Key Features

- Factory-mounted scope: Includes a 3-9x40mm scope, pre-mounted and bore-sighted. Why it matters: You can hit the range immediately—no extra tools or mounting fees.
- Two-position safety: Locks the bolt handle when engaged. Why it matters: Safe carry in the field; you can unload with the safety on.
- Detachable box magazine: Holds 4 rounds, flush-fit. Why it matters: Quick reloads without fumbling with internal magazines, and you can carry spares.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the varmint hunter who chases prairie dogs and coyotes across open fields, and for the long-range beginner who wants a 22-250 that shoots under 1 MOA without breaking the bank. It also suits shooters who prefer a traditional wood stock over synthetic—something you don’t see often at this price point.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee from Savage; AccuTrigger is genuinely adjustable without tools; wood stock looks clean and reduces felt recoil transfer; scope package saves $150+ vs buying separately; 22-250 is a flat-shooting varmint round with minimal wind drift.
Cons: The factory stock is flex-prone on bipods—you’ll want to bed it or upgrade to a Boyd’s laminate for consistent cheek weld. Also, the included scope has a basic reticle and limited eye relief; serious shooters will swap it out.
