Savage Arms 18529 25 Lightweight Varminter-T 204 Ruger 4+1 Cap 24" Matte Black Rec/Barrel Natural Brown Laminate Fixed Thumbhole Stock Right Hand (Full Size) with Detachable Box Magazine

The Savage Arms 18529 25 Lightweight Varminter-T in 204 Ruger is a precision rifle engineered for shooters who demand accuracy without excess weight. Built on Savage's proven platform, this rifle delivers the ballistic performance and inherent precision required for serious varmint hunting and long-range target work. The 24-inch medium-contour barrel provides the velocity needed for the efficient 204 Ruger cartridge while maintaining a handling weight of 10.4 pounds—ideal for extended field sessions where fatigue becomes a performance factor.

The rifle features a 3-lug bolt with a 60-degree throw, allowing low-mounted scope installation without clearance conflicts from large-diameter optics. Savage's AccuTrigger—standard on this model—delivers a crisp, predictable break that supports precision shooting from bench or field positions. The natural brown laminate fixed thumbhole stock provides structural rigidity through triple pillar bedding while offering the ergonomic control necessary for consistent shot placement. Weaver-style scope bases come pre-installed, eliminating mounting delays. The 4+1 capacity with detachable box magazine balances magazine changes for efficiency with quick top-loading flexibility in the field.

This configuration serves varmint hunters, predator control specialists, and precision shooters working at extended distances where the 204 Ruger's flat trajectory and minimal wind drift provide distinct advantages. The matte black receiver and barrel finish resist glint and corrosion in varied conditions. Right-hand configuration accommodates the majority of shooters. The lightweight profile and accuracy-focused design make this rifle equally suited to backcountry work where every ounce matters or dedicated range training where repeatable accuracy determines skill development.
