Description
The first light of a Missouri winter dawn paints the fields in shades of gray and white. You’ve been on this stand for hours, waiting for the coyote that’s been thinning the local deer herd. The wind is right, but your shot will be long—over 250 yards across a cut soybean field. You need a rifle that’s dead-on accurate, utterly reliable in the cold, and invisible against the snowy backdrop. That’s the exact scenario the Savage 11 Trophy Predator Hunter Bolt 22-250Rem 22″ Barrel, Snow Camo Wood Stock, 4rd was built to dominate.
What is it? It’s a purpose-built, long-range varmint and predator rifle chambered in the flat-shooting .22-250 Remington. The package centers on Savage’s legendary Model 11 action, topped with a factory-installed Nikon 3-9x40mm scope, and dressed in a unique snow camo laminate stock. This rig is designed for hunters who need to reach out and touch small, wary targets in open or winter conditions, with a total package price of $488.51.
Let’s talk about the heart of the system: the cartridge. The .22-250 Remington is a screamer. It launches lightweight bullets at velocities often exceeding 3,500 feet per second. What does that mean in the field? A laser-flat trajectory and devastating impact on prairie dogs, coyotes, bobcats, and foxes. Wind drift is minimized, and the margin for error in range estimation shrinks. When you squeeze the trigger, the report is sharp and the bullet arrives almost instantly, making follow-up shots on missed or multiple targets a real possibility.
The platform is just as serious as the round it fires. The Model 11 action is known for its robust, simple design and crisp AccuTrigger. This user-adjustable trigger is a game-ender for accuracy—you get a clean, predictable break without creep, which is critical for those long, off-hand shots. The 22-inch barrel is free-floated within the stock, meaning nothing touches it except at the receiver. This prevents pressure points from affecting the barrel’s harmonic vibration, shot after shot. The result is consistent, sub-MOA accuracy that you can trust. At just under 8 pounds scoped, it’s a manageable weight for a long carry or a steady hold from a bipod.
Then there’s the stock. The snow camo laminate isn’t just for looks—it’s a functional tool for late-season and winter hunting. The layered wood is incredibly stable, resistant to warping from moisture and temperature swings that would make a synthetic stock shift point of impact. The camouflage pattern breaks up your outline perfectly in frosted fields or against a snowy timber edge. It’s a feature that gives you a tangible edge. This rifle is drop-in ready with its mounted scope, requiring no gunsmithing to get you from the box to the zeroing range. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.

The Pros: You get outstanding out-of-the-box accuracy thanks to the free-floated barrel and AccuTrigger. The included Nikon scope is a legitimate optic, not a throwaway. The snow camo stock is both highly functional and durable. The .22-250 chambering is ideal for long-range varminting. The whole package represents serious value.
The Cons: The .22-250 is loud with significant muzzle blast—hearing protection is mandatory. Barrel life can be shorter than slower cartridges due to high velocities. The laminate stock, while stable, is heavier than modern synthetics. Ammunition cost is higher than .223 Remington.
So who is this rifle for? It’s for the serious predator hunter who spends seasons in a stand, the farmer protecting livestock across wide pastures, or the varmint shooter who appreciates precision. It’s for anyone who needs a dedicated, no-excuse tool for medium-sized critters at extended ranges, particularly in winter environments. If your hunting happens where the fields are wide and the coats are white, this Savage has your name on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope mounted and bore-sighted from the factory?
A: Yes. The Nikon 3-9x40mm BDC scope is mounted and roughly bore-sighted. You will still need to finalize your zero at the range with your chosen ammunition, but it should be on paper at 100 yards right out of the box.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With quality ammunition, sub-Minute of Angle (MOA) groups are common—that’s roughly a 1-inch group at 100 yards. The free-floated barrel and AccuTrigger are designed for this level of precision, making it more than capable for ethical predator shots at 300+ yards.
Q: Can I use a bipod with this rifle?
A: Absolutely. The stock has a flat forend suitable for mounting a bipod. Popular models like the Harris S-BRM or Caldwell XLA pivot bipod attach easily via the sling swivel stud, providing a rock-solid field rest for precision shooting.
