Description
Rimfire rifles that take precision seriously are having a moment, and the Savage B22 Timber Tactical is one of the better examples of the trend done right. Chambered in .22 WMR, it gives you noticeably more reach and punch than a standard .22 LR, which matters when you're working prairie dogs at 125 yards or want a little extra authority on coyote-sized varmints. The 18 inch heavy-profile barrel wears deep spiral fluting that trims weight and looks sharp doing it, and the muzzle comes threaded 1/2×28 with a protector cap installed, so adding a suppressor or muzzle device is a five-minute job.
A Laminate Stock Built for Steady Shooting
The OD green laminate stock is the heart of this rifle. Laminate handles moisture and temperature swings far better than plain hardwood, so your zero stays put through ugly weather. Savage shaped it with a near-vertical grip that puts your trigger finger in a natural, straight-back position, plus an angled rear hook on the buttstock that rides nicely on a rear bag or in your support hand. Dual forward sling studs let you run a bipod and a sling at the same time without compromise.
B22 Timber Tactical Trigger and Optics Setup
Savage's 1.5 lb Precision AccuTrigger comes standard on the B Series Timber Tactical, giving you a crisp, light, user-adjustable pull that punches well above what most factory rimfires offer. Up top, a 20 MOA Picatinny rail comes installed from the factory, which builds in extra elevation for stretching the .22 WMR out to longer distances. Feeding comes from a flush-fit rotary magazine that sits clean against the stock line.
At 6.6 pounds bare, this rifle has enough heft to settle down on bags and stay steady through a string, without being a chore to carry on a walk through the back forty. For small game, varmint work, or just ringing steel on a lazy Saturday, the B22 Timber Tactical is a lot of rifle in a tidy rimfire package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Savage B22 Timber Tactical suppressor ready?
Yes. The 18 inch barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 from the factory with a thread protector installed. That's the most common rimfire thread pitch, so nearly any .22 caliber suppressor or muzzle device will spin right on.
Does the B22 Timber Tactical come with iron sights?
No, this rifle ships without iron sights. Instead, Savage installs a 20 MOA Picatinny rail on the receiver at the factory, so you just need rings and the scope of your choice. The built-in 20 MOA cant gives you extra elevation adjustment for stretching the .22 WMR to longer ranges.
Is the AccuTrigger on the B22 Timber Tactical adjustable?
It is. The B Series Timber Tactical rifles get Savage's Precision AccuTrigger, which can be tuned down to a 1.5 pound pull. You can adjust it yourself at home with the included tool to find the weight that suits your shooting style.
What is .22 WMR good for compared to .22 LR?
.22 WMR, often called .22 Magnum, runs noticeably faster and hits harder than .22 LR, extending your effective range out to roughly 150 yards. It's a favorite for varmints, rabbits, squirrels, and even coyotes at reasonable distances. Ammo costs more than .22 LR, but the added reach and flatter trajectory are worth it for field work.
