Savage Arms 19779 RXR 22 16.5" 11-Round FDE Rifle

The Savage Arms 19779 RXR .22 LR is a modern compact rimfire rifle engineered for precision shooting, training, and tactical applications where noise and recoil management are operational priorities. This rifle fills a critical niche in law enforcement and military training programs—delivering reliable accuracy for marksmanship development and low-cost field practice without the report signature of centerfire calibers. Built by Savage, a manufacturer with a 130-year legacy in producing match-grade and duty-ready firearms, the RXR platform represents the convergence of ergonomic design and proven reliability.

The 16.5-inch barrel provides velocity optimization for .22 LR ballistics while maintaining a compact overall footprint suitable for confined spaces and tactical drills. The flat dark earth (FDE) finish offers a professional, non-reflective surface that minimizes glint in operational environments and complements modern tactical systems. An 11-round magazine capacity delivers adequate firepower for training cycles and extended range sessions, reducing magazine changes during high-volume practice. The modular design accommodates standard Picatinny rail systems, enabling integration of modern optics, lights, and accessories without compromise to handling characteristics or balance.

Law enforcement firearms instructors, military precision marksmen, and serious sport shooters benefit most from this platform due to its low recoil impulse, minimal muzzle rise, and suppressor-ready threading. The .22 LR chambering makes this rifle ideal for shooters developing trigger control, sight picture management, and fundamentals before transitioning to duty weapons, while the compact profile suits training in vehicles, structures, and close-quarters scenarios. Compatibility with standard .22 LR ammunition—among the most economical centerfire alternatives—maximizes training volume and minimizes ammunition logistics burdens. This rifle pairs seamlessly with red dot optics, magnified scopes, and modern sling systems for professional-grade tactical preparation.
