Savage Arms RXR22 Semi-Auto Rifle.22 LR 10rd Magazine 16.5'' Threaded Barrel FDE Polymer Stock
The Savage Arms RXR22 semi-auto rifle in .22 LR is a modern, affordable take on the classic rimfire platform—built for shooters who want genuine tactical features without the complexity or price tag of centerfire systems. With its polymer receiver, integral top rail, and threaded 16.5" barrel, the RXR22 gives you a lightweight, customizable .22 that handles everything from backyard plinking and small-game hunting to rimfire training and competition prep. Whether you're introducing a new shooter to semi-automatic rifles or adding a low-cost, high-fun practice gun to your safe, the RXR22 delivers reliable blowback operation in a package that won't drain your ammunition budget.
The standout feature here is adaptability. The RXR22 accepts aftermarket Ruger 10/22–compatible magazines, triggers, and barrels, meaning you're not locked into Savage's parts ecosystem—you can swap in upgrades and accessories from one of the most supported rimfire platforms ever made. The quick-release trigger group, metal sling studs, and front Picatinny rail give you attachment points for lights, grips, bipods, or whatever your shooting style demands. The 10-round rotary magazine feeds reliably and locks open on the last round when you're using RXR22 mags, and the 16.5" precision button-rifled barrel wears a recessed target crown to keep groups tight.
Handling and ergonomics won't slow you down either. The adjustable polymer stock with vertical pistol grip and interchangeable grip inserts lets you dial in a fit that works for your hand size and shooting position. A cleaning port at the rear of the receiver makes field maintenance straightforward. This is a rifle built to shoot, tinker, and shoot again—without pretense.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use standard Ruger 10/22 magazines and parts in the RXR22?
Yes. The RXR22 is designed to accept Ruger 10/22–compatible aftermarket magazines, triggers, and barrels, giving you access to one of the most extensive ecosystems of rimfire upgrades and accessories available. You can also use the included RXR22 magazines, which offer last-round bolt hold open when paired with the rifle.
What comes in the box, and what accessories do I need to shoot it?
The product ships with a 10-round rotary magazine. You'll need to source your own optic (the top Picatinny rail accepts standard scope mounts), and ammunition. A sling and shooting support (bipod, rest, etc.) are optional but pair well with the integrated rails.
Is the RXR22 good for hunting small game?
Yes. With its reliable blowback operation, 16.5" precision button-rifled barrel, and compact, lightweight design, the RXR22 is well-suited to small-game hunting. The adjustable stock and rail system also let you configure it for your preferred hunting setup.
Can I suppress or put a muzzle device on the RXR22?
The barrel is threaded ½×28, the standard thread pitch for .22 LR suppressors and muzzle devices. You can thread on a suppressor, muzzle brake, or other compatible device without additional gunsmithing.
