Who This Rifle Is For
This Model 116 is ideal for the Missouri deer hunter who spends all season in the stand regardless of weather, or the western hunter chasing antelope in dry, dusty conditions. It’s for the shooter who values practical reliability over fancy wood and bluing. If your priority is a dependable, accurate tool that won’t rust at the first sign of moisture and won’t break the bank, this Savage fits the bill. It’s also a great option for a first-time big-game rifle where value and low maintenance are key.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The corrosion-resistant stainless build is a major advantage for all-weather use. The AccuTrigger is one of the best factory triggers available, and the AccuStock genuinely improves consistency. The detachable magazine is a practical feature. The price is a standout—comparing it to a Tikka T3x Lite Stainless or a Ruger American Predator shows you’re getting similar core utility for less cash.
Cons: The synthetic stock, while tough, may feel utilitarian compared to more expensive options. The .25-06 Remington, while excellent, isn’t as ubiquitous as .308 or .30-06, so ammo selection might be slightly more limited locally. Some users prefer a longer barrel for the .25-06 to maximize velocity, but the 22-inch tube offers a handy package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .25-06 Remington a good caliber for Missouri whitetail?
A: Absolutely. It’s a fantastic, flat-shooting cartridge with mild recoil that’s more than capable for deer at any typical Missouri range. It offers better long-range performance than a .243 with less drop and wind drift.
Q: Does the AccuStock system really make a difference?
A: Yes, by bedding the action into a rigid aluminum chassis within the stock, it minimizes flex and point-of-impact shift caused by sling pressure or resting on a bipod. It’s a tangible step up from a standard hollow synthetic stock in terms of potential accuracy.
Q: What optics mount easily on this rifle?
A: The Model 116 comes drilled and tapped for scope bases. It accepts standard Savage 110 long-action scope bases, which are widely available from brands like Weaver, Leupold, and EGW. A quality 3-9×40 or 4-12x scope is a perfect match for the .25-06’s capabilities.
