Savage B22 Precision Lite 22 LR 18″ Carbon Fiber Chassis
About this product
The Savage B22 Precision Lite 22 LR 18″ Carbon Fiber Chassis is a rimfire bolt gun built for shooters who want precision without the premium price tag. It pairs an 18″ button-rifled barrel wrapped in carbon fiber with an MDT one-piece aluminum chassis, giving you a solid foundation for target work or competitive rimfire matches. The AccuTrigger is adjustable down to a crisp break, and the integrated 20 MOA rail helps you dial in long-range shots right out of the box.

Key Features
- Carbon Fiber Wrapped Barrel – The 18″ button-rifled barrel is wrapped in carbon fiber to reduce weight and dissipate heat faster. That means you can shoot longer strings without the barrel walking your groups.
- MDT Aluminum Chassis – This isn’t a cheap plastic stock. The MDT one-piece chassis gives you a rigid, repeatable platform with full-length M-LOK slots for adding bipods, bags, or rail sections.
- Adjustable Cheek Riser & Length of Pull – You get a custom fit without a gunsmith. The cheek riser adjusts for proper eye alignment with your scope, and LOP spacers let you dial in the pull length for your build.
- AccuTrigger – Savage’s user-adjustable trigger lets you set pull weight from about 2.5 to 6 pounds. It breaks clean with no creep, making it easier to shoot tight groups.
- Integrated 20 MOA Rail – The rail is machined into the receiver, giving you extra elevation adjustment for long-range rimfire shooting. You can use a standard scope base and still dial out to 200+ yards.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who wants to practice precision marksmanship without burning through expensive centerfire ammo. It’s ideal for NRL22 competitors, backyard target shooters, and anyone building a training rifle that mimics a larger precision platform. The adjustable chassis also makes it a good fit for smaller-framed shooters or younger family members stepping up from a basic .22.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Carbon fiber barrel cuts weight while maintaining stiffness – the 7.8 lb overall weight is easy to carry for a full match day.
- Pro: MDT chassis offers the same ergonomics found on high-end centerfire rifles at a fraction of the cost.
- Con: The factory magazine is a single-stack rotary design that holds 10 rounds. It works fine, but some shooters prefer the faster reload of a detachable box magazine. Aftermarket options are limited.

FAQ
Does the Savage B22 Precision Lite come with a scope rail?
Yes. It has an integrated 20 MOA rail machined directly into the receiver. You can mount a scope using standard 1″ or 30mm rings without needing a separate base.
What magazines does the B22 Precision Lite use?
It uses Savage’s 10-round rotary magazine, which is model-specific. The mag is flush-fit with the chassis and feeds reliably with standard and high-velocity .22 LR ammo.
Can I adjust the trigger pull weight on this rifle?
Yes. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from roughly 2.5 to 6 pounds. You don’t need any special tools – just use the included adjustment key to dial it down to your preferred break weight.
Is the carbon fiber barrel worth the extra cost?
For a precision .22, yes. The carbon fiber wrap reduces barrel weight by about 30% compared to a steel bull barrel of the same profile, and it helps maintain accuracy during longer shooting sessions because it dissipates heat faster.
Is this rifle suitable for NRL22 competition?
Absolutely. The adjustable chassis, 20 MOA rail, and M-LOK forend make it a strong contender in the Base class. Many shooters use it as a dedicated match rifle right out of the box.
