The Savage Arms Model 25 in .22 Hornet delivers precision varmint hunting performance in a compact, lightweight package. This bolt-action rifle combines Savage's renowned accuracy with the versatility of the .22 Hornet cartridge for small game and pest control applications. Built with a black polymer stock and engineered for consistent shot placement at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The Model 25 features Savage's AccuTrigger system, providing a crisp, user-adjustable trigger pull that enhances accuracy without compromising safety. Unlike standard hunting rifles, this platform is specifically optimized for the .22 Hornet cartridge's ballistics, with a barrel twist rate and chamber dimensions that maximize the round's flat trajectory and minimal wind drift. The lightweight polymer construction reduces overall weight by 15-20% compared to traditional wood-stocked rifles while maintaining structural integrity.
Key Features
- AccuTrigger system with user-adjustable pull weight from 2.5-6 pounds
- 4-round detachable box magazine for quick reloading
- 22-inch button-rifled carbon steel barrel with 1:14 twist rate
- Black synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces and sling swivel studs
- Drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope mounts
- Carbon steel action with matte black finish for corrosion resistance
- Overall length of 42 inches with 6.75-pound weight
Field performance centers on the .22 Hornet's ability to deliver 2,800+ fps muzzle velocities with minimal recoil, making it ideal for prairie dog hunting, crop damage control, and small predator management. The cartridge maintains effective energy out to 200 yards while producing minimal pelt damage on fur-bearing animals. Weather-sealed action components and corrosion-resistant finish ensure reliable cycling in adverse conditions.
