Here’s the thing—this rifle is built for a specific job. The 20-inch barrel provides a handy length for maneuvering in brush or a blind, while the .223 Remington chambering offers affordable practice and effective terminal performance on varmints up to coyote size. The iron sights are a huge plus, giving you a ready-to-shoot package right out of the box. The synthetic stock is about durability, not fancy ergonomics; it’s stiff and handles abuse well. This model is part of Savage’s 11/111 series, known for its solid, budget-friendly foundation. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Who This Rifle Is For
This Hog Hunter is ideal for the budget-conscious landowner, trapper, or hunter who needs a dedicated tool for controlling feral hogs, coyotes, or other pests. It’s for the shooter who values reliability and simple functionality, perhaps as a truck gun or a foul-weather rifle. It’s also a great platform for someone wanting to build a custom rifle later, as the action is a proven starting point. If you need a rifle that works without pampering and leaves room in your budget for optics and ammo, this is a strong contender.
Pros & Cons: The Practical Tradeoffs
Pros: The price is the biggest advantage—you get a threaded barrel and iron sights on a name-brand action for well under $500. The AccuTrigger is consistently praised as one of the best factory triggers in this price bracket. The inclusion of iron sights is rare nowadays and adds immediate utility. The threaded barrel is a major value-add for future suppressor use. Finally, the synthetic stock is virtually indestructible and impervious to moisture.
Cons: The stock is basic; it lacks modern texturing and adjustable features, and the feel is utilitarian. The .223 Remington, while affordable, has limitations on larger game. The detachable magazine system works, but aftermarket support isn’t as vast as for some other platforms. You’re buying a workhorse, not a show pony.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
A: Yes. The barrel features 1/2″-28 threads, which is the standard for .223/5.56 muzzle devices and many popular suppressors from brands like SilencerCo and Dead Air.
Q: Can I mount a scope on this rifle?
A: Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Savage 110 scope bases. Popular one-piece mounts from brands like EGW or Weaver will fit, allowing you to add an optic like a Vortex Crossfire II for longer-range shots while keeping the iron sights usable.
Q: What’s the difference between the Model 11 and 111?
A: Historically, the model number denoted short-action (11) vs. long-action (111) calibers. Since the .223 Remington is a short-action cartridge, this rifle is technically built on a Model 11 action. Savage often markets them together as 11/111 for simplicity.
When you stack up its features against other entry-level bolt guns, the Savage Hog Hunter offers a compelling package. You get a suppressor-ready barrel and usable iron sights—items that often cost $150+ to add later—for a price that’s hard to beat. It’s a straightforward, effective tool that gets the job done.
