Description
Savage built its name on lever guns back in the 1890s, then walked away from the category for decades after the Model 99 went out of production. The Revel Classic marks their return, and it's a good one. This version is chambered in .22 WMR, which gives you noticeably more reach and thump than a .22 LR for pests, rabbits, and small game while still being cheap enough to run all afternoon. The under-barrel tube magazine holds 9 rounds, and the exposed hammer and crossbolt safety keep the manual of arms familiar to anyone who grew up on traditional rimfire lever guns.
Classic Walnut Looks, Modern Revel Build
The satin-finished Turkish walnut stock and straight grip give the Revel Classic that timeless western profile, while the oversize lever loop leaves room for gloved hands on cold mornings. Underneath the traditional styling you get a lightweight aluminum receiver with a matte black finish and an 18 inch medium-profile carbon steel barrel that adds a little steadiness up front without weighing the rifle down. Adjustable open sights come standard, and the receiver is drilled and tapped, so adding a scope or rimfire optic for squirrel season is a simple job.
A Takedown .22 Magnum That Rides Anywhere
The standout feature here is the toolless takedown. The Revel breaks into two compact halves in seconds, which makes it easy to stow in a pack, behind the truck seat, or in a small case for trips to the cabin. It also opens up the action for easier cleaning, something older lever guns never made simple.
Why the Revel Classic 22 WMR Earns Its Spot
The action cycles smoothly right out of the box, the trigger is crisp for a rifle in this class, and the whole package balances nicely for offhand shooting. Whether you're teaching a new shooter the fundamentals, thinning out varmints, or just burning through a box of magnums on a lazy Saturday, this is the kind of rifle that gets passed around and grinned over.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a scope on the Savage Revel Classic?
Yes. The aluminum receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, and Savage offers a Revel scope rail that fits it. A compact rimfire scope or red dot pairs nicely with the .22 WMR's flatter trajectory, though the adjustable open sights work fine on their own for closer shots.
How does the takedown feature work on the Revel Classic?
The rifle separates into two halves without any tools, so it packs down small for a backpack, truck, or compact case in just a few seconds. It's one of the main things that sets the Revel apart from traditional rimfire lever guns, and it also makes routine cleaning a lot less of a chore.
What is the Revel Classic in .22 WMR best suited for?
The .22 Magnum chambering steps things up from a standard .22 LR, giving you more energy and reach for rabbits, squirrels, and pest control out to reasonable rimfire distances. It's also just a fun plinker, and the tube magazine holds 9 rounds so you're not reloading constantly.
Is this Savage's first lever action rifle?
Not at all. Savage was founded on lever guns in the 1890s, and the legendary Model 99 ran for nearly a century before being discontinued in the late 1990s. The Revel, introduced in 2024, is the company's return to lever actions, this time as a rimfire takedown design built with modern materials.
