Detailed Features 

The carbon steel barrel is blued for corrosion resistance. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so mounting a scope is straightforward without gunsmithing. At 5.60 lbs, the rifle carries comfortably through a full day in the field. The AccuTrigger lets shooters dial in pull weight to their preference, which pays off most visibly on small targets at distance. 
 

Usage 

The A22 works well for competitive rimfire target shooting where trigger quality matters, casual small game hunting (.22 LR is effective on rabbits and squirrels), and range plinking. The semi-automatic action allows fast follow-up shots without cycling by hand.

Owners of the Savage A22 AccuTrigger .22LR tend to be satisfied, with a few recurring criticisms worth knowing about.

Accuracy gets the most praise. The AccuTrigger is the consistent highlight. Shooters report tight groupings and appreciate being able to set the pull weight to their liking. The blued wood finish draws positive comments for its traditional look, and the build feels solid rather than budget-grade.

New shooters find the semi-automatic action easy to get used to, since follow-up shots don't require any manual cycling. Reliability is generally good, though a handful of users mention occasional jams or misfires with certain .22LR brands. The rifle can be picky about ammo.

Weight comes up occasionally. At 5.60 lbs it's not heavy, but those specifically looking for a lightweight carry rifle may want to check alternatives. Owners who want more from the platform discuss optics and aftermarket parts fairly often.

The price-to-performance ratio is a common talking point. Most users feel the A22 punches above its price, particularly given the AccuTrigger, which is normally associated with Savage's centerfire line.
