Savage’s Rascal Minimalist Brings Style to Micro Rimfires
Savage Arms has taken its introductory rimfire in another bold direction. The new Rascal Minimalist mirrors the stylish lines and laminate stock of its bigger brother, Minimalist, yet retains the features and compact sizing of the Rascal a favorite firearm for teaching kids marksmanship and safety skills.
Savage’s Rascal is built on the micro rimfire action. Like the rest of the Rascal family, Rascal Minimalist is a single-shot rifle that cocks by lifting the bolt. It unloads just as easily – without the need to pull the trigger. The design builds shooting skills thanks to full-size rifle features, including Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger system and a threaded (1/2-28) barrel.
These new Rascals will start shipping this August.
