Savage Arms 18516 .223 Rem 26" 5-Round Stainless Bolt-Action Rifle

The Savage Arms 18516 .223 Rem 26" 5-Round Stainless Bolt-Action Rifle is a precision-engineered platform purpose-built for long-range accuracy, varmint control, and tactical marksmanship. Designed for shooters who demand sub-MOA performance and reliable field performance in demanding conditions, this rifle bridges the gap between competitive accuracy and operational durability. Whether deployed for precision rifle competitions, professional varmint management, or precision hunting applications, the 18516 delivers consistent results across extended engagements.

Built around Savage's legendary Model 110 platform, the 18516 features a 26-inch stainless steel barrel that maximizes velocity and inherent accuracy while resisting corrosion in harsh field environments. The stainless construction eliminates maintenance concerns in salt spray, wet conditions, and extended storage without traditional bluing care. The bolt-action mechanism delivers crisp, predictable trigger control and controlled feeding essential for precision work, while the 5-round capacity suits tactical, hunting, and training scenarios. At 12.2 pounds, the rifle strikes a practical balance—heavy enough to manage recoil and support steady aim through 100-yard engagements, yet portable enough for field work and vehicle deployment.

This rifle serves precision marksmen, tactical teams, law enforcement precision rifle platforms, and serious sportsmen requiring .223 Rem accuracy out to extended ranges. The Savage 18516 accepts standard AR-pattern optic mounts and aftermarket tactical accessories, making it adaptable to mission-specific configurations. Handloaders and precision ammunition enthusiasts will appreciate the tight chamber tolerances and stainless barrel performance, which reward premium ammunition and meticulous reload practices for competition-grade results.
