#SavageA22

Savage Arms has released the A22 TAKEDOWN, which they call a “go-anywhere rimfire rifle“. This is a take-down semi-automatic .22LR rimfire rifle with an 18” carbon steel barrel and low-profile sights. For optics and other attachments, there is also a 0-MOA Picatinny rail with an iron sight channel through it. According to Savage Arms, you only need a simple twist to break down the rifle. The MSRP is set at $479.

A recent trip that the TFB crew took out to Southeast Texas involved a lot of optics. Thanks to a sponsorship by both ATN Corp and Crimson Trace, the TFB crew was able to mount a bunch of different optics, light, and laser options on a variety of rifles and pistols to test out and get the full experience of the lineup of products the two companies had to offer. Most of you here know that I’m very interested in rimfire firearms and products and one item that immediately stood out to me was the Crimson Trace Brushline Pro BDC-Rimfire optic. This tiny 2-7×32 variable power optic didn’t seem too impressive to me at first since I am used to running much larger 56mm objective lens optics but after a couple of days of tinkering around with the optic, I think there is a case to be made for this being used on a large variety of different rimfire firearms if you’re looking for a budget mid-range power rimfire scope.

The Canadian company Modular Driven Technologies continues to push out new chassis systems for our pleasure.

Among a wide variety of aluminum rifle chassis, Drake Associates also makes one for Savage A17 and A22 rimfire rifles. The chassis makes the mentioned rifles to be compatible with AR-15 grips and buffer tubes/stocks as well as provides M-LOK accessory mounting slots on the forearm.
