The Savage Mark II BV combines a bull-weight 21-inch barrel with a brown laminate stock — the BV designation standing for Bull barrel Varmint. The heavy barrel tames the minimal recoil of 22 LR to near-zero, allowing precise shot placement on small targets without significant disturbance of the sight picture. The AccuTrigger, introduced to the Mark II line, provides a crisp, adjustable break that puts Savage trigger quality ahead of competitors at this price point. Type: Rifle Action: Bolt-Action Caliber: 22 LR Capacity: 5 Year introduced: 1997, USA Weight: 104 oz Overall length: 39.75" Status: Active Intended use: target, bench, varminting
