Savage Arms has unveiled the RXR22, a .22LR semi-automatic rifle designed for versatility and customization. The RXR22 is suitable for everything from plinking and target shooting to small-game hunting and should be a hit among American hunters

“The new RXR is built for shooters who demand more than just accuracy. They want a platform that adapts to their style, discipline and ambition,” said RJ Contorno, Savage Arms Senior Product Manager. “This rifle offers unmatched versatility and customization straight out of the box. Whether you're dialing in for competition or building your ideal training rig, this is the rimfire that grows with you.”

The RXR22 features a blowback semi-automatic operation and a polymer receiver with an integrated Picatinny top rail. Its 16.5-inch precision button-rifled barrel includes a recessed target crown and a threaded muzzle (1/2x28 TPI) for suppressor attachment. The rifle comes equipped with a 10-round rotary magazine that offers a last-round bolt hold-open feature.

The RXR22 is compatible with aftermarket Ruger 10/22 magazines, triggers and barrels, allowing for extensive customization. It also includes a quick-release trigger group, metal sling studs and a Picatinny accessory rail under the fore-end tip. The synthetic stock features a vertical pistol grip with interchangeable grip inserts for personalized ergonomics. A cleaning port is located at the rear of the receiver, facilitating easy maintenance.

The RXR22 is perfect for seasoned shooters seeking a modern edge, but will even appeal to those new to rimfire, as the rifle promises rugged reliability, low-cost shooting and incredible versatility all in one affordable platform.
