Accessories The Shooting Store Dealers (Cheshire 07/00000001632) A22 MAGNUM. Once off, the bolt has to be angled upwards to clear the action and, if you have a low mounted scope, there might not be enough access to do so, unless you remove it first.For the test, I fitted a Schmidt & Bender Zenith 3-12x50 first focal plane (FFP) scope in 30mm rings. Length of pull is 13.75” and the inlet is well cut and holds the action securely. Up front went a SAK Model 2 moderator; although muzzle-mounted, it’s reasonably compact, although wider than most and suited the rifles lines nicely.I went a bit over board on ammunition, as I found some Eley fodder that I had been given some time ago and added it to my eclectic mix as follows: Eley’s Contact 42-grain Sub-Sonic semi-auto, Force High Velocity 42-grain semi-auto, Sub-sonic Hollow 38-grain and High Velocity Hollow 38-grain, Hornady 40-grain lead round nose and copper plated 40-grain hollow point Varmint Express, Remington 38-grain sub-sonic HP, Norma Sub-sonic-22 40-grain HP, RWS HP 40-grain sub-sonic, Winchester sub-sonic 42-grain MAX HP and finally MagTech 40-grain sub HP. As standard, guns come threaded ½ x 20 UNF, complete with a steel protector.The TH stock is in grey/black laminate and is made by Boyd’s and really looks the part and is by far the icing on the cake, cosmetically and practically. Combine the power of the 22 WMR cartridge with the speed of Savage's exclusive delayed blowback semi-automatic action. The design has moved on a little bit since its inception, with the ability to now adjust it externally, rather than having to remove the action from the stock. QD sling studs are fitted; two up front and one at the rear.There are a couple of build anomalies compared to other semi-auto 22 sporters. So, I was surprised when yet another A22 turned up a few weeks ago, unsolicited.When I saw the package, I thought: “Oh no, they’ve sent me a rifle I’ve already tested”. It features a hard chrome bolt, case-hardened receiver, 10-round rotary magazine and button-rifled barrel.

I like this layout and it doesn’t disappoint; with its large pistol grip and generous cut out, it offers a good hand position. However, and much to my delight, what came out of the box was undeniably an A22, but in a rather nice grey/black laminate TH stock and mid-weight 16” barrel. Just hold the bolt fully open, push up the catch, hold it and release the bolt and it’s locked. Length of pull is 13.75-inches and the inlet is well cut and holds the action securely. They have also added some much-needed curb appeal.Although I was told by the importers that Savage offer a laminate, thumbhole (TH) stock furniture option, all the rifles I have tested to date did not show this more attractive and ergonomic layout. At the rear is a slim rubber recoil pad that locks the butt into the shoulder. It features a hard chrome bolt, case-hardened receiver, 10-round rotary magazine and button-rifled barrel.

First appearing in 2002, it was designed to give the shooter a crisp and creep-free release with an adjustable pull weight from 1.5- to 6lbs that was easily set by the user and, above all, safe. All rifles also had a 22” barrel, acceptable on a 22WMR, but a bit too much on a 22LR. The A22 Magnum offers a 10-round rotary magazine and the game-changing AccuTrigger™, which allows a crisp, clean, adjustable trigger pull. )Diana 340 N-Tec Premium Pro Compact UK Break Action .22 Air Rifle 16" BarrelSurefire X300® Ultra LED Handgun or Long Gun Weapon Light Instead, being either a basic polymer Sporter-style, or wood, with a heavier, McMillan A5/target-like build.
