The Savage Model 25 Lightweight Varminter-T delivers exceptional precision for varmint hunting and long-range shooting applications. This bolt-action rifle combines Savage's renowned accuracy with specialized features designed for extended shooting sessions and consistent performance in field conditions.
What Makes This Different
The thumbhole laminate stock design provides superior ergonomics and stability compared to traditional hunting stocks, allowing for more consistent cheek weld and natural hand positioning. The 204 Ruger chambering offers flat trajectory and minimal wind drift, making it ideal for prairie dog and coyote hunting at extended ranges. The detachable box magazine system enables faster reloads than internal magazine designs while maintaining the rifle's sleek profile.

Field performance centers on the 204 Ruger's exceptional ballistics, delivering muzzle velocities exceeding 4,000 fps with appropriate ammunition. The heavy barrel profile maintains accuracy during rapid-fire sequences common in prairie dog hunting, while the laminated stock resists warping in varying weather conditions.
