Description
Plenty of rimfire rifles claim to be pack guns, but the Savage A22 Takedown was built for it from the ground up. A quick twist separates the barrel from the action, and the whole rifle stows away small enough to ride along in a backpack, boat bag, or behind the seat of a truck. When you get where you're going, it snaps back together just as fast and you're ready to shoot. No tools, no fuss.
What Makes the A22 Takedown Different
The stock is where this rifle earns its keep. There's a flip-up compartment in the cheek riser that stashes extra rotary magazines, plus a sealed storage space inside the pistol grip for small dry goods like matches or a fire starter. It's a thoughtful setup for anyone who treats a .22 as a piece of outdoor gear rather than just a range toy. Up top, a 0 MOA Picatinny rail with a sight channel cut through it lets you run the included low-profile iron sights or mount an optic without giving anything up.
Savage A22 Takedown Performance Details
Under the hood, this is the same proven A22 semi-auto platform Savage has been refining for years. The 18 inch carbon steel barrel is button rifled with a 1:16 twist and comes threaded 1/2-28 at the muzzle, so adding a suppressor or muzzle device is as easy as spinning one on. The user-adjustable AccuTrigger gives you a crisp, light pull you can tune to your preference, which does real work for accuracy on small game and steel targets. Feeding comes from Savage's reliable 10-round rotary magazine that sits flush in the stock, and a crossbolt safety keeps operation simple and familiar.
At around 6.3 pounds, the A22 Takedown carries easily and shoots comfortably for new and experienced hands alike. For squirrel woods, campsite plinking, or a trainer that travels well, this one covers a lot of ground for a rimfire.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the takedown feature work on the Savage A22 Takedown?
It comes apart with a simple twist, separating the barrel assembly from the receiver and stock in seconds without any tools. Reassembly is just as quick, so you can stow it compact in a pack and have it ready to shoot moments after pulling it out. It's designed for repeated takedown without losing zero on the rail-mounted setup.
Can I mount a scope or red dot on the A22 Takedown?
Yes. It ships with a 0 MOA Picatinny rail on the receiver, so most rimfire scopes and red dots bolt right on. The rail also has a sight channel cut through it, meaning you can still use the included low-profile iron sights even with the rail in place.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
It is. The 18 inch barrel comes threaded 1/2-28 at the muzzle, which is the standard rimfire thread pitch, so most .22 suppressors and muzzle devices will thread on directly. That pairing makes this a quiet, packable small game and plinking setup.
What is the storage in the stock for?
The A22 Takedown has two built-in storage spots. A flip-up compartment in the cheek riser holds spare rotary magazines, and the pistol grip has a compartment for dry storage of small items. It's a handy setup for keeping extra ammo and essentials with the rifle when you're away from the bench.
