Savage 25 Lightweight Varminter-T | .204 Ruger | 24″ | 18529

The Savage 25 Lightweight Varminter-T is a right-hand, bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in .204 Ruger with a 24-inch button-rifled barrel and a fixed laminate thumbhole stock. It features Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger, a detachable 4-round box magazine, and a receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounts. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 for a balance of clarity and low‑magnification versatility suited to varmint work.
