Savage Arms has unveiled the A22 and B Series Timber Tactical, an addition to its lineup of precision-engineered rimfire rifles. These models combine classic design with modern innovation, built for shooters who value both high performance and refined craftsmanship.

The A22 and B Series rifles feature OD Green Laminate stocks, designed for durability. The vertical grip enhances precision shooting, allowing for improved control and accuracy through improved finger position. Additionally, the rear hook provides an extra layer of stability, enabling shooters to manage the rifle effectively with their off hand.

Buttstocks

“Our new Timber Tactical rimfire rifles provide unparalleled accuracy and comfort,” said Brett McKenna, Savage's 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.”

Equipped with dual forward sling studs, these rifles are designed for versatility in the field. 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 specific needs. The A22 Model is available in .22 LR, while B Series models are chambered in .22 LR, .22 WMR and .17 HMR.

Spiral Fluted Barrel

In both models, a flush-fit 10-round rotary magazine ensures smooth feeding, while an 18-inch heavy profile barrel, featuring deep spiral fluting and a 1/2x28 TPI threaded muzzle, promises consistent performance. For those opting for the B Series models, a 1.5-pound Precision AccuTrigger offers a crisp and clean trigger pull that enhances accuracy.
