Savage A22 Takedown 22LR Semi-Automatic Rifle - Model 47260 Synthetic Stock

The Savage A22 Takedown is a semi-automatic 22 LR rifle built for hunters, shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts who value portability without sacrificing usability. Its twist-apart takedown design lets you break it down in seconds for easy packing into a backpack, vehicle, or boat—making it an ideal companion for backcountry hunting trips, camping expeditions, range days, or any adventure where weight and pack space matter. The rifle reassembles just as quickly, so you're never fumbling in the field when you need to get it into action.

Built on a proven semi-automatic rimfire action, the A22 pairs a compact 18-inch carbon steel barrel (threaded 1/2-28) with Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger, tunable from 3 to 5 pounds to suit your preference. The synthetic stock is purpose-engineered for backcountry use: a dedicated magazine compartment built into the cheek riser keeps spares within reach, while dry storage in the pistol grip safeguards small essentials like ammunition, maps, or survival gear. Low-profile iron sights come standard, and the integral 0 MOA Picatinny rail (with iron sight channel) accepts optics or accessories without removing the sights—a practical setup for shooters who want flexibility without compromising backup aiming options.

The A22 feeds from a single-stack 10-round rotary magazine, minimizing feed issues and keeping the rifle's profile trim. At 6.3 pounds and just under 37 inches long, it's genuinely packable; the 13.5-inch length of pull fits most shooters comfortably. Tang safety, right-hand ejection, and a right-hand bolt are standard. The matte synthetic stock shrugs off weather and rough handling, while the matte black barrel finish resists glare. Whether you're zeroing a new optic, taking prairie dogs, or simply enjoying precision rimfire shooting in remote backcountry, the A22 Takedown delivers Savage's AccuTrigger reliability and rugged simplicity in a rifle that actually goes where you go.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the A22 Takedown easier to pack than other rimfire rifles?

The twist-apart takedown mechanism lets you separate the barrel from the receiver in moments without tools, reducing overall length and making the rifle compact enough to secure in a backpack or lay flat in a canoe or ATV. This design is purpose-built for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who need their rifle to travel light and tight.

Can I add a suppressor or other muzzle device to this rifle?

Yes. The 18-inch barrel is threaded 1/2-28, the standard thread pitch for 22 LR suppressors and muzzle devices, so you can easily mount a suppressor, muzzle brake, or other accessory.

What's included in the buttstock, and why does it matter?

The synthetic stock features a magazine compartment in the cheek riser (for spare 10-round magazines) and a separate dry-storage cavity in the pistol grip. These compartments let you carry ammunition, survival essentials, or small tools without adding bulk, keeping everything within reach and protected from weather.

Is an optic included, or do I need to buy one separately?

No optic is included. The rifle comes with low-profile iron sights as standard. The integral 0 MOA Picatinny rail accepts any standard Picatinny-mount optic—and the rail's iron sight channel means you can keep the sights in place even with a scope mounted, preserving backup aiming capability.
