Savage's Mark II F is a bolt-action .22 LR with a 20.75-inch blued barrel, a black synthetic stock and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. It feeds from a detachable ten-round magazine for 10+1, weighs 5 pounds, measures 39.5 inches overall and carries standard open sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so a scope goes on with compatible mounts, and a manual thumb safety handles the lockwork.

This is the rimfire a North Carolina shooter keeps for small game, paper and tin cans: light to carry and economical to feed. The AccuTrigger can be set to a pull the shooter likes, which matters for teaching precision, and the ten-round magazine means less time reloading on the bench. With a scope on the tapped receiver it stretches into a longer-range plinker; with the open sights it is a straightforward walking rifle for a morning in the woods.
