Review: Savage A22R Pro Varmint in .22WMR, a lever-release rimfire rifle at a discount

Savage’s lever-release A22R rimfire rifle just didn’t take off in Australia but because of that you can buy it at permanently discounted prices, so if it wasn’t all that appealing then, maybe it should be now. The lever-release system has a lot going for it. Its simplicity is a joy and it is very practical for pest control. At current prices, it’s hard to resist.

My savage A22-R pro varmit in LR is at my local gun shop,$500 00 ! Just waiting for my pta to be sent out next week. Also got a really good scope and rings for it at a discounted price by Bushnell. For well under a grand its a great outfit.

My first rifle, still sitting in the dealership while I wait for my license to go through.

[@Larimuss]

Lol I’m literally thinking of buying this while I wait to get license.

I used one of these today,the trigger is absolutely the worse I have experienced in several decades of shooting.With my cheek pressed to the stock I could actually hear the trigger mechanism grinding as I squeezed off a round.I did not have time to shoot a group,but if the trigger quality is anything to go by,don't expect much.

I have the A17R my only complaint is the mag is difficult to load past 6 rounds. I assume that it will improve over time.

[@Wadaryu1000]

Yeah ok thanks for that. But who is saying we still can't have semi autos back again? Who isn't trusting shooters that have passed all the character and safety tests that prove them to be trusted?

[@RustySprocket]

The standard A22 is superior in every way.

Just buy a semi-auto🤣

Semi auto's require a hard to get, specialist licence in Australia.
