If you’re looking for a savage mark ii minimalist 22 lr 18in threaded green laminate that pulls double duty as a range plinker and a lightweight field rifle, this one delivers. Savage paired their proven bolt-action rimfire platform with a Boyd’s Minimalist stock in green laminate to cut weight without losing that traditional look. The 18-inch carbon-steel barrel is threaded (1/2×28 TPI) and comes with a cap, so you can run a suppressor or brake right out of the box. It’s accurate, light, and ready for optics with the included Weaver bases.

Key Features
- AccuTrigger System – User-adjustable trigger lets you dial in pull weight from 2.5 to 5.5 pounds. Why it matters: you get a crisp break without a gunsmith visit, which means tighter groups right from the bench.
- Threaded Muzzle (1/2×28 TPI) – Factory-threaded barrel with a protective cap. Why it matters: run a suppressor for quiet squirrel hunting or a compensator to tame recoil—no smith work needed.
- Boyd’s Minimalist Laminate Stock – Green laminate with a slim, contoured forend and raised comb. Why it matters: saves weight for carry but still gives you a solid cheek weld and weather-resistant durability.
- Weaver-Style Bases Included – Two-piece steel bases pre-installed. Why it matters: mount your preferred rings and scope fast, no extra parts to buy.
- 18-Inch Carbon-Steel Barrel – Medium-contour barrel with a blued finish. Why it matters: balances maneuverability with accuracy, and the steel holds up to thousands of rounds.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the recreational shooter who wants one .22 that does it all—plinking cans, punching paper, or walking the woods for small game. First-time buyers will appreciate the simple bolt action and forgiving ammo cost. If you’re after a lightweight suppressor host that doesn’t break the bank, this fits the bill.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Adjustable AccuTrigger outshines most factory rimfire triggers. Threaded barrel opens up suppressor use. Laminate stock resists warping better than budget synthetics. Comes with bases for optics. Weighs under 6 pounds for easy carry.
Cons: The stock’s slim forend can feel a bit narrow if you have large hands, and the blued barrel needs occasional oiling in humid climates—not a dealbreaker, just honest maintenance.
