I’ve put a few hundred rounds of various .22-250 loads through this platform, and the consistency is what stands out. The free-floated barrel and the pillar-bedded stock design aren’t just marketing terms—they translate to solid sub-MOA potential with good ammunition. The package price of $634.87 is a legitimate value when you consider the scope is included and mounted. That said, the synthetic stock is functional but basic; it gets the job done without frills. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who This Rifle Is For
This package is ideal for the hunter who wants to hit the field without the hassle of piecing together a system. Think Missouri coyote hunters, prairie dog shooters, or anyone managing groundhog populations. It’s also a smart pick for a first-time centerfire rifle owner who wants a flat-shooting, low-recoil caliber that’s devastating on varmints. The included Nikon scope is a legitimate optic, not a throwaway piece of glass, which makes this a true turn-key solution.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The out-of-the-box readiness is the biggest win. You have a proven, accurate Savage action, a corrosion-resistant barrel, and a usable scope—all for one price. The AccuTrigger is a standout feature, offering a clean break that rivals triggers on rifles costing much more. The .22-250 Remington caliber itself is a legendary varmint round, offering laser-like trajectory and explosive terminal performance on small to medium-sized predators.
Cons: The stock is purely utilitarian; it lacks the ergonomic shaping or texturing of higher-end models. The 4-round magazine capacity is standard but not generous. Also, while the Nikon scope is good, serious long-range varminters might eventually want to upgrade to a scope with more magnification or a finer reticle, like a Vortex Diamondback Tactical. But as a starting point, it’s more than capable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already zeroed?
A: The scope is mounted and bore-sighted at the factory, which gets you on paper. You will still need to perform a final zeroing at the range with your chosen ammunition. The process is straightforward, and no special tools are needed for the included bases.
Q: What’s the real-world accuracy I can expect?
A: With quality factory ammo—think Federal Premium or Hornady V-Max loads—and a steady shooter, sub-1-inch groups at 100 yards are a very realistic expectation. The free-floated barrel and AccuTrigger are designed for this kind of precision. The rifle is often more accurate than the shooter.
Q: Is the .22-250 Remington suitable for deer hunting in Missouri?
A: Look, while it’s legally permissible for deer in Missouri with specific bullet constructions, it’s not my first recommendation. It’s a light, fast bullet. The .22-250 is a phenomenal varmint and predator cartridge, but for ethical deer hunting, I’d suggest stepping up to a .243 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor for more reliable energy and bullet weight. This Model 16 is purpose-built for smaller, faster targets.
If you’re after a no-fuss, accurate hunting tool that’s ready to perform from the first case you open, this Savage package deserves a close look.
