Savage | 25 Lightweight Varminter-T | .222 Rem | 24″ | 19142

The Savage 25 Lightweight Varminter-T is a right-hand bolt-action varmint rifle chambered in .222 Remington that balances manageable weight and accuracy for field use. It features a 24″ carbon steel barrel and a laminated thumbhole stock that improves stability and follow-through. The action includes Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger and the receiver is drilled and tapped for optics. A good optic pairing under $1,000 for this platform is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 2.5-10×44, which offers enough magnification and durable construction for varmint work and target shooting.

Applications: varmint hunting and precision small-bore target shooting.
