Description
The 22 WMR cartridge hits harder and reaches farther than a standard 22 LR, and the Savage B22 Magnum FV-SR is built to squeeze every bit of accuracy out of it. At the heart of this rifle is a 16.25 inch heavy carbon steel barrel, button rifled with a 1:16 twist and finished in matte blue. The muzzle comes threaded from the factory, so adding a suppressor or muzzle device takes minutes instead of a trip to the gunsmith. Pair a can with the flat-shooting magnum rimfire round and you have a quiet, effective setup for pests and varmints that neighbors will appreciate.
Why the B22 Magnum FV-SR Shoots So Well
Savage put its user-adjustable AccuTrigger on this rifle, which means you can dial the pull weight to your liking and get a clean, crisp break every time. The stock deserves credit too. It features a higher comb for solid cheek weld behind an optic and a target-style vertical pistol grip that keeps your wrist in a more natural, relaxed position. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no iron sights installed, a clear signal this rifle wants a scope on top, and the 22 WMR cartridge rewards good glass out past 100 yards.
A Practical Package from Savage
Feeding comes from a detachable 10-round rotary magazine that sits flush and cycles smoothly with the slick bolt action. The top tang safety falls right under your thumb whether you shoot right or left handed, and at 5.6 pounds with a 34.75 inch overall length, the B22 Magnum FV-SR carries easily on a farm walk or fits neatly in a truck rack.
Where the Savage B22 Magnum Earns Its Keep
This is the rifle you grab when ground squirrels are tearing up the pasture or a coyote keeps testing the chicken coop. It also makes a fine trainer for anyone stepping up from 22 LR who wants more reach without centerfire cost or recoil. Simple, accurate, and built for work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Savage B22 Magnum FV-SR come with sights or a scope?
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or an optic. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount scope bases or a rail and add the glass of your choice. Given the reach of the 22 WMR cartridge, a quality scope is the way to go with this one.
Is the B22 Magnum FV-SR suppressor ready?
Yes, the 16.25 inch heavy barrel comes threaded at the muzzle from the factory, so it will accept a rimfire suppressor or other muzzle device without any gunsmith work. A thread protector keeps things tidy when you are shooting without a can. Suppressed 22 WMR makes for a very pleasant pest control setup.
Can I shoot 22 LR through this rifle?
No, the B22 Magnum FV-SR is chambered specifically for 22 WMR, which is a longer, wider case than 22 LR. The two cartridges are not interchangeable in either direction. If you want a similar rifle in 22 LR, Savage builds the standard B22 series for that cartridge.
What is the AccuTrigger and can I adjust it myself?
The AccuTrigger is Savage's user-adjustable trigger system that lets you set the pull weight to your preference using the included instructions, no gunsmith required. It also incorporates a blade safety in the trigger face for a clean break without a heavy factory pull. It is one of the biggest reasons Savage rimfires have a reputation for out-of-the-box accuracy.
