Who This Is For
The Savage A22 Magnum is an excellent choice for small game hunters, varmint shooters, and ranch hands who need a fast, reliable rimfire rifle with more energy than a standard .22 LR. It's equally well-suited for newer shooters looking to step up in caliber without taking on the recoil or cost of a centerfire rifle. Whether you're targeting ground squirrels at 100 yards or walking fence lines for predators, this rifle gives you the speed and power to get the job done efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the .22 Magnum compare to .22 LR for hunting use?
The .22 WMR (22 Magnum) offers significantly more muzzle velocity and energy than standard .22 LR — typically around 1,900 fps with a 40-grain projectile compared to roughly 1,200 fps for .22 LR. This makes the A22 Magnum a better option for varmints, small predators, and small game at distances beyond 75 yards, where the extra velocity and flatter trajectory make clean, humane shots much more achievable.
Can I use aftermarket magazines with the Savage A22 Magnum?
The Savage A22 Magnum uses a proprietary 10-round rotary magazine that is specific to this model and caliber. While aftermarket options from some manufacturers exist, Savage's own replacement rotary magazines are recommended for the most reliable feeding performance. Always verify compatibility before purchasing third-party magazines to avoid feeding issues.
Is this rifle compatible with a scope or optics rail?
Yes. The Savage A22 Magnum features a drilled and tapped receiver that accepts standard Weaver-style scope bases, making it straightforward to mount a rimfire scope or red dot sight. Adding a quality optic is highly recommended if you plan to take advantage of the .22 Magnum's longer effective range, as open sights can limit precision at distances beyond 50 yards.
