Description
The Savage Rascal Minimalist 22 LR Purple Pink is a compact single-shot bolt-action youth rifle with a 16 1/8-inch threaded carbon steel barrel, a purple and pink laminate Minimalist stock, adjustable peep sights, and an 11.25-inch length of pull sized for smaller shooters. It weighs about 3.5 lbs, so young hands can hold it steady and learn good habits from the very first shot.
Savage Rascal Minimalist 22 LR Purple Pink Overview
Savage built the Rascal to be one of the safest and most accurate first rifles available. It cocks by lifting the bolt, and you can unload it without pulling the trigger, which removes one of the most common ways a new shooter can make a mistake. Full-size rifle features help kids build real marksmanship skills instead of outgrowing a toy-like gun in a single season. The 22 LR is the most popular cartridge in the world for good reason: ammunition is affordable and easy to find, recoil is almost nonexistent, and it is quiet enough for backyard plinking, squirrel hunting, and hours of practice.
Built for Safety
Safety is the first lesson for any new shooter, and this rifle is designed around it. A manual safety is easy to see and operate, and because the rifle holds a single cartridge, every shot is deliberate. An adult can load one round, coach the shot, and then hand over the next round, which keeps range time controlled, calm, and focused on fundamentals.
Barrel and Accuracy
The 16 1/8-inch carbon steel barrel has a matte black finish, a 1:16 twist matched to 22 LR bullets, an 11-degree target crown that protects the rifling for consistent accuracy, and a muzzle threaded 1/2-28 with a protective cap. A feed ramp guides each cartridge smoothly into the chamber.
Adjustable Peep Sights
Adjustable peep sights come installed, so a new shooter learns proper sight alignment before ever looking through a scope. The rear aperture adjusts for windage and elevation, letting you zero the rifle for the ammunition your family shoots most. Learning on aperture sights builds skills that carry over to every rifle a young shooter will use later.
User-Adjustable Trigger
Savage includes its user-adjustable AccuTrigger on this youth rifle, the same trigger system found on its full-size hunting rifles. A light, crisp, predictable pull makes it much easier for a beginner to hold the sights steady through the shot, and the center safety blade helps prevent accidental discharge.
Sized for Young Shooters
The purple and pink laminate stock is a Boyds Minimalist design built with ChevCore laminate technology, giving the rifle modern looks and an ergonomic, skeletonized shape that keeps weight down. Laminate is stiff and resists moisture better than solid wood, and the 11.25-inch length of pull fits kids comfortably.
Care and Cleaning
Rimfire ammunition leaves more fouling than most centerfire loads, so a little routine care keeps the Savage Rascal Minimalist 22 LR Purple Pink running smoothly and shooting accurately. After a range session, wipe down the bolt and chamber area, run a few patches through the bore, and put a light coat of oil on exposed metal. Store the rifle in a dry place and it will give you years of dependable service.
