The A22 Magnum was designed to build upon the success of the Savage Arms A17. Does it live up to the legacy?

Get a closer look at the Savage Arms A22 GV, the latest addition to our #SundayGunday series.

The Savage Arms A17 was a bit of a hit in 2015, and for good reason. It featured a unique, delayed-blowback action that allowed the typically "too hot" .17 HMR cartridge to cycle reliably in a semi-automatic rifle. In the wake of the A17's success, Savage announced the A22 Mag. Now, for 2017, the company is appealing to diehard fans of .22 rimfire with the announcement of the A22 LR.

Opening and connecting with just a quarter-twist and offering an extremely simple breakdown, the new A22 Takedown weighs just 6 pounds, making it an ideal go-anywhere rifle.

Everybody needs a good .22. The Savage Arms A22 .22 LR could be yours.

Lost in the brilliance of the award-winning Savage Arms A17 was the new ammunition developed alongside it by CCI. Now the A17—and its namesake ammunition—have cousins of a sort in the Savage Arms A22 and CCI's A22 Mag.

Building off the success of its A17—winner of our Golden Bullseye Award for Rifle of the Year—the A22 Magnum is, as you might expect, chambered for .22 WMR and features the same delayed-blowback semi-automatic action as the original A17.

Like the A17 from Savage Arms? Then you're going to love the new A22 Magnum.

The A22 Magnum rifle is not fussy, and it dispels any myths that the .22 Mag. is not accurate. It also proves, once again, Savage knows how to build a reliable semi-auto magnum rimfire.
