Savage Arms has introduced two new laminate stock options in bright, two-tone color schemes for their Rascal rimfire rifles.  The new Rascal rifles stocks come in either pink and purple or teal and grey.  The new stocks are based on Savage’s Minimalist concept, which is also featured on several other of their rimfire rifles while retaining the smaller size of the Rascal profile.  According to the product page on Savage Arms’ website, the Minimalist Rascal rifles weigh 3.5 pounds compared to the standard Rascal’s 2.7 pounds.

Savage Arms’ press release follows:

Westfield, Massachusetts – July 30, 2020 – Savage Arms has taken the quintessential introductory rimfire in another bold direction. The new Rascal Minimalist mirrors the stylish lines and laminate stock of its bigger brother, Minimalist, yet retains the features and compact sizing that has made Rascal America’s favorite firearm for teaching kids marksmanship and safety skills.

“The laminate stock and bright color combinations of Rascal Minimalist make this a stylish rifle,” said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing for Savage. “And it demonstrates, again, Savage’s commitment to providing the very best tools to every shooter—even those who are just learning to shoot.”

Savage’s Rascal is built on the industry’s safest micro rimfire action. Like the rest of the Rascal family, Rascal Minimalist is a single-shot rifle that cocks by lifting the bolt. It unloads just as easily – without the need to pull the trigger. The design builds superior shooting skills thanks to full-size rifle features, including Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger™ system and a threaded (1/2-28) barrel.

These new Rascals will start shipping this August. Visit your local Savage dealer and place your order today. Find your local Savage dealer at https://savagearms.com/where.
