The Savage Arms MARK I-GY 22 LR rimfire rifle is a straightforward, reliable single-shot .22 built for shooters who value simplicity and accuracy. Whether you're introducing a young shooter to firearms, honing marksmanship fundamentals, or putting meat on the table with a time-tested .22 LR cartridge, this bolt-action rifle delivers the kind of no-nonsense performance Savage has built its reputation on. At just 5 pounds and 37 inches overall, it's a natural fit for smaller frames and younger hunters, yet the 19-inch barrel still generates the velocity and downrange performance the .22 rimfire is known for.

The MARK I-GY starts with a straightforward bolt-action mechanism—durable, easy to maintain, and inherently safe. The single-shot design means deliberate trigger control and attention to each round, which is exactly what competitive shooters and hunting purists appreciate. The satin blued finish on the barrel and receiver balances practical corrosion resistance with classic rifle aesthetics, while the high-luster wood stock provides a warm, traditional feel. The 1:16 twist rate is optimized to stabilize standard .22 LR ammunition, so you won't have to hunt for specialty loads.

For new shooters, this rifle teaches the fundamentals without flinch or intimidation; for seasoned hunters, it's a proven tool for small game and pest control. The compact overall length and light weight make it easy to pack on youth hunts or backcountry trips where a .22 rimfire makes sense.
