Savage Arms has introduced their latest innovation in rimfire shooting with the launch of the A22 and B Series Timber Tactical rifles, combining tactical functionality with reliable precision shooting capabilities.

Advanced Stock Design for Field Performance
The centerpiece of these new rifles is their distinctive OD Green Laminate stock construction, engineered to deliver exceptional durability in challenging environmental conditions while preserving the classic shooting experience. The stock incorporates several tactical enhancements, including an integrated vertical grip that provides superior handling control during target engagement and a strategically positioned rear hook that offers additional shooting stability.
For field deployment versatility, Savage has equipped these rifles with dual forward sling studs, giving shooters the flexibility to choose between traditional carrying configurations or modern bipod mounting systems for precision shooting applications.
Caliber Options and Platform Variations
Semi-Automatic A22 Platform
The A22 model operates on a semi-automatic action system and is exclusively chambered in the popular .22 Long Rifle cartridge, making it ideal for rapid-fire applications and training scenarios.

Bolt-Action B Series Options
The B Series platform expands shooting possibilities with three distinct chambering options:
- .22 Long Rifle (.22 LR)
- .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR)
- .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire (.17 HMR)
This variety allows shooters to select the optimal cartridge for their specific applications, from small game hunting to precision target shooting.

Precision Engineering and Performance Features
Optics Integration
Both rifle series come factory-equipped with a 20 MOA Picatinny rail system, providing shooters with enhanced mounting flexibility for various optical configurations tailored to their shooting requirements.
Feeding System and Barrel Specifications
The rifles utilize reliable 10-round rotary magazines that maintain a flush profile for smooth handling and dependable cartridge feeding. Performance is delivered through an 18-inch heavy profile barrel featuring deep spiral fluting for improved heat dissipation and weight reduction. The barrel concludes with a 1/2x28 threaded muzzle, enabling compatibility with suppressors and muzzle devices.
Trigger System Excellence
B Series models feature Savage's renowned 1.5-pound Precision AccuTrigger technology, engineered to provide a consistently crisp and clean trigger break that enhances shooting accuracy and overall performance.
Industry Leadership and Innovation
According to Brett McKenna, Rimfire Product Manager at Savage Arms, "Our new Timber Tactical rimfire rifles provide unparalleled accuracy and comfort. 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."
The introduction of the A22 and B Series Timber Tactical rifles represents Savage Arms' commitment to advancing rimfire technology while maintaining the reliability and accuracy standards that have established their reputation in the firearms industry.
