Savage Arms continues to expand its A22 semi-automatic rifle lineup, and the first new-for-2020 rifle is the company's BNS-SR. The new offering features the proven, dependable Savage A22 action set inside of an attractive, wood-laminate stock that provides an enhanced look and feel to the gun that's still impervious to the elements.

Each Savage Arms A22 BNS-SR is constructed with a button-rifled, carbon-steel barrel that's optimized to produce accuracy and consistency from shot to shot. The .22-Long-Rifle-chambered firearm features a straight-blowback action and feeds from the company's reliable, 10-round rotary magazine.

The barrel measures 18" long and features a 1:16" rate of twist designed to stabilize today's most popular .22 LR projectiles. The muzzle is threaded with a 1/2-28 TPI thread pitch that's compatible with most .22-caliber muzzle devices and sound suppressors on the market.

Other features found in the Savage Arms A22 BNS-SR include the company's popular AccuTrigger, which can be adjusted by the user to optimize trigger-pull weight. The rifle also ships with a two-piece, Weaver-style optics base, allowing owners to mount their Weaver-compatible optic of choice.

Each Savage Arms A22 BNS-SR measures 37" in overall length and features a length-of-pull of 13.6". Unloaded, the rifle weighs in at 6.6 lbs., and the suggested retail price on the new gun is $479. In addition, Savage Arms also expanded its lineup of bolt-action B Series rimfire rifles for 2020, and a similarly stocked BNS-SR model B Series .22 Long Rifle option is also available.

President’s Column | President Meets President

I am quite certain, that for the first time in NRA history the President of the United States met with the NRA president, the NRA president asked for his support for national Right-to-Carry (NRTC), and then, on a national stage, President Trump called out the NRA president’s name and pledged his support for national Right-to-Carry legislation. But that’s exactly what happened at a rally near Allentown, Pa., in late June.
