Description
Laminate rimfires usually fall into one of two camps: heavy target guns or plain-Jane walnut lookalikes. The Savage Mark II Minimalist splits the difference in the best way. Boyd's sculpted away everything you don't need from the stock, leaving a lightweight, angular green laminate design with a fixed thumbhole grip that settles into your hand naturally. At just 5.68 pounds and 37 inches overall, this is a rifle you can carry all day on a squirrel hunt or hand off to a new shooter without anyone getting worn out.
What Makes the Mark II Minimalist Worth a Look
Under that eye-catching stock sits the same proven Mark II action Savage has been refining for decades. The 18 inch carbon steel barrel is button rifled with a 1:16 twist and finished in matte black, and the muzzle comes threaded 1/2-28 with a cap installed, so adding a suppressor or muzzle device is a two-minute job. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with two-piece Weaver bases already in the box, which means you can mount glass the same day you bring it home. Feeding comes from a 10-round detachable box magazine, and a manual safety keeps things simple.
AccuTrigger Comes Standard on This Savage 22
The AccuTrigger is where this rifle really separates itself from other rimfires in its class. It adjusts from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds without a trip to the gunsmith, so you can dial in a clean, light break for precision work or keep it a bit heavier for field carry. A good trigger matters more on a 22 than most people realize, and it's a big reason Mark II rifles have such a strong reputation for accuracy.
A Rimfire Built for the Range and the Woods
Whether you're punching tiny groups at 50 yards, running an NRL22 style match on a budget, thinning out pests around the property, or teaching fundamentals with cheap ammo, the Mark II Minimalist covers a lot of ground for a bolt gun this light. The green laminate holds up to weather far better than traditional wood, and the whole package just looks sharp on the rack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Savage Mark II Minimalist come with sights or a scope?
No iron sights come on this model. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and Savage includes two-piece Weaver bases in the box, so all you need to add is a set of rings and your optic of choice. A basic rimfire scope pairs really well with this rifle.
Is the barrel on the Mark II Minimalist suppressor ready?
Yes. The 18 inch carbon steel barrel is threaded 1/2-28, which is the standard rimfire thread pattern, and it ships with a thread cap installed. Most 22 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices will spin right on.
Can I adjust the trigger on this rifle myself?
You can. The Mark II Minimalist uses Savage's AccuTrigger, which is user adjustable from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds without any gunsmithing. It gives you a crisp, clean break that you rarely find on a factory rimfire at this level.
What is the stock on the Savage Mark II Minimalist made of?
The stock is a green laminated wood design from Boyd's with a fixed thumbhole grip. Laminate is more stable than standard hardwood and shrugs off moisture and temperature swings, so it holds zero well in the field. It also keeps the whole rifle at a light 5.68 pounds.
