View Details →Savage Arms was founded in 1894 by Arthur Savage in Utica, New York. It gained prominence with innovative designs like the hammerless lever-action rifle and rotary magazine. During World Wars I and II, Savage produced military firearms, including machine guns and rifles. The company reorganized in 1998 and begain rebuilding the Savage brand. Savage became known for accurate, quality firearms, and introducing features like the AccuTrigger in 2002. Today, Savage is a leading manufacturer of rimfire and centerfire rifles, pistols, and shotguns that are known for innovation and value in the firearms industry.
The most popular Savage model is the 110 Bolt Action. It's a versatile rifle with AccuFit customizable stock and AccuTrigger system. Its offered in countless configurations and a wide variety of calibers. The AXIS rifle is also popular for its price point and accuracy. More recently Savage introduced the Impulse line of straight-pull rifles. An extremely fast single-shot action that's similar to a bolt action but uses a straight pull motion to actuate the bolt. Savage also produces a full lineup of 1911 pistols and semi-auto shotguns.
Savage currently produces a firearm in every category possible, so you are guaranteed to find a model proper for your needs. Use a Renegauge shotgun for bird hunting, or a 110 Ultralite for your mountain hunt. If you want a full size handgun for home defense, their 1911 models are outfitted with rails for accessories. Go concealed with the Stance striker fired polymer pistol.
Some common accessories and upgrades for Savage firearms include suppressors for quiet hunting, bipods for improved stability, caliber conversion kits, stocks, triggers, optics, and muzzle devices. These accessories allow for Savage firearm owners to customize and enhance their weapons for specific needs. Savages emphasizes completing the "ultimate Savage set up" with their line of accessories.
To maintain and clean your Savage firearm for optimal performance, always start by ensuring the firearm is unloaded. Disassemble the firearm according to the manufacturer's instructions, then clean the barrel using a bore brush, solvent, and patches, starting from the chamber end. Clean the action and other components with a brush and solvent, and lightly lubricate moving parts with gun oil, being careful not to over-lubricate. Wipe down the exterior to remove residue and fingerprints, and inspect all parts for wear or damage during cleaning. It's important to clean your Savage after every use, even if not fired extensively, and store it in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Regularly perform function checks to ensure proper operation, and always follow the specific maintenance instructions in your Savage owner's manual. Remember to use appropriate cleaning tools and materials for your specific Savage model.
Savage firearms feature many industry standard safeties and design features such as trigger safeties, tang safeties, drop safeties, sear blocks, etc. Its always important to thoroughly read and understand the owners manual before using your Savage. Always follow basic firearm safety protocols: treat every firearm as if it is loaded, never point it at anything you do not intend to shoot, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and store firearms securely when not in use. Regular training and adherence to safety practices are crucial for responsible gun ownership.
