Savage Arms A22 FVSR Overwatch 16.5" 22 Long Rifle Semi Auto Rifle - Blue/Black, 16.5" Barrel, 10+1 Rounds, Synthetic, Mossy Oak Stock

My son's first rifle. He Loves it. Added a scope and was really fun zeroing in. Magazine is different than I am used to but seems reliable. No issues after many times in the woods.

The A22 seems to be Savage's direct attempt to compete with the Ruger 10/22. I do not think the following for the 10/22 is going away any time soon, that being said the A22 seems to be a solid rifle. The rifle's action seems smooth, and the trigger (the Accutrigger from Savage line of center fire rifles) is a vast improvement over the Savage model 64. It does use the same rotary magazine as 10/22, so there are tons of aftermarket magazines available. Just like with the 10/22 and the Winchester Wildcat, some magazine work better than other with different models and sub models of the same rifle. The only to be sure how a magazine will work in your rifle is to try it out. The included picatinny rail on the Overwatch version is a nice extra, however the while the barrel is thread for a muzzle device the barrel itself is not the .800 inch outer diameter like on many of the other Savage rimfire models. This outer diameter is .700 inches, which makes it a bit hard to find a muzzle brake that gives that nice flush fit. I did immediately change out the polymer stock for a laminated one and it looks nice. I have not made it out to the range to test it accuracy yet, but if it performs like other Savage rimfire I own I am confident that will not be an issue. I did pair it with a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x rimfire scope. I hope this is help to anyone shopping for a new rimfire rifle.

Purchased as another future gift for our youngest grand daughter. The looks, appeal and price at Buds was too good to pass up. Thanks John Podgurski

Great gun. I shot it and it went bang. Works perfect

shoots great I added a muzzle break -25 round mag-bipod-and a top line NC star 4x16x50 scope only thing is the trigger pull weight will not go as low as i would like no big deal its still ok looks and feels fantastic would recommend it

very accurate. trigger not as crisp as I hoped, but satisfied with the rifle

Great gun. Purchased for a 22 walk and shoot. Light weight and works great right out of the box. Worked great with a red dot as well as a scope

I purchased this for a lighter weight squirrel gun. I have been using a heavy barrel 10/22 for the last 5 years or so. I have savage A17 that shoots great so I figured I would give this A22 a try and it did not disappoint me. I mounted a 3-9x40 Kahles scope on it and bore sighted. I setup a target at 50 yards. The first 2 shots out of the cleaned barrel shot 3 inches low and right of my aim point. I did a quick adjustment to get closer and fired the remaining 8 rounds in the mag and I was really impressed when I walked down to look and I could cover the remaining shots with a quarter. I then made a adjustment to zero the scope then fired 2 groups of 5 shots at the 50 yards and a nickel cover both of the groups and I called it good at this time and have had no issues with it and have been hunting several times with it now.
