Platform highlights

The SAVAGE ARMS 516 is a bolt-action pistol chambered in .243 Winchester. Its heavy/target profile barrel promotes stable harmonics and consistent group sizes, and the bore is reported clean and free of pitting—critical for maintaining accuracy over time. The action shows smooth bolt travel and reliable cycling, characteristics shooters expect from Savage Arms designs.

Stock and ergonomics

Equipped with a synthetic stock and an ergonomic grip, the pistol is lightweight and durable for field use. The stock shows no cracks or repairs, which preserves handling and pointability—especially important for off-hand or supported shooting from unconventional positions.

Optics and sights

Sight mounts for a scope are present on this example, allowing you to equip optics appropriate for varmint work or precision plinking. The pistol layout and target barrel pair well with low- to medium-power scopes to maximize target acquisition and accuracy.

Condition and value

This SAVAGE ARMS 516 is used but in very good cosmetic and mechanical condition. There are light scratches on the muzzle end of the barrel but no dents or gouges; the finish remains in very good shape. At $799.99, it represents a solid value for a heavy-barrel .243 pistol with a clean bore and smooth action.
