Description
The Savage 11 Trophy Predator Hunter 223 Rem 22″ Barrel, Scope MOB Wood Stock Black, 4rd is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle designed for predator control and varmint hunting. It combines Savage’s renowned AccuTrigger and a free-floated barrel with a factory-mounted scope on a classic wood stock, offering a ready-to-hunt package for precise, repeatable shots at an affordable price point.
When it comes to thinning out a coyote population or protecting livestock from groundhogs, you need a rifle that’s accurate, reliable, and ready to go. The Savage 11 Trophy Predator Hunter delivers exactly that. It’s not a fancy safe queen; it’s a working tool built for the realities of the field. The package includes a mounted and bore-sighted scope, so you can verify zero and head out—no gunsmithing required. That said, this rifle’s core strength is its practical accuracy. The 22-inch barrel is free-floated, meaning the stock doesn’t touch it, which minimizes point-of-impact shift from sling pressure or resting positions. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable, allowing you to set a crisp, clean break that suits your preference, a critical feature for making ethical shots on small, fast-moving targets. The synthetic stock is pillar-bedded for consistent barrel harmonics, and the overall package weighs in at a manageable 7.5 pounds, making it easy to carry on long walks to your stand.

This rifle is for the Missouri landowner dealing with coyote packs, the farmer managing a woodchuck problem, or the hunter who wants an affordable, no-fuss rifle for prairie dogs. It’s built for scenarios where you need to make a single, precise shot at 200+ yards, not for rapid fire. The .223 Remington chambering is perfect for this—offering flat trajectory, minimal recoil, and readily available, cost-effective ammunition. You can feed it a wide range of loads, from lighter varmint bullets to heavier, controlled-expansion rounds for larger predators. At $552.90, this package represents significant value, bundling a proven action with functional optics. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your FFL transfer.
Pros: Outstanding out-of-the-box accuracy potential. The included scope makes it a true ready-to-hunt package. The adjustable AccuTrigger is a standout feature for a rifle in this price range. Lightweight and easy to carry for extended periods. Chambered in a highly versatile and affordable caliber.
Cons: The synthetic stock is functional but not luxurious. The 4-round magazine capacity is sufficient for its role but lower than some competitors. As with any package rifle, serious long-range shooters may eventually choose to upgrade the optics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope any good, or should I plan on replacing it immediately?
A: The included 3-9x40mm scope is a functional entry-level optic. It’s perfectly adequate for getting started and for most predator hunting scenarios inside 300 yards. It holds zero and provides a clear sight picture. Many users hunt with it for years, while others choose to upgrade to brands like Vortex or Leupold for enhanced clarity and features down the line.
Q: Can this rifle handle 5.56 NATO ammunition?
A: No. This rifle is chambered specifically for .223 Remington. While .223 Remington can be safely fired in a 5.56mm chamber, the reverse is not true. Firing higher-pressure 5.56mm ammunition in a .223 Remington chamber can create dangerous pressure levels. Stick to commercially available .223 Remington loads.
Q: How does the AccuTrigger work, and is it safe?
A: The AccuTrigger uses a unique blade-within-a-blade design. Your finger presses the inner blade to fire. The outer blade acts as a safety; unless the inner blade is deliberately engaged, the rifle will not fire, even if dropped. The pull weight is easily adjustable by the user with a simple tool, allowing you to tailor it for precision shooting.
If you need a dedicated, accurate tool for predator management that you can trust straight from the box, the Savage 11 Trophy Predator Hunter package is a practical solution. See full details and availability at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
