Description
The A22 platform has been earning its keep since 2016, and the Timber Tactical version takes it in a direction a lot of rimfire fans have been asking for. This is a semi-automatic .22 LR built like a precision rig, with an 18-inch heavy profile carbon steel barrel that wears deep spiral fluting to trim weight and shed heat during long strings. The muzzle comes threaded 1/2×28, so adding a suppressor or muzzle device is as simple as spinning one on. Feed it from the flush-fit 10-round rotary magazine and you get a clean profile that never snags on a bag or bench.
A Laminate Stock Built for Steady Shooting
The olive drab green laminate stock is where this rifle really separates itself from the usual rimfire crowd. Laminate is dense and stable, so it shrugs off weather and holds zero better than a basic hardwood or budget synthetic stock. Savage shaped it with a vertical grip that puts your trigger hand in a natural, upright position, plus a rear hook on the underside of the buttstock so your support hand can drive the rifle from a rear bag. Dual sling studs up front let you run a bipod and a sling at the same time without compromise.
Optics-Ready with the A22 Timber Tactical's 20 MOA Rail
A 20 MOA Picatinny rail comes installed from the factory, which is a thoughtful touch for anyone who wants to stretch a .22 LR out past typical plinking distances. That built-in cant frees up elevation adjustment in your scope for longer shots, making this a natural fit for NRL22 style matches and long-range rimfire practice. Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger rounds out the package, letting you dial in a crisp, light pull without a trip to the gunsmith.
Where the Savage A22 Timber Tactical Earns Its Keep
At 38 inches overall and around six and a half pounds, it balances nicely between a steady bench gun and a carryable small game rifle. Cheap to feed, fun to run, and accurate enough to reward good fundamentals, it makes a great trainer, squirrel rifle, or match-day rimfire all in one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Savage A22 Timber Tactical bolt action or semi-auto?
The A22 Timber Tactical is a semi-automatic rimfire that runs on Savage's proven A22 blowback action. If you prefer a bolt gun, Savage builds the B Series Timber Tactical with the same stock and barrel treatment. This A22 version gives you fast follow-up shots, which is handy for small game and high-volume range days.
Can I put a suppressor on the A22 Timber Tactical?
Yes, the 18-inch barrel comes with a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle from the factory, which is the standard thread pitch for most rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices. Just spin off the thread protector and you are ready to mount a can. A suppressed .22 LR semi-auto is about as pleasant as shooting gets.
Why does the A22 Timber Tactical have a 20 MOA rail?
The factory-installed 20 MOA Picatinny rail tilts your optic slightly downward, which frees up elevation travel in the scope for longer shots. Since .22 LR drops quickly past 100 yards, that extra adjustment range is a big help for long-range rimfire practice and NRL22 style matches. For close-range plinking it works just as well, you simply zero like normal.
What magazines does the Savage A22 Timber Tactical use?
It ships with one 10-round rotary magazine that sits flush with the bottom of the stock, so nothing hangs down to catch on bags or rests. Spare A22 rotary magazines are widely available from Savage, so picking up a few extras for match stages or range sessions is easy.
