Precision and reliability are non-negotiable when selecting a bolt-action rifle for predator work and long-range varmint tasks. A platform that balances an accurate barrel, a crisp trigger, and a stable stock gives you repeatable performance in the field and on the range.

SAVAGE ARMS PREDATOR HUNTER is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor designed to deliver that balance. Shop this product

Overview

The SAVAGE ARMS PREDATOR HUNTER pairs a 24-inch fluted, medium-contour carbon steel barrel with a short-action receiver for fast cycling and predictable harmonics. The barrel’s 1:8 twist is optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor bullets commonly used for precision predator and long-range work. The rifle ships with two-piece Weaver-style bases for optic mounting and a 4-round detachable box magazine (4+1 capacity).

Action, Trigger, and Stock

Savage’s AccuTrigger offers user-adjustable pull from 1.5 to 6 pounds, allowing hunters to dial in a crisp, safe trigger for preferred shooting style. The AccuStock three-dimensional bedding system in the synthetic stock locks the action for consistent shot-to-shot accuracy. The stock finish uses Realtree Advantage Max-1 camouflage for effective concealment during stalks and stand hunting.

Barrel, Bolt, and Controls

The 24″ fluted heavy barrel aids heat dissipation and reduces weight while maintaining rigidity. Muzzle is not threaded; the oversized bolt handle speeds manual cycling during rapid engagements. Controls include a tang thumb safety and a black rubber recoil pad to manage felt recoil. Overall length is 43″, length of pull 14″, and unloaded weight is approximately 8.7 lbs.

Why 6.5 Creedmoor for Predator Hunting

6.5 Creedmoor delivers flat trajectories, high ballistic coefficients, and manageable recoil—qualities that make it a go-to choice for long-range precision and ethical shots on coyotes and other predators. The 1:8 twist barrel on this platform stabilizes a wide range of 6.5mm bullets, from lighter varmint rounds to heavier match-style projectiles for extended-range shots.
