At SHOT Show 2025 Range Day, Savage Arms showcased their latest lever-action rimfire rifle, the Revel DLX, and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons.
This lever action rifle combines traditional aesthetics with modern upgrades, making it a standout choice for small game hunting, plinking, or just plain fun at the range. Though the Revel DLX we shot at the range today was chambered in 22 LR. it is also available in 22 WMR and 17 HMR
Key Features That Impress
The Revel DLX is more than just another lever-action rifle. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Threaded Barrel: For those who love shooting suppressed, the 1/2-28 threaded muzzle is a welcome addition. It allows for easy attachment of a suppressor, adding versatility to this rifle.
- Walnut Stock with Pistol Grip: The satin-finished contoured walnut stock and intricate stippling not only look stunning but also provide a comfortable and secure grip.
- Quick Takedown Design: With two push pins, the rifle disassembles easily, making it compact for travel or storage, and straightforward to clean.
- Smooth Lever Action: The oversized lever loop ensures fast, reliable operation, while the buttery-smooth cycling makes this rifle a joy to shoot.
- Adjustable Iron Sights: The medium-profile carbon steel barrel is paired with adjustable iron sights for precision and accuracy right out of the box.
A Test Run on the Range
Shooting the Revel DLX at the Savage booth was an absolute blast. The lever action operates effortlessly, feeding cartridges so smoothly you barely notice it. With a suppressor attached, the rifle is whisper-quiet, amplifying the fun factor while reducing noise.
Savage’s attention to detail shows in every aspect of this rifle. From its crossbolt safety to the drilled and tapped receiver for optics, the Revel DLX is both functional and stylish with its rustic charm and modern advancements.
Timeless Aesthetics Meet Practical Design
The Revel DLX is a modern take on a classic design, appealing to both traditionalists and those seeking innovative features. The tubular magazine provides ample capacity for extended plinking sessions or small game hunting, while the rubber butt pad adds comfort during longer shooting stints.

Savage has moved me and I am not a man who is easily moved! I like the look. This is a good looking rifle in an era of artless tinker toys.
Hi, just wondering will this new model Revel be manufactured up in the Lakefield plant in ontario Canada, or the US plant.
Barrel length? Capacity?
If Savage Arms make such great firearms, how did I purchase one that was unshootable right out of the box? I sent numerous inquiries to their customer support department with zero response. I finally sent it in for warranty work after 6 weeks, I finally get an update. From the parcel delivery company as to when to expect my firearm. I received my firearm and immediately went to the range to see if it would even fire. It didn’t! No response from Savage after several attempts to contact them. I looked over the warrant paperwork as to what they did and I noticed that they ordered and installed a part for a rifle. I had a pistol. I have a very hard time believing that a single customer of Savage is satisfied with their firearm. My opinion: NEVER do business with this company. If you have any issues,even in the warranty period, don’t plan on them assisting you for one second. They apparently have other thing to do that is more important than assisting a paying customer. And lastly, save your time, effort, and money, and buy a better product, which is pretty much every other company than Savage.
As I am always suspicious anymore about this sort of release… I’d sure like to know whether it’s full American made, partially American or altogether imported and re-marked.
