Savage Mark I FVT 21″ Heavy Barrel Bolt-Action

The Savage Mark I FVT 21" Heavy Barrel Bolt-Action is a single-shot, bolt-action rimfire rifle engineered for controlled, accurate shooting. It pairs a button-rifled heavy barrel with Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger to deliver a crisp, customizable trigger feel. The rifle is paired with a matte black synthetic sporter stock and fitted with adjustable peep sights for precise sighting at a variety of distances.

Key Features

• Button-Rifled Heavy Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The 21-inch heavy/varmint profile barrel reduces vibration and heat buildup, delivering sub-minute-of-angle accuracy at the range. This is the same barrel-making process used on Savage’s centerfire target rifles.
• User-Adjustable AccuTrigger – WHY IT MATTERS: You can dial the trigger pull from 2.5 to 6 pounds without a gunsmith. A crisp, clean break eliminates creep, letting you shoot tighter groups with each single shot.
• Adjustable Peep Sights – WHY IT MATTERS: The rear aperture sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation, and the front post sight is hooded for protection. This setup gives you repeatable sight alignment, even in low light.
• Single-Shot Bolt Action – WHY IT MATTERS: The manual feed forces you to focus on each round, building discipline and consistency. It also allows a longer, more controlled lock time compared to semi-autos.
• Matte Black Synthetic Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: The stock is weather-resistant and features a textured grip panel, so your hold stays secure in rain or humidity. The straight comb design works well with peep sights.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the collector and enthusiast who values precision over speed. It suits the target shooter who wants to fine-tune every shot, the historian who appreciates the lineage of single-shot rimfires, and the competitive marksman shooting in NRA Smallbore or CMP Sporter matches. If you own a vintage Winchester or Remington single-shot, the Mark I FVT is a natural modern counterpart.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Factory-adjustable trigger; heavy barrel for thermal stability; peep sights are match-ready; synthetic stock is durable and lightweight; price under $550.
• Cons: Single-shot action limits rapid follow-up shots; the synthetic stock lacks the warmth of wood; the 21-inch barrel can feel front-heavy for offhand shooting.

Comparison with Competitors

Per Savage Arms specs, the AccuTrigger is the only factory adjustable trigger in its class. The Ruger 10/22 Target offers faster follow-ups with a semi-auto, but its trigger is heavier and less precise. The CZ 457 Varmint has a fine walnut option, but its trigger is not user-adjustable and the rifle costs more.
