The Savage Arms 13841 Rascal FLV-SR Youth .22 LR 1rd 16.12″ Matte Blued Heavy Barrel, Matte Blued Carbon Steel Receiver, Black Synthetic Stock, Left Hand is a single-shot bolt-action rifle built to get a young shooter on target fast. Chambered in .22 LR, it pairs a 16.125-inch carbon steel heavy barrel with Savage’s AccuTrigger to deliver first-shot accuracy that punches well above its price point. The matte blued finish cuts glare, the synthetic stock keeps weight manageable, and the left-hand configuration means southpaw kids don’t have to fight a right-eject action. At $183.43, this is a no-nonsense trainer that rewards fundamentals—not flash.

Key Features
- AccuTrigger: Adjustable trigger pull down to 2.5 lbs gives a clean, creep-free break—critical for teaching sight alignment and follow-through without flinching.
- 16.125-inch Heavy Barrel: The extra mass soaks up heat and vibration, keeping groups tight round after round at the range or in a youth competition.
- Threaded Muzzle (1/2×28): Ready for a suppressor or brake out of the box—quieter shooting means less noise-induced flinch in new shooters.
- Left-Hand Bolt and Ejection: Ambidextrous stock, but the bolt handle and ejection port are reversed so lefties run it without reaching over the action.
- Single-Shot Design: Forces the shooter to make every round count, reinforcing proper loading, aiming, and follow-through habits.
Who It’s For
This Savage Rascal FLV-SR is built for the youth shooter who’s left-handed and needs a rifle that fits—not one they have to adapt to. Perfect for a child’s first .22, a junior club shooter stepping into NRA Smallbore, or a grandparent teaching marksmanship basics. The 4-pound weight and short length of pull (12.5 inches) mean it handles like a real rifle, not a toy. If you’re a left-handed adult looking for a compact trainer, this works for that too.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: AccuTrigger at this price point is a steal—most youth rifles ship with gritty, heavy triggers that sabotage accuracy.
- Pro: Threaded barrel opens up suppressor use, which is huge for keeping young ears safe without bulky muffs.
- Pro: Left-hand configuration is rare in entry-level rifles; Savage didn’t just slap a lefty stock on a right-eject action.
- Con: The stock is a bit slick—some shooters add grip tape or a cheek pad for a more secure hold in wet conditions.

FAQ
Is this rifle actually left-handed or just a left-hand stock?
It’s a true left-hand action. The bolt handle is on the left side, the ejection port is on the left, and the magazine (single-shot) loads from the left. The stock is ambidextrous, but the metalwork is reversed for left-handed shooters.
What is the barrel twist rate?
Per Savage Arms specs, the 16.125-inch barrel has a 1:16 twist rate. This stabilizes standard velocity .22 LR rounds well, which is what you’ll use for training and competition.
Can I mount a scope on this rifle?
Yes—the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases (Savage part numbers 80200 and 80201). The included iron sights are adequate for learning, but a low-magnification scope (2-7x) helps young shooters see their hits clearly.
What is the overall length of this rifle?
Overall length is 34.5 inches, with a 12.5-inch length of pull. That’s compact enough for a 7- to 12-year-old to shoulder comfortably, but still long enough for an adult to shoot prone or from a bench.
Does the threaded barrel come with a muzzle brake?
No—the muzzle is bare threaded (1/2×28) with a thread protector installed. You can add a brake, suppressor, or flash hider. Many shooters run a suppressor to reduce recoil and noise for youth shooters.
