While a Savage Model 12 will surely help you make your groups smaller and smaller, the vast array of options within this lineup seems to just get bigger and bigger. Savage continues to dominate this market segment populated with the most discerning, performance-oriented shooters on the planet.

The Ultra-Accurate Savage 110 Action turns 50 years old in 2008, making it the longest continuously produced bolt-action rifle in America. Stronger than ever today, the 110 Action that has been the definition of accuracy for Savage is the basis for its Hunter, Classic, Weather Warrior, Varmint, Target, and Law Enforcement models.

Savage Arms continues to expand its lineup of bolt-action hunting rifles built around the precision of the Model 110 action.

Savage Arms is pleased to announce a new action that will change the way the firearms industry talks about bolt-actions. Previously centerfire bolt actions have been measured in length: long action, short action, super-short action, etc. The Savage Model 25 features a new slender, cartridge-diameter-specific action built around the .223 bolt head diameter. It is not only short, but also much smaller in diameter than a standard centerfire action.

Modern inline muzzleloading hunting has been one of the fastest-growing hunting and shooting sports of the last twenty years. It is easy to understand why; the current crop of high-performance 209 shotshell primer-fired inline muzzleloaders from reputable manufacturers offer big-game getting accuracy like never before, with improvements in ignition system, propellant, and projectiles completing the picture. It is easy to understand the appeal, for the better muzzleloaders may provide accuracy, shooting comfort, and low cost per shot as compared to many slug shotgun attempts. Here we compare four premium fifty-caliber hunting tools to see how they stack up in bang for the buck. The candidates are the Knight KP1 Magnum P1M-209-50/SN 50 Caliber, $640; the Savage 10ML-II Stainless Steel/Laminate Model 10MLBSS-II, $792; Thompson Encore Pro Hunter Stainless Steel/Black Composite No. 3976, $992; and the Thompson Triumph Carbon Steel "Weather Shield"/Camo No. 8512 50 caliber, $586.Three of these rifles are hammer guns: designated "break-action" or variants; the Savage 10ML-II is distinguished by its being developed from the familiar Savage Arms short-action bolt-action rifle. Also, the Savage alone can use specifically designated moderate relative burn-rate smokeless powders such as Accurate Arms 5744, Hodgdon/IMR SR 4759, and Vihtavuori N110 as prescribed by Savage Arms. Neither Knight nor Thompson allow these propellants in their rifles. Knight inscribes "Black Powder Only" on the KP1, and Thompson marks its barrels "Black Powder or Pyrodex Only." Both the Knight KP1 and the Thompson Encore offer centerfire barrels for the frames, and are classed as "Form 4473" arms for this reason.The Savage 10ML-II and the Thompson Triumph are dedicated muzzeloaders, and need no 4473, according to the BATFE. Neither Thompson nor Knight really mean what they say, of course. Blackpowder is seldom shot in todays inlines. Modern synthetic compounds such as Triple Se7en, Blackhorn 209, and others are more commonly used, including pellets that arent "powder" at all, but solid cylinders.We wanted to be as even-handed in our comparison as possible, so we elected to use Western Powders Blackhorn 209 blackpowder replica propellant along with both Barnes saboted bullets and Hornadys new FPB bore-sized space-age version of the Minie Ball. So, thats what we did.
