Unlike the Marlin XT-22 pictured opposite this gun, which only dates back to 2012, the Savage Mark II is a rimfire veteran. Working in concert with the longer 22" stainless barrel featuring 16-groove Microgroove rifling, this combination makes the XT-22 an out-of-the-box tack driver. Borrowing a page from the Savage Accu-trigger playbook, the XT-22's "Pro-Fire" trigger is adjustable for a pull of between 3 and 6 pounds, and breaks crisply and cleanly every time. Next up, and perhaps most notably to some, is the XT-22's excellent trigger. However, we will also admit that with some combinations of rifle and magazine, this will take some work either removing the rifle's metal floorplate or grinding slightly on the magazine. So what sort of features are we talking about? Well, first off, the XT-22 has one thing that few, if any, other bolt-action rifles can lay claim to: the ability to feed from the same big, 25-round magazines that it's semi-automatic sibling, the 795 does. Offering many of the keynote features that rimfire shooters look for in a bolt-action rifle, but pairing them with an enviably low price tag, the XT-22 is in many regards the best of both worlds: accurate, and affordable. A relatively new addition to the bolt-action rimfire rifle marketplace, the Marlin XT-22 was only introduced to the world last year, but has already earned plenty of kudos from both customers and critics.
