threaded Muzzle (1/2-28) — makes it easy to attach a suppressor or a muzzle brake. If you shoot suppressed, this is a big plus for reducing noise and recoil.
• One-Piece Picatinny-Style Scope Rail — comes already installed, so you don’t need to buy separate bases. Just mount your rings and scope, and you’re ready to zero.
• 5-Round Detachable Box Magazine — feeds .22 LR reliably and lets you load and unload quickly without fumbling with a fixed tube.

Who It’s For

This rifle is a great fit for new shooters who want a quality bolt-action .22 to learn on, varmint hunters who need a quiet, accurate setup (especially with a suppressor), and target shooters who want a reliable rimfire for practice or competition. If you’re looking for an affordable way to improve your marksmanship, this is a solid choice.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: AccuTrigger is adjustable and gives a clean break — one of the best factory triggers on a budget rimfire.
• Pro: Threaded barrel makes suppressor use easy; the fluting helps with cooling.
• Pro: Scope rail is included, saving you money on aftermarket parts.
• Con: The synthetic stock is functional but not as rigid as an aftermarket chassis. If you plan to do precision benchrest shooting, you might want to upgrade the stock later.

FAQ

What twist rate does the barrel have?

The barrel has a 1:16 inch twist rate, which is standard for .22 LR and works well with both standard velocity and subsonic ammunition.

Is the AccuTrigger safe for new shooters?

Yes. The AccuTrigger has a built-in safety blade that prevents the sear from releasing unless the trigger is pulled properly. It’s designed to be both adjustable and drop-safe.

Can I mount a suppressor directly to the threaded barrel?

Yes, the muzzle is threaded 1/2-28, which is the standard thread pitch for .22 LR suppressors. Just make sure your suppressor is rated for rimfire use.

Does the rifle come with a scope?

No, it comes with a one-piece Picatinny-style scope rail, but you’ll need to buy rings and a scope separately.

How does the magazine release work?

The magazine release is a simple push-button located at the front of the trigger guard. It’s easy to operate with your trigger hand.
