Savage 4
This is a
bolt-action takedown rifle based on a modified Model 3 (a single-shot design).
The action was sturdy and solid, and the lines of the weapon appealing.
The various models had a long production run, from 1933 to 1965.
Model 6s produced after World War 2 had Monte Carlo stocks.
The Model 4M fired magnum cartridges, but was otherwise identical to the
other post-war rifles. The Model 5
was a Model 4 with a tubular underbarrel magazine instead of the box magazine of
the Model 4.

Savage 10FCM
Notes: This is a
scout rifle, i.e., a rifle shooting medium caliber rounds that is no more than a
meter in length, very light in weight, able to mount a telescopic sight, has
backup iron sights, and is usually equipped with a sling for carrying.
The Savage 10FCM is such a rifle, and is ideal for small-statured people
such as teenagers and females. It
is based on the short action of the Savage 110.
It has a Weaver Rail for mounting most Western telescopic sights, and a
synthetic stock for light weight.
The Savage 10FCM does have a slight problem with extraction, in that sometimes
the round fails to extract fully and must be manually pulled from the chamber.

Savage 12
Notes: These
rifles are considered varmint rifles by Savage, though some of them fire some
decent calibers. They are heavy,
accurate weapons, with free-floating, fluted, heavy barrels and laminated wood
stocks (except for the FV series, which has a synthetic stock).
The bolt knob is oversized to enable a good grasp.
They have no iron sights, but are drilled and tapped for a scope.
They have what Savage calls an Accu-Trigger – a fully adjustable trigger
that incorporates a safety that does not allow the rifle to be accidentally
discharged. There are several
variants available, including single-shot version of most of the rifles.
The Model 12VSS is a special version with a skeletonized Choate synthetic
stock and alloy bedding.

Savage 40
Notes: This was
basically an enlargement of Savage rimfire designs.
It was designed for medium-caliber rounds and is very simple in both
appearance and operation. The .250
Savage and .30-30 Winchester chamberings used a 22-inch barrel, while the .300
Savage and .30-06 chamberings used a 24-inch barrel.
The rifle’s simple elegance was its downfall; comparable but fancier
offerings were available from Winchester at the time.

Savage 40 (New)
Notes: This is
not the first Savage rifle to be called the Model 40, as can be seen above.
The new Model 40 is a single-shot bolt-action rifle released in early
2005 chambered for .22 Hornet; other chamberings are expected for 2006 (or
possibly later), and these are represented below in speculative terms.
The receiver is of heat-treated steel, and the top of the receiver has a
Weaver-type scope base already installed.
The barrel is actually threaded about 7.6 centimeters ahead of the breech
instead of right at the breech; this gives the barrel additional support from
the receiver and strengthens the breech.
It also somewhat enhances accuracy.
The new Model 40 is equipped with an adjustable AccuTrigger.
The new Model 40 does have a manual safety which locks the bolt open if
the bolt is drawn to the rear, and otherwise locks the trigger mechanism.
The stock is of laminated hardwood.

Savage 111
Notes: The Model
111 – the “Classic Hunter” series – replaced the Savage 110 series in 1994.
The various members of the Model 111 series are basically the same for
game purposes, the differences being primarily in the stock patterns and/or
materials used. The standard Model
111, (the 111F) has a synthetic straight comb stock.
The variants of note are the Model 111FAK (also known as the Express),
which has a barrel two inches shorter, but is equipped with a muzzle brake; and
the Model 111FC, which has a detachable box magazine.
Twilight 2000
Notes: This is a rare rifle in the Twilight 2000 World, and the Model 111FAK is
almost unheard of.

Savage 114/14 American Classic
Notes: New for
2005, the American Classic is a classic-style bolt-action rifle designed for
general hunting purposes. The Model
114 American Classic uses a long action, while the Model 14 uses a short action.
The Model 114 uses a 22-inch barrel for standard chamberings, and a
24-inch barrel for magnum calibers; the Model 14 does likewise.
Both are drilled and tapped for a scope mount, and have no iron sights.
They have stocks of satin-lacquered American walnut, with an ebony cap on
the fore-end. The metalwork is
polished blue, and both models use Savage’s adjustable AccuTrigger mechanism.

Savage 114U
Notes: This is a
modern-construction rifle built with old-fashioned conservative styling.
The stock is especially well-done, made of fine-grain walnut with a
glossy, weather-resistant finish.
The butt has a shallow recoil pad that nonetheless helps cushion recoil.
The fore-end tip of the stock is another nod to classic finishes; it is
ebony black with no spacers. The
stock is of the Monte Carlo design, with a grip cut and checkering for a surer
grip. The ejection port is large to
ensure proper ejection, and the bolt operates smoothly.

Savage 116SE Safari Express
Notes: This is
sort of a Savage “elephant gun,” firing the massive .458 Winchester Magnum
cartridge. The Safari Express has
Savage’s new AccuTrigger, something which reduces trigger pull to manageable
proportions. The Safari Express
also has a muzzle brake which can be disabled simply by twisting it, which is
for use at local firing ranges where the .458’s massive muzzle blast would
offend the neighboring shooters if funneled through a muzzle brake.
It is not considered a very efficient muzzle brake, but it does reduce
recoil somewhat. The Safari Express
is drilled and tapped for a scope, but it also has express leaf sights, making
the rifle also useful in the stalking role.
Most of the metalwork is stainless steel, including crossbolts which
strength the mechanism of the rifle.
The butt has a recoil pad, and there is a ill-positioned sling swivel
which can bite one’s forward hand when firing the rifle.
The Safari Express can be a little finicky about ammunition, with
slightly long bullet often hanging up on the feed ramp and a magazine that is
difficult to load by feel.
It is worth
noting that this rifle no longer appears on the Savage website, and may have
been discontinued.

Savage Axis
Notes: A
descendant of the Model 10/110, the Axis was originally called the Edge until
copyright issues raised their heads.
The Axis, however, is regarded as a budget rifle (IRL), and there are
enough differences between the Axis and Model 10/110 that the Axis is not simply
a modified Model 10/110. Notable by
it’s lack is Savage’s excellent AccuTrigger system.
The Axis, however, does have a light trigger of only 5 pounds with a
crisp break and let-off. The bolt
head design is perhaps better than that of the Model 10/110, with a 3-lug bolt
design with even pressure on the rear of the cartridge case, and excellent
alignment of the cartridge with the bore.
The bolt handle is skeletonized, though strong and with a substantial
knob on the end. The tail of the firing pin serves as a chamber-loaded
indicator. The manual safety us a
thumb switch that pulls up and down, with a red dot to tell the shooter that the
weapon is off safe. The stock is polymer, with steel strengthening rods within,
and has a thick, ventilated recoil pad.
The Axis has a box magazine.
The trigger guard is large enough for a heavily-gloved finger, and the magazine
release and manual safety are also large enough for a heavily-gloved thumb.
These items are also of polymer.
The stock is normally black, but can also be had in Realtree Camouflage
(IRL, for an extra charge). The
stock is designed to be narrower than most hunting rifle stocks, which allows
for a more secure hold. The top of
the receiver is both grooved and tapped for scope rings, and rails can be added,
but none come with the Axis, and no iron sights are provided.
Barrels are 22
inches, accurized, have a target crown, and are of stainless steel. With the
excellent trigger, the Axis yields excellent accuracy. A Youth Model has a
20-inch trigger and a shorter length of pull, but is otherwise the same.

Savage BTV
Notes: A
racy-looking rifle with its streamlined lines, Monte Carlo comb, and thumbhole
stock, the BTV is one of the most distinctive bolt-action rimfire rifles on the
market today (Dec 2018). The stock is of laminated hardwood finished in a dark,
even finish. The trigger is a
user-adjustable Accu-Trigger (something common on modern Savage rifles), with a
very light factory-set pull weight of 2.5 pounds.
The 21-inch barrel is of carbon steel, but of heavy profile.
It should be noted that while the rifle is marked as being chambered for
.22 Long Rifle, the magazine will fit and the rifle will also chamber .22 Long
and .22 Short cartridges. The BTV,
however, is considered a bit heavy for it’s type of rifle, though the heavy
barrel contributes to this.
The Model 93R17
BTV is designed for .17 HMR. The Mk
II BTV is designed for .22 rounds, and has a 22-inch barrel.
The Mk I BTV has a 21-inch barrel.

Savage Mark II
Notes: The Mark
II (not to be confused with the BTV Mark II above) is designed specifically to
be an accurate plinking rifle. Like
the BTV Mk II, Savage says that the Mark II is designed for .22 Long Rifle
ammunition, but the magazines will fit and the rifle will chamber and operate
with .22 Short or .22 Long ammunition
The base rifle
of the line is the Mark II G, which has the now-standard Savage adjustable
Accu-Trigger; from the factory, though, it has a light, crisp trigger pull with
little takeup. It has open,
non-adjustable sights. It uses a
polyurethane-finished hardwood stock with a Monte Carlo comb.
The metalwork is matte blued and of carbon steel,
including the 21-inch barrel. The Mark II G is lightweight and easy to
use, but the stock length makes it more suited for older teenagers and adults.
The Mark II
TRR-SR has the Accu-Trigger like all Savage rifles.
It has a heavy-profile 22-inch barrel which is threaded, and when the cap
it on, presents a target crown. The
stock is of matte black hardwood, with a deep-pocket semi-pistol grip, and the
receiver is topped with a short length of Picatinny rail at the rear and a
longer length forward of the receiver, allowing for various scope or optics
mounts; it does not, however, have iron sights.
The Mark II GY
is essentially a Mark II G designed for youth shooters such as younger
teenagers, as well as small-statured adults.
The primary change is in the stock, which has an LOP 50 millimeters
shorter than the Mark II G’s stock.
It also does not have a Monte Carlo comb, and has more drop in it.
The barrel is also shorter at 19 inches.

Stevens 200
Notes: This
rifle, made in long and short-action versions, is actually manufactured and sold
by Savage Arms. Introduced in 2005
at the SHOT Show, it was designed to be an inexpensive rifle, but not cheap in
quality. It is essentially a
late-model Savage 110 without the AccuTrigger unit and with somewhat different
chamberings. The
Twilight 2000
Notes: This rifle does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.
