First Look: Savage Arms Revel Rimfire Lever-Actions
Savage Arms has just announced the Revel series of rimfire lever-action rifles, featuring two models and three chambering options.
The lever-action rifle trend we’re currently living through is still going strong, and Savage Arms has just added fuel to the fire with its new Revel series of rimfire rifles. The two models, the Revel Classic and the Revel DLX, will each be available in three different chambering options (.22 LR, .22 WMR and .17 HMR), but only the Revel Classic in .22 LR is currently available. Savage says that the other five variants will begin shipping in the Spring of 2025.
Both The Revel Classic and the Revel DLX have a 12-round magazine capacity in .22 LR and a 9-round capacity in .17 HMR and .22 WMR. Both models also feature 18-inch barrels, crossbolt safeties, drilled and tapped receivers and adjustable iron sights. Both rifles are also described as sporting oversized lever loops, but according to Savage Arms’ photos, only the Revel Classic features one. The DLX model’s loop looks to be the normal size by comparison.
Another aspect the Revel Classic and Revel DLX have in common is their ability to be taken down quickly. Pressing out two push pins will allow the stock and lever-action/trigger assembly to be separated from the receiver and barrel. This makes the Revel a great backpack gun option, but the feature is also handy for transport, storage and maintenance. The only things that set the DLX apart from the Revel Classic are its threaded barrel (1/2×28), its rubber butt pad, hooded front sight and its different style of Walnut stock with stippling on the grip.
All chambering options for the Revel Classic have an MSRP of $439 while all DLX models have an MSRP of $539.
