In keeping with its history of producing rifles for backcountry hunting, Savage Arms has teamed up with Federal Ammunition to produce rifles chambered in Federal’s new 7 mm Backcountry Cartridge.

Hunters will be able to shoot faster, flatter and deliver more terminal energy on target with the 7 mm Backcountry. We’re going to have some fantastic hunting rifles ready to go in this exciting new chambering in 2025—including the recently introduced 110 Pro Pursuit Rifle (PPR) and our popular Timberline models as well.”
