Weighing in at approximately 10.5 pounds, this rifle’s heft is a feature, not a bug—it soaks up recoil and steadies your aim. The investment of $1282.53 gets you a system where every component is selected for one job: putting rounds through the same hole, shot after shot.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is a specialist’s tool. It’s for the varminter who needs to make ethical, first-round hits on prairie dogs at 400+ yards, ending the threat before the colony scatters. It’s for the precision shooter who wants to practice long-range fundamentals without the cost and recoil of a larger caliber. It’s not a walking rifle; it’s a setup-and-shoot platform for when you’ve reached your position and the targets are known. The single-shot design forces discipline—every round counts, so your fundamentals had better be solid.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The accuracy potential is outstanding, with many examples capable of half-MOA groups with quality handloads. The H.S. Precision stock provides an immediate, solid foundation that requires no modification. The adjustable target trigger is one of the best factory offerings available. The .22-250 cartridge offers a flat trajectory and devastating terminal performance on small game.
Cons: The single-shot action is a limitation for fast follow-ups—you either love it or you don’t. The 10.5-pound weight makes it unsuitable for carrying over long distances. Barrel life on the high-velocity .22-250 can be a consideration for extremely high-volume shooters. Here’s the thing—if your mission requires a magazine, this isn’t your rifle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this rifle suitable for long-range target shooting, or just varminting?
A: Absolutely. While chambered in a classic varmint cartridge, the Savage Model 12 LRP’s precision-oriented features make it an excellent trainer for larger-caliber long-range rigs. The .22-250’s mild recoil and wind-bucking ability allow you to focus on reading mirage and doping wind at distance, skills that directly translate to bigger calibers.
Q: What optics and mounts work best?
A: This rifle demands a high-magnification, first-focal-plane scope with precise tracking. Look for models from Vortex (like the Viper PST Gen II) or Nightforce designed for long-range shooting. It comes drilled and tapped for standard Savage 110-pattern scope bases, so mounts from brands like Warne or EGW are a direct fit. A 20 MOA inclined base is highly recommended to maximize your elevation adjustment.
Q: What’s the real-world accuracy expectation?
A: With careful ammunition selection—often handloads tailored to the chamber—sub-MOA (under 1 inch at 100 yards) performance is the standard. Many shooters report consistent groups in the 0.5 to 0.75 MOA range. The rigid platform and single-shot action remove variables, putting the consistency squarely on the shooter and their load development.
