The Quick Catch Savage Arms is giving the classic lever-action a serious tactical overhaul with the new Revel Tactical. If you love traditional iron-action handling but want modern modular furniture and suppressor-ready performance, this rimfire is worth a close look.
The Summary Expanding on its popular Revel rimfire lever-action line, Savage Arms has introduced the Revel Tactical for 2026. Available in .22 LR, .17 HMR, and .22 WMR, the new model bridges old-school mechanics with modern platform upgrades. It features an aluminum-covered steel receiver, an under-barrel tubular magazine, and a handy takedown design that separates into two halves via two captive push pins. What sets the Tactical apart is its MDT-designed polymer furniture, boasting an adjustable skeletonized buttstock, enhanced grip texturing, and M-LOK attachment points on the fore-end. Outfitted with a threaded 18-inch barrel (1/2x28 TPI) ready for cans and a pre-installed 0-MOA Picatinny rail alongside adjustable iron sights, the Tactical carries an MSRP starting at $629.
The Pyr Take There’s something inherently satisfying about running a lever-action rifle—the rhythm of the stroke and the classic handling just feel right in your hands. But let’s be honest: modern shooters want gear that can do more than just sit in a traditional wooden stock. By partnering with MDT to bring modular polymer furniture, M-LOK slots, and factory-threaded muzzles to a rimfire lever gun, Savage has built a practical, fun-as-hell platform for the back forty or the range. Slapping a micro red dot and a rimfire suppressor onto a package like this turns a classic farm gun into a modern, whisper-quiet plinker.
Whether you're teaching the next generation proper trigger control, clearing out pests around the property, or just burning through bricks of .22 LR on a Saturday afternoon, gear that blends modern utility with traditional shooting mechanics always finds a welcome spot in the rack. It’s rugged, versatile, and built for the way modern sportsmen actually shoot.
I, for one, can't wait to add one of these to the gun safe. The only question is what caliber should I? I already have a supressed Ruger 10/22 and a Savage bolt action .17HMR. Maybe that means its time for a .22 WMR? Let me know what your thoughts are in the comments!
