The Savage A22 Timber Thumbhole Rifle .22 LR 10rd is a semi-automatic rimfire built for steady, accurate shooting right out of the box. It pairs a classic thumbhole wood stock with Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger and a threaded barrel, giving you a stable platform for targets, plinking, or small-game hunting. The 10-round rotary magazine feeds reliably, and the 20 MOA Picatinny rail makes scope mounting straightforward. This is a no-nonsense .22 that feels good in the hands and shoots even better.

Key Features
- AccuTrigger — Lets you adjust trigger pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without tools. This gives you a crisp, consistent break that helps shrink groups.
- Thumbhole Wood Stock — The ergonomic design positions your hand naturally for a more stable hold. It reduces fatigue during long range sessions and improves shot-to-shot consistency.
- Threaded Barrel — Factory-threaded 1/2×28 allows you to attach a suppressor or muzzle brake. That means quieter shooting and less felt recoil for faster follow-up shots.
- 20 MOA Picatinny Rail — Pre-installed rail gives you extra elevation adjustment for long-range rimfire shooting. No need to buy aftermarket bases.
- 10-Round Rotary Magazine — Smooth, reliable feeding in a compact package. The rotary design prevents rim-lock common with staggered .22 magazines.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for anyone who wants a dependable semi-auto .22 for target practice, plinking, or small-game hunting. It fits newer shooters learning fundamentals, experienced shooters who appreciate a good trigger, and hunters who want a quiet, accurate rimfire with suppressor capability.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent factory trigger, comfortable thumbhole stock, threaded barrel included, easy scope mounting, reliable rotary magazine.
- Cons: The stock finish can show wear with heavy use — it’s a satin lacquer, not a hard poly coat. If you hunt in wet conditions, you may want to apply a light wax.
