Description
When Winchester rolled out the 21 Sharp cartridge, Savage was right there with rifles ready to shoot it, and the Mark II F is the workhorse of that first wave. If you have not met the new round yet, 21 Sharp is a rimfire built around a true .21 caliber, non-heeled bullet, which opens the door to jacketed and lead-free projectiles that plain old rimfire designs never could handle well. Pair that with Savage's proven Mark II bolt action and you get a squirrel and plinking rifle with a genuinely modern twist.
What the Mark II F Brings to the Bench
The 21-inch carbon steel sporter barrel is button rifled with a 1:10 twist, a solid match for the cartridge's bullet weights, and it wears a matte blued finish that shrugs off glare in the field. The star of the show is Savage's AccuTrigger, which lets you dial the pull weight down to your liking with a simple adjustment, no gunsmith required. A crisp, light trigger makes a bigger difference in rimfire accuracy than most upgrades, and getting one from the factory at this price point is a big part of why the Mark II line has such a loyal following.
Built for Real Field Time
The fixed matte black synthetic stock is about as low maintenance as it gets. Rain, dew, truck beds, fence crossings, none of it fazes this setup. At 5.5 pounds and 39.5 inches overall, it carries easily on long walks after rabbits and squirrels. An adjustable rear sight and post front sight have you covered out of the box, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting a scope down the road is a quick job.
Feeding the Savage Mark II F
A 10-round detachable box magazine keeps you shooting through a full afternoon of paper punching or tin can duty without constant reloads. The two-position safety and smooth bolt throw make it a comfortable rifle to teach on, and an equally satisfying one for experienced rimfire fans who want to be early to the 21 Sharp party.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 21 Sharp cartridge, and can the Mark II F shoot 22 LR?
21 Sharp is a rimfire cartridge introduced by Winchester in 2024 that uses a true .21 caliber, non-heeled bullet, allowing jacketed and lead-free projectiles that improve accuracy and terminal performance over traditional rimfire designs. It is not interchangeable with 22 LR, so this rifle should only be fed 21 Sharp ammunition. Think of it as a modernized take on the classic small game round.
Can I mount a scope on the Savage Mark II F 21 Sharp?
Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so adding bases and rings is a straightforward job with basic tools. Until then, the adjustable rear sight and post front sight work fine for closer range plinking and small game work.
Is the AccuTrigger really adjustable at home?
It is. Savage's AccuTrigger lets you adjust the pull weight yourself using the included tool and the instructions in the manual, no gunsmith needed. The integrated blade design lets Savage ship it with a lighter, crisper pull than most factory triggers while maintaining a safe setup.
What is the Mark II F best suited for?
This one shines as a small game rifle and range plinker. The 5.5 pound weight and weather-resistant synthetic stock make it easy to carry all day, and the 10-round detachable magazine keeps range sessions rolling. It is also a great pick for anyone wanting to try the new 21 Sharp cartridge without a big investment.
