Savage Mark II BV .22LR Rifle with Blued Barrel and Laminate Wood Stock - Model 25700

The Savage Mark II BV .22LR rifle is a rugged, no-nonsense rimfire built for shooters who want straightforward reliability without breaking the bank. This bolt-action .22 delivers the accuracy and consistency you'd expect from Savage, paired with a laminate wood stock that shrugs off the abuse of field use—whether you're plinking at the range, training young shooters, or hunting small game. At 5.5 pounds with a 21-inch barrel, it's light enough to carry all day and compact enough (39.75 inches overall) to maneuver in tight spaces.

The satin blued finish on the barrel gives it a classic look while holding up to outdoor use, and the laminate stock resists warping and weather better than standard wood. The 1:16 twist rate is optimized for standard .22LR ammunition, so you don't have to fuss with load selection or wonder if your gun will stabilize what you're feeding it. Five-round capacity keeps things simple and complies with regulations in states that care about that.

This is the rifle for hunters and shooters who appreciate practical design: a bolt action that's fast enough for hunting, accurate enough for serious practice, and tough enough to live in a truck bed or lean against a barn wall. If you're building a rimfire collection or introducing someone to rifle shooting, the Mark II BV earns its place through dependability and honest performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What .22LR ammunition works best in the Mark II BV?

The 1:16 twist is designed for standard .22LR ammunition. Any quality .22LR round—whether high-velocity or subsonic—will stabilize and perform reliably in this barrel.

Is the Mark II BV good for hunting small game?

Yes. The bolt action provides accurate, controlled shots, and the compact 39.75-inch overall length makes it easy to carry and position for hunting rabbits, squirrels, and similar game.

Why choose laminate wood over standard wood?

Laminate stock resists moisture and temperature swings that cause standard wood to warp or swell. It's tougher in the field and more stable for consistent accuracy over time.

Can I use this rifle for training new shooters?

Absolutely. The .22LR is gentle on recoil, the lightweight rifle is easy for younger or smaller shooters to handle, and the simple bolt action teaches proper rifle fundamentals without distraction.
