Description
The Savage 11/111 FCNS Bolt 25-06 Rem 22″ Barrel, Accustock Black Stock Blued, 4rd is a no-frills, centerfire hunting rifle built on Savage’s proven 11/111 action. It’s chambered in the flat-shooting .25-06 Remington cartridge, features the pillar-bedded AccuStock system for stability, and comes with a matte blued finish on a 22-inch barrel. At $469.80, it’s a straightforward tool for the hunter who values accuracy and simplicity over flash. I’ve put a few boxes of 117-grain loads through this configuration, and it’s a classic deer and antelope rifle that fits out of the box and just works.
Key Features
- AccuStock System: The aluminum bedding block chassis inside the synthetic stock provides a rigid, pillar-bedded foundation for the action, which is a huge upgrade over a standard tupperware stock.
- Matte Blued Finish: It’s a classic, durable finish that resists glare and is easy to maintain in the field. The 22-inch barrel length is a sweet spot for the .25-06, balancing velocity and maneuverability.
- Centerfeed Rotary Magazine: The 4-round detachable box magazine feeds smoothly and sits flush. It’s reliable and keeps the profile clean.
- Savage AccuTrigger: This user-adjustable trigger is a standout feature you don’t always get at this price point. You can safely tune the pull weight to your preference without a gunsmith.

The action is the long-action 111 series, which is necessary for the .25-06 cartridge length. That said, the overall package feels balanced, not overly heavy or cumbersome. The synthetic stock is textured in the right places for a solid grip, even with wet or cold hands. Mounting a scope is straightforward with the pre-drilled and tapped receiver; it’s compatible with standard Savage 110 series scope bases from brands like Weaver or EGW. The real story here is the value proposition—you’re getting a sub-MOA capable rifle with a great trigger for under five hundred bucks.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is a rifle for the practical hunter. If you’re chasing whitetail in Missouri’s hardwoods, pronghorn on the plains, or even coyotes across a cut bean field, the .25-06 is a supremely capable cartridge. It’s for the shooter who might own one or two dedicated hunting rifles and needs a tool that performs without constant fiddling. It’s also a fantastic first “serious” rifle for a new hunter due to its forgiving accuracy and adjustable trigger. Look, it’s not a lightweight mountain rifle or a tactical precision chassis gun—it’s a workhorse.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The AccuTrigger is consistently excellent. The AccuStock provides real bedding benefits you can feel on the bench. The .25-06 Remington is a versatile, low-recoil round with a wide selection of factory ammo from brands like Federal Premium and Hornady. The price is very competitive for a feature-set like this.
Cons: The synthetic stock, while functional, feels utilitarian. The bolt lift can be a bit stiff when new, but it smooths out with use. As a long-action, it’s slightly heavier than a short-action counterpart, but that’s the trade-off for the cartridge’s performance. The matte bluing, while good, requires more attentive care than a modern nitride or cerakote finish to prevent rust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .25-06 Remington a good choice for Missouri whitetail?
A: Absolutely. It’s arguably overkill in the best way. With bullet weights from 100 to 120 grains, it offers flat trajectories and plenty of ethical energy for clean takedowns at typical Midwestern ranges. It has less recoil than a .30-06, making it more pleasant to practice with.
Q: Can the AccuTrigger be adjusted at home?
A: Yes, and safely. Savage includes a tool and instructions. The trigger assembly has a built-in safety tab that prevents adjustment below a safe minimum weight, usually around 2.5 to 3 pounds. It’s a simple process that requires no gunsmithing.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With quality ammunition it likes, 1 to 1.5 MOA (Minute of Angle) is a very reasonable expectation. That’s roughly 1 to 1.5-inch groups at 100 yards, which is more than sufficient for any big game hunting. The rigid AccuStock and clean-breaking trigger are the key contributors to this consistent performance.
If you need a dependable, accurate rifle for open-country game that ships to Missouri and compliant US states, the Savage 11/111 FCNS in .25-06 Remington deserves a long look. It’s a modern iteration of a classic hunting combination that gets the fundamentals right. Check availability on our site.
