Savage Rascal Youth .22 LR Single Shot Bolt Action Rifle, Orange Stock

Description

Every serious rifleman remembers their first .22, and the Savage Rascal has quietly become that rifle for a whole generation of new kids on the range. This is a true micro-sized bolt action, chambered in .22 LR with a 16.125 inch blued carbon steel barrel, a short 11.25 inch length of pull, and a weight of right around 2.66 pounds. Put simply, it fits a kid the way your rifle fits you, and that fit is what makes those first sessions behind the sights click instead of frustrate.

Why the Rascal Works as a First Rifle

The single shot design is the whole point here. One round at a time forces a new shooter to slow down, focus on breathing and trigger control, and make each shot count. The design earns extra points on safety too. The action cocks when the bolt is lifted, there is a manual thumb safety, and the rifle can be unloaded without ever touching the trigger. A feed ramp makes dropping a round into the chamber simple for small hands, and a cocking indicator lets you confirm the rifle's condition at a glance.

Real Savage Features, Kid-Sized Package

Where a lot of budget youth rifles cut corners, Savage put its signature AccuTrigger on the Rascal. It breaks clean with no creep and can be adjusted at home without a trip to the gunsmith, so the trigger can be tuned as the shooter's skills come along. The sights are another standout. Instead of cheap open notches, you get a post front paired with an adjustable rear peep, which is the same style of aperture setup used to teach marksmanship fundamentals for over a century. Owners routinely report these little rifles punching tight groups at 50 yards, so the accuracy is there when the shooter does their part.

The Orange Stock Savage Rascal, Model 13810

This version wears a bright orange synthetic sporter stock that kids genuinely love picking out, and it is easy to spot around camp or in the safe. The synthetic furniture shrugs off dings and weather, and sling swivel studs are already in place for a carry sling. For plinking cans, first squirrel hunts, or structured range time, this is one of the best ways to pass the shooting tradition down.
