The Savage Model 25 was built from the ground up as a varmint rifle rather than adapted from a big-game action, using a compact receiver sized specifically for small cartridges. This Lightweight Varmint in .223 Remington pairs a 24-inch barrel with a laminate stock and a detachable box magazine. Laminate is the right call for a rifle that sits on a bipod through a long prairie dog session: it resists the humidity swings that shift a wood stock's bedding, and it adds enough mass to steady the rifle. The AccuTrigger lets you break shots without disturbing the sight picture.
