Description
The 22 WMR has been putting rabbits, squirrels, and pesky varmints down for decades, and the Savage B22 Magnum G gives that flat-shooting little cartridge a home that looks as good as it performs. The walnut-stained hardwood stock brings traditional character to the rack, but the shape is anything but old fashioned. Savage built the B-Series stocks with a higher comb and a target-style vertical pistol grip, so your head sits naturally behind the sights and your wrist stays in a comfortable position through a full afternoon of shooting.
Why the B22 Magnum G Shoots the Way It Does
Accuracy starts with the trigger, and this rifle carries Savage's AccuTrigger, which you can tune to your preferred pull weight without a trip to a gunsmith. From the factory these tend to break clean and light, which makes a real difference when you are trying to thread a shot to a small target at distance. The 21 inch button-rifled carbon steel barrel wears a matte blued finish and a 1:16 twist that handles standard 22 WMR loads well. Feeding comes from a 10-round detachable rotary magazine that sits flush with the stock, so nothing hangs down to snag on brush or a shooting bag.
Set Up the Savage B22 Magnum Your Way
Out of the box you get an adjustable rear sight with a bead front, so it is ready to shoot the day you bring it home. The receiver is also drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and most owners end up topping these with glass to squeeze out everything the cartridge offers. A two-position top tang safety falls right under your thumb and works the same whether you shoot right or left handed.
At 6.4 pounds with a 39.75 inch overall length, the B22 Magnum G carries easily on a long walk through the woods and settles nicely on the bench. For anyone who wants a wood-stocked rimfire with real reach beyond what a 22 LR can do, this one earns its spot in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a scope on the Savage B22 Magnum G?
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, so adding bases and rings is quick and simple. Most owners scope these rifles to take full advantage of the 22 WMR's reach, but the included adjustable iron sights work fine if you prefer to keep it simple.
Is the AccuTrigger on the B22 Magnum G adjustable at home?
It is. Savage's AccuTrigger lets you adjust the pull weight yourself using the included method described in the manual, no gunsmith needed. They typically break clean and crisp from the factory, which is a big part of why the B-Series rifles have a reputation for punching above their weight in accuracy.
What is the 22 WMR good for compared to 22 LR?
The 22 WMR runs noticeably faster and flatter than 22 LR, which extends your effective range on small game and varmints like rabbits, squirrels, prairie dogs, and even fox-sized predators. You give up a little in ammo cost, but you gain real downrange energy. It fills a nice gap between a standard rimfire and a centerfire varmint rig.
Does the B22 Magnum G magazine sit flush with the stock?
Yes, the 10-round rotary magazine fits flush against the bottom of the stock, so there is nothing protruding to catch on gear or brush. It detaches easily for loading and the rotary design feeds 22 WMR reliably. Spare magazines are available if you want a couple of loaded backups in your pocket.
