The Savage 25 Walking Varminter .204 Ruger is a light bolt-action varmint rifle for hunters who cover ground between stands (Savage part no. 19156). At about 7 pounds it carries easily, yet the button-rifled, 22-inch carbon steel barrel delivers the accuracy Savage is known for. A rugged black matte synthetic stock and a user-adjustable AccuTrigger round out the package. A detachable four-round box magazine feeds the action. This Savage is a straightforward choice for coyotes, prairie dogs and other varmints.
