The rifle’s matte black finish on the barrel and action resists glare and corrosion, while the 26-inch barrel length gives the .223 Remington cartridge the room it needs to reach its potential. At roughly 7.5 pounds, it’s light enough for a full day of carrying but heavy enough to steady your aim. The action is smooth and reliable, built on Savage’s proven 110 platform. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who It’s For
This is for the predator caller working the back forty, the rancher protecting livestock, or the dedicated varmint hunter scanning prairie dog towns. When you need to hike fence lines or traverse crop edges, this rifle’s balance is a tangible advantage. It’s for the shooter who understands that a long barrel isn’t a handicap if the rifle is built to carry—it’s the key to extending your effective range and making ethical, one-shot stops. The price point of $635.34 makes it a serious value for a rifle with these features.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The long barrel delivers superior muzzle velocity for flatter trajectories and extended reach. The AccuTrigger system is a standout—no gunsmithing required to achieve a clean, predictable pull. The stock is rigid and stable, directly contributing to repeatable accuracy. It’s a ready-to-work platform right out of the box.
Cons: The 46.5-inch overall length can be cumbersome in extremely thick brush or from a tight vehicle window. The .223 Remington, while excellent for varmints, has limitations on larger game due to regulations and projectile selection. That said, for its intended role, it’s hard to beat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What scope base does this rifle use?
A: The Savage 110 Walking Varminter uses a standard Savage 110 short-action round receiver pattern. It’s compatible with popular bases from brands like EGW, Warne, and Leupold. A set of medium-height rings is typically ideal for mounting a 40-50mm objective varmint scope.
Q: Can it handle 5.56 NATO ammunition?
A: No. This rifle is chambered specifically for .223 Remington. While some firearms are rated for both, always adhere to the chamber marking. Using 5.56 NATO in a .223 Rem chamber can create unsafe pressure levels.
Q: Is the magazine easy to find?
A: Yes. The detachable magazine is a common Savage 110 short-action pattern. Spares and higher-capacity options, like the 10-round magazines from Savage or aftermarket suppliers, are readily available for purchase online and in stores.
