    Unlike most manufacturers, Savage chose not to mark their shotgun barrels with standard choke markings of Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder and Cylinder. Instead they chose to use a series of asterisk (*) marks as code to specify the choke constriction of a given barrel. This code can be found stamped on the barrel just forward of the receiver. ...

    Let's face it, the vast majority of rifle owners out there are hunters, and as hunters they typically only pull their rifles out of the closet or gun safe for a few weeks a year for hunting season. Each fall they dig it out of the back corner of the safe, blow the dust off, search ...

    I have to start off this review with a confession of sorts. When I first learned of the new Model 42 from Savage Arms that was announced at the 2013 SHOT Show I was elated, but then when I saw the first pictures of it I'm pretty sure I used every foul word in the English language ...

    The issue as to whether or not Savage 110-Series bolt handles can be used on Savage Axis rifles has come up numerous times on the forum since the Axis was launched in 2010. Each time we say "no", and each time there's at least one person who insists on disagreeing with us. ...

    It seems a number of people out there don't seem to know what primary extraction is or what it does. Hopefully this quick FAQ and the accompanying video's will resolve that. ...

    For 2014 Savage Arms didn't bring a whole lot of new products to the market. In fact, there are really only seven new models for this year and all but one of them are rimfires. The lone centerfire rifle ...

    Visually estimating the range to your target is probably one of the most difficult elements of long-range marksmanship to master. You can have the best rifle available, finely tuned hand-loaded ammunition, perfect trigger control and you can memorize the ballistic and atmospheric tables for your favorite hand-load, but you will never be a true marksman if you don’t know the approximate range to your target. Laser rangefinders like the Leupold RX-800i/TBR with DNA ...

    Ever wished someone would offer a single-shot adapter for the Savage Axis? Something that would slip in place of the factor DBM and allow you to easily single-feed cartridges at the range or in a prairie dog town without having to modify anything else on your rifle? ...

    Every week there seems to be more questions pertaining to what fits in which action and what bolt face to use. We've decided to make a list of common calibers with lengths and head diameters to give a quick reference to follow. Data came from several sources, so feel free to correct me and add any I missed.

    All the threads on the forum requesting the date of manufacture are getting a little out of hand and thus we (the staff) have come to the conclusion that we will no longer be dating any rifles with a serial number beginning with a letter. This is because these guns aren't that old and the letter prefix itself will give you a relative idea of when the rifle was manufactured. The "dating" service is intended more for dating and documenting the older collectable guns that are no longer in production and were made prior to 1968.
