The Savage A22 Pro Varmint .22 WMR is a semi-automatic magnum rimfire rifle with a 22-inch fluted heavy barrel and a black Boyds Pro Varmint stock (Savage part no. 47222). Savage builds it on an exclusive delayed-blowback action that cycles the .22 Magnum cartridge reliably. A one-piece Picatinny rail and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger let a varmint shooter set it up for the job. A 10-round rotary magazine means fewer pauses when the targets keep coming.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .22 WMR, which reaches farther and hits harder than .22 LR on varmints.
• The action is a delayed-blowback semi-automatic, which Savage designed to cycle the magnum rimfire case safely and consistently.
• The barrel is 22 inches in a heavy varmint contour with straight fluting and a high-luster finish, adding rigidity and shedding heat.
• Rifling is a 1:16-inch twist.
• Capacity is 10 rounds in a rotary magazine, and one magazine is included.
• The stock is a black Boyds Pro Varmint in hardwood, an ergonomic shape that steadies a heavy barrel.
• A one-piece Picatinny rail comes on the rifle for mounting a scope without hunting for bases.
• The user-adjustable AccuTrigger ranges from 2.5 to 6 pounds, so the pull weight can be set to taste.
• Overall length is 41.5 inches, a good size for shooting off a bench or bipod.
• Weight is 7.21 pounds, which keeps the rifle steady on a rest.
