The Savage B22 Magnum FVSR is a right-hand bolt-action rimfire in .22 WMR with a 16.25-inch heavy barrel, button rifled on a 1:9 twist and threaded 1/2x28 for a suppressor or muzzle device. It weighs 5.7 pounds, measures 35.5 inches, feeds from a 10-round magazine and has Savage's adjustable AccuTrigger. The black synthetic stock has a vertical pistol grip and textured surfaces, the safety is a top-tang lever, the bolt handle is oversized, and a one-piece Picatinny rail sits on the drilled-and-tapped receiver.

In Illinois this is a varmint rifle and a steady rimfire for the range; it is not a deer gun, since the state's firearm deer rules call for shotguns with slugs, muzzleloaders, qualifying handguns or single-shot centerfire rifles of .30 caliber or larger. The short heavy barrel settles well off a bipod or a bag, the tang safety falls under the thumb from either side, and the threaded muzzle is ready for a suppressor.
