The Savage Mark II Minimalist 21 Sharp 18 in. Threaded Laminate 10rd is a bolt-action rimfire rifle built for shooters who want a lightweight, accurate platform without the extra weight. Chambered in .21 Sharp, this model combines a button-rifled carbon steel barrel with a Boyd’s Minimalist laminate stock in OD Green for a balanced carry and stable cheek weld. The action features Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger, letting you dial in the trigger break to your preference. A detachable 10-round magazine makes reloads quick, and the threaded barrel comes with a protective cap for mounting a suppressor or muzzle device.

Key Features
- Button-rifled carbon steel barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: This precision-rifled barrel delivers consistent accuracy shot after shot, even with budget-friendly .21 Sharp ammo.
- Boyd’s Minimalist laminate stock in OD Green — WHY IT MATTERS: The stock is lightweight yet rigid, providing a stable cheek weld and reducing felt recoil while keeping the rifle easy to carry in the field.
- Savage AccuTrigger — WHY IT MATTERS: You can adjust the trigger pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds without a gunsmith, giving you a crisp, predictable break for tighter groups.
- Threaded barrel with protective cap — WHY IT MATTERS: Threaded 1/2×28 TPI lets you attach a suppressor or brake right out of the box, and the cap protects threads when not in use.
- Detachable 10-round magazine — WHY IT MATTERS: Reloads are fast and simple, with a durable polymer magazine that feeds reliably and stays put during carry.
Who It’s For
This rifle is a solid pick for new shooters, plinkers, and hunters who want a lightweight rimfire for small game or target practice. The adjustable trigger and threaded barrel make it a good choice for folks looking to add a suppressor without hassle. It’s also a great option for families wanting a low-recoil, accurate rifle that’s easy to handle.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at 5.5 lbs, AccuTrigger for custom pull weight, threaded barrel for suppressor use, 10-round magazine for faster follow-ups, Boyd’s stock provides a solid cheek weld.
- Cons: The .21 Sharp chambering means ammo can be harder to find locally compared to .22 LR, and the laminate stock may feel slick in wet conditions without a textured grip.
