Verdict
The Savage B22 Precision is the second entry on the Ban-Risk Index to score 0/15 — every rubric dimension at zero. Bolt-action, rimfire, no flag features, no prohibited family, no policy momentum. The rifle's place on the Index is as the budget-tier precision-rimfire counterpart to the CZ 457 Varmint MTR (separate entry, Batch 4) — both score the rubric's minimum, both anchor the Canadian rimfire-precision competition scene. The B22 Precision ships from the factory in an MDT chassis system at $999 CAD, putting precision-rimfire chassis ergonomics in reach of new competitors who can't yet justify the $1,400 CZ 457 MTR or the $2,500+ Vudoo V22. The Index keeps the entry because it covers the budget tier of the precision-rimfire category and because, like the CZ 457, it demonstrates what the rubric's lowest reading looks like for a current-production platform.
