Here at the shop, a lot of folks come in looking for a left-handed rimfire that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. The Savage B22 Magnum F LH 22 WMR 21″ 10rd is exactly that — a dedicated left-hand bolt-action .22 WMR built for shooters who need a reliable, accurate rifle without the custom-gun price tag. It’s a solid choice for varmint control, plinking, or just ringing steel out back.

Key Features
- Left-Hand Bolt & Stock — This isn’t a righty gun with a lefty bolt slapped on. The stock is molded for a left-handed cheek weld, and the bolt handle is on the correct side. Why it matters: You won’t be fighting the stock or fumbling with the bolt between shots.
- AccuTrigger — Savage’s adjustable trigger lets you dial the pull weight from about 2.5 to 6 pounds without any tools. Why it matters: A crisp, clean break makes it easier to shoot tight groups, especially with a magnum rimfire that can be snappy.
- 21″ Button-Rifled Barrel — The carbon steel barrel is button-rifled for consistent spin and accuracy. Why it matters: .22 WMR benefits from a longer barrel to get the most out of the powder charge, and button rifling keeps those little bullets flying straight.
- 10+1 Detachable Magazine — The rotary-style magazine feeds reliably and holds ten rounds plus one in the chamber. Why it matters: More time shooting, less time loading — and the rotary design is less prone to spring fatigue than box mags.
- Drilled & Tapped Receiver — The receiver comes pre-drilled and tapped for scope bases (not included). Why it matters: You can mount optics right out of the box without sending it to a gunsmith.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for left-handed shooters who want a dedicated .22 WMR bolt gun — not a converted right-hander. It’s great for new shooters learning on a magnum rimfire, for hunters who need a lightweight varmint rifle, and for anyone who prefers the feel of a left-hand action. The synthetic stock and matte finish mean it’ll hold up to field use without crying about a little rain.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: True left-hand design with proper stock geometry — no cheek-slap from a right-handed comb.
- Pro: AccuTrigger is adjustable and user-friendly, giving you a clean pull right from the factory.
- Pro: Price point is hard to beat for a left-hand magnum rimfire with a 21” barrel.
- Con: The synthetic stock feels a bit hollow compared to a wood or laminate stock — it works fine, but it’s not fancy. Some shooters swap it out for an aftermarket chassis later.
- Con: .22 WMR ammo costs more than .22 LR, so this isn’t a cheap plinker for high-volume range days.

|---|---|---|---|
| Action | Left-hand bolt | Left-hand option available | Right-hand only (LH not standard) |

The Ruger American Rimfire offers a left-hand option but with a shorter barrel and a higher price. The CZ 457 is a beautiful rifle but doesn’t come standard in left-hand, and it’s nearly double the cost. For lefties on a budget, the Savage B22 Magnum F LH hits the sweet spot.
FAQ
Does this rifle come with scope rings or bases?
No, rings and bases are not included. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Savage’s proprietary scope base pattern — you’ll need to pick up a set of bases and rings separately. We carry several options in-store.
Is the AccuTrigger safe for a beginner?
Yes. The AccuTrigger has a built-in safety blade that prevents the trigger from moving unless your finger is on it. Even at the lightest setting (around 2.5 lbs), it’s a safe design for new shooters as long as they follow basic gun safety rules.
Can I use .22 LR in this rifle?
No. The B22 Magnum F LH is chambered only for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR). The chamber and magazine are sized for the longer, larger-diameter WMR cartridge. Using .22 LR could cause dangerous pressure issues.
What is the twist rate of the barrel?
Per Savage Arms specs, the twist rate is 1:16”. That’s standard for .22 WMR and works well with 30- to 50-grain bullets commonly available in the caliber.
