Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Savage Arms Springfield Model 187J is a semi-automatic .22 rimfire rifle that reflects the utilitarian approach Savage employed in its mid-20th-century Springfield-branded lineup. Chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges, the 187J offered shooters flexibility in ammunition choice, making it equally suitable for plinking, small game hunting, or informal target practice. Its semi-automatic blowback action provided smooth cycling, while the tubular magazine located under the barrel gave it a respectable capacity, ensuring long shooting sessions without frequent reloading. The 187J was also designed with an emphasis on simplicity and affordability, intended for the working-class sportsman or farm owner who wanted a reliable tool for varmints or recreational shooting without the expense of higher-end rifles. Its steel receiver, blued finish, and hardwood stock provided durability and functionality, even if its fit and finish were not as refined as more premium competitors. Despite its utilitarian origins, the Springfield Model 187J has earned a quiet reputation among collectors and enthusiasts of vintage rimfire rifles. Produced during an era when Savage was branding many of its economical models under the Springfield name, the 187J is representative of practical American gunmaking, focusing on rugged service rather than ornate design. While not rare, surviving examples in excellent condition can be highly desirable, particularly to those who appreciate the rifle’s role as an accessible and reliable firearm for mid-century shooters. Its straightforward design, ease of use, and ability to handle different .22 loads give it lasting appeal as a functional piece, while its connection to the broader Savage/Springfield lineage makes it historically interesting. Today, the 187J stands as both a nostalgic reminder of a simpler era of rimfire rifles and a functional firearm that, with proper care, remains entirely capable in the field.
