Savage A Series Target Thumbhole 22 WMR Overview
Savage has built a reputation for accurate, dependable firearms at fair prices, and the A Series Target Thumbhole continues that tradition with practical features that matter in the field and at the range. It is the kind of gun that earns a permanent place in the safe because it simply works, shot after shot, without fuss or expensive upgrades. The 22 WMR, or 22 Magnum, carries noticeably more energy than a 22 LR, extending your reach on foxes, groundhogs, and other small game while keeping recoil and report mild.
Barrel and Action
The 22-inch heavy carbon steel barrel has a high luster finish and a 1:16″ twist matched to 22 WMR bullets. The heavier profile steadies the rifle and resists heat for tight groups from a rest.
Stock and Fit
The gray laminate thumbhole stock is built to handle real-world use, and laminate resists moisture and warping better than solid wood. Length of pull is 13.5″. Overall length is about 41.5″.
Sights and Optics
Scope bases (2 Piece, Weaver Style) come installed, so mounting an optic is quick and simple.
Trigger
Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you set your own pull weight for a crisp, clean break, and the center safety blade helps prevent accidental discharge. A light, predictable trigger makes accurate shooting much easier.
Capacity and Handling
The 10-round detachable magazine loads easily and makes unloading quick and safe. Spare magazines make range days more productive.
In the Field
Rimfire guns often prefer one load over another, so try a few brands of 22 WMR to find the one that groups best in your barrel. Pair it with a quality optic and a steady rest for the best results.
Key Features
Highlights from the factory spec sheet: Gray wood-laminate thumbhole stock; Fluted heavy target barrel; Straight-blowback action; Hard chrome bolt with oversized bolt handle; Case-hardened receiver and button-rifled barrel; 10-round rotary magazine.
Ownership and Value
A quality rimfire is one of the most useful guns a family can own. It teaches fundamentals, controls pests, fills the freezer with small game, and provides endless low-cost practice. Savage rimfires are known for accuracy that punches well above their price, and spare magazines, scope mounts, and accessories are easy to find.
Care and Cleaning
A little routine care keeps the Savage A Series Target Thumbhole 22 WMR running smoothly. After each outing, wipe down exposed metal, clean the bore, keep moving parts lightly lubricated, and store the gun in a dry place.
