Prairie Dogs beware. The Varmint series raises the bar on varmint-grade accuracy. Savages' revolutionary AccuTrigger lets you calibrate trigger pull weight all the way down to 6 oz. with certain models. A superlative factory-produced rifle, the Varmint Series features button-rifled, free-floating barrels and a variety of stock configurations. The top-of-the-line Model 12 Long Range Precision Varminter provides legendary Savage accuracy and sets the standard in long-range shooting. An extra-heavy, fluted, one-inch diameter barrel with a smaller ejection port provides more rigidity to the receiver and greater precision. All this, plus an aluminum v-block system in H-S Precision's Varmint stock. It's easy to see why the Model 12 was named a Field & Stream 'Best of the Best' and earned NRA's Shooting Illustrated 'Golden Bullseye Award.'

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 22-250 Remington was introduced by Remington in 1965…but that's just part of its story. Based on the 250 Savage case necked down, it was wildcatted in several versions in the 1930s and remained a popular non-standard cartridge for the next 30 years. Remington's factory version was an overnight success! Today the 22-250 is the most popular long-range varmint cartridge, and probably the most popular 22 centerfire after the 223. All ammunition manufacturers offer it. Loads vary, but 50-grain loads run about 3800 feet per second. Heavier bullets are a bit slower, and with bullets of 40 to 45 grains it reaches or exceeds 4000 fps. It is a standard chambering for most manufacturers of bolt action and single-shot rifles, and is legendary for accuracy and performance on varmints. Bullets of 55 grains and below should be used for varmints; hunters wishing to use their 22-250s for deer should choose bullets of 60 grains and more intended for the purpose. — Craig Boddington
