Look, I’ve put a few boxes of handloads through this rifle, and the first thing you notice is the fit. The walnut stock has a solid, traditional feel without being bulky. The 22″ barrel keeps the overall length manageable for hunting in blinds or thick timber, and the .250 Savage is just a pleasure to shoot—minimal kick and a trajectory that’s easy to manage out to reasonable hunting distances. At $1284.22, you’re paying for a piece of history and craftsmanship, not just a tool. The action is smooth, and the trigger—Savage’s famous AccuTrigger—breaks cleanly right out of the box, no gunsmithing required. That said, this isn’t a lightweight mountain rifle; the classic walnut and steel construction gives it a heft that seasoned shooters will appreciate for steady offhand shots. The 4-round capacity is standard for a sporter configuration and is more than adequate for any ethical hunting scenario. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who This Rifle Is For
This anniversary model is for the hunter-collector. It’s for someone who appreciates the history of American firearms, has a soft spot for classic cartridges, and wants a rifle that performs as beautifully as it looks. If you’re chasing whitetail in the Ozarks or planning a western antelope hunt and want to do it with a rifle that has a story, this is your candidate. It’s also a fantastic choice for someone wanting a single, high-quality, versatile rifle for North American medium game.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional fit and finish for a production rifle. The .250 Savage is a low-recoil, highly effective cartridge that’s a joy to shoot. The American walnut stock provides timeless aesthetics and a solid feel. The 125th Anniversary markings make it a true collector’s item with inherent value. The proven 110 action and AccuTrigger guarantee out-of-the-box accuracy.
Cons: The .250 Savage, while excellent, is not as commonly found on shelves as .308 or .30-06, so you might be ordering ammo online or handloading. The rifle’s classic build has a bit more weight than modern synthetic offerings. As a special edition, availability is limited.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .250 Savage cartridge still a viable hunting round?
A: Absolutely. With modern 100-120 grain bullet designs, the .250 Savage is a supremely effective cartridge for deer, antelope, and similar-sized game out to 300 yards. It offers trajectory very similar to the .243 Winchester but with a slightly larger bullet diameter, often with less recoil and report.
Q: What optics would you recommend for this rifle?
A: To complement its classic style and practical purpose, I’d lean towards a sleek 3-9x40mm or 2-10x42mm scope from brands like Leupold or Vortex. A model like the Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40mm in matte black would be a perfect match, maintaining the rifle’s clean lines while providing excellent hunting clarity.
Q: Can this rifle handle handloads?
A: Yes, the Savage 110 action is famously robust and has a strong following in the handloading community. The .250 Savage responds wonderfully to careful load development, allowing you to fine-tune for accuracy or velocity. Always consult reliable loading manuals and start with conservative charges.
