Savage Arms 19142 .222 Remington 24" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Savage Arms 19142 25 Lightweight Varminter-T is a right-hand bolt-action rifle chambered in .222 Remington, engineered for precision varmint hunting and target shooting. Built on Savage's proven short-action platform, this full-size rifle delivers the accuracy and handling characteristics demanded by shooters pursuing small game and pest control at intermediate ranges. The combination of a 24-inch heavy barrel with a matte black carbon steel receiver provides both velocity stability and repeatable shot-to-shot consistency.

Key specifications include a 4+1 round capacity in .222 Rem, a 3-lug bolt with 60-degree throw that permits low-scope mounting, and AccuTrigger technology as standard equipment. The satin brown thumbhole laminate stock provides both ergonomic control and environmental stability across temperature and humidity changes—a critical consideration for shooters who transition between range sessions and field conditions. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Weaver-style scope bases, eliminating the need for gunsmith work. Triple pillar bedding maximizes barrel consistency by controlling harmonic vibration. At 10.4 lbs, the rifle balances enough mass to manage .222 Rem recoil while remaining manageable during extended range sessions or hunting day.

This model suits varmint hunters, predator control operators, and precision rifle enthusiasts who value sub-MOA capability without the weight penalty of larger magnum platforms. The .222 Remington cartridge excels at distances under 200 yards where its flat trajectory and low recoil reduce wind-reading errors. Operators and serious sport shooters appreciate the predictable ergonomics of the thumbhole stock and the trigger control that AccuTrigger delivers—both reduce shot-to-shot variation caused by technique inconsistency. The Savage 25 platform is known for factory accuracy that requires minimal load development, making it accessible to shooters transitioning from factory ammunition to handloaded rounds.
