Are you as stoked for fall's hunting seasons as Savage Arms? If you aren't, the company's new A22 and B Series Timber Tactical rifles are sure to do the trick! These precision-engineered rimfire rifles spotlight Savage's obsession with classic design and modern innovation. 

The first thing you'll notice is no doubt the stock, so let's take stock: Both the A22 and B Series rifles wear an attractive and well-engineered OD Green Laminate stock. Designed for durability and ergonomics, the vertical grip facilitates precision shooting and fosters improved control and accuracy. It also features a rear hook that provides an extra layer of stability, which helps shooters to manage the rifle effectively with their off hand. Both lines' stocks are equipped with dual forward sling studs, too.

As for chamberings, the line covers the rimfire gamut. The A22 Model is available in .22 LR, while B Series models are chambered in .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR. The flush-fit 10-round rotary magazines ensure smooth feeding. The 18" heavy profile barrel, featuring deep spiral fluting and a 1/2x28 threaded muzzle, guarantees consistent performance shot after shot.

The optics options are many. The 20 MOA Picatinny rail installed on the A22 and B Series models allows for easy attachment of optics, ensuring that shooters can customize their setup to meet their specific needs. Should you opt for the B Series models, the 1.5-lb. Precision AccuTrigger offers an exceptional shooting experience, providing a crisp and clean trigger pull that enhances accuracy. 

“Our new Timber Tactical rimfire rifles provide unparalleled accuracy and comfort,” said Brett McKenna, Rimfire Product Manager. “Whether you are a seasoned shooter or a newcomer, these rifles provide the precision engineering needed for consistent performance. As we lead Savage into the future, we’re proud to introduce products that honor our heritage while embracing innovation. These new rifles are a perfect example of the excellence in firearms craftsmanship that defines the Savage name.” MSRP for all models is $599; SavageArms.com
