Savage Arms Rascal .22 LR 16.125" 1-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Savage Arms Rascal .22 LR 16.125" 1-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle is a precision-engineered small-caliber platform designed for shooters who demand accuracy and reliability in a lightweight, compact format. Purpose-built for training, small-game hunting, and marksmanship development, this rifle delivers the ballistic consistency of the .22 Long Rifle cartridge in a rifle that weighs just 5.25 pounds—making it ideal for extended field use without fatigue. The threaded barrel design opens tactical flexibility, allowing integration of sound suppressors or other muzzle devices for versatile deployment scenarios.

Built on Savage's proven receiver geometry and single-round feeding system, the Rascal .22 LR delivers predictable lock-up and minimal vibration during discharge—critical factors in precision shooting disciplines. The 16.125-inch barrel is optimized for .22 Long Rifle ballistics, providing consistent velocity while maintaining a compact sight radius suitable for iron sights or rail-mounted optics. The threaded barrel (standard industry pitch for .22 LR suppressors) allows direct integration of noise reduction or velocity-tuning devices without requiring aftermarket adapters. This rifle's streamlined profile and single-round magazine capacity emphasize deliberate shot placement over volume of fire—a training methodology favored in law enforcement and civilian marksmanship programs.

This platform excels for competitive rimfire shooters, firearms instructors building student curricula, and operators seeking a low-recoil platform for youth or adaptive training. The lightweight construction and threaded barrel make it compatible with standard .22 LR sound suppressors, enabling discreet training in noise-sensitive environments. Installation of optics or suppressor assemblies requires only standard gunsmithing tools; the receiver accepts Picatinny rail systems for modern aiming devices. Law enforcement academies and civilian range facilities frequently specify the Rascal .22 LR for fundamental marksmanship certification due to its reliability, minimal maintenance demands, and ammunition economy.
