The Savage B22 Timberlite Thumbhole is a .22 WMR bolt-action rifle with a threaded 18-inch heavy barrel and a wood thumbhole stock in gray with a black spiderweb pattern (Savage part no. 70518). The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 with a cap, so a suppressor or muzzle device can go on. The stock is ambidextrous, thread-in barrel headspacing keeps the fit tight, and the one-piece Weaver base is already on the receiver. A 10-round rotary magazine and the 5.3-pound weight make it a light, sturdy Magnum rimfire.
