Savage 12 Varminter Low Profile | .223 | 26″ | 18465

The Savage 12 Varminter Low Profile is a precision-oriented bolt-action rifle built for varmint work and long-range small-game target shooting. It pairs a heavy, fluted stainless barrel with a user-adjustable AccuTrigger and a laminated wood stock for repeatable, stable shots. A good optic choice under $1000 that complements this platform is the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40, which balances magnification and field of view for varmint and target applications. Intended uses include varmint hunting and precision target shooting where consistent accuracy and a stable barrel/stock interface matter.
