Savage 7Mm Backcountry Lede

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. 

“We are excited to tap into the new 7mm Backcountry cartridge and its ability to offer magnum performance in a compact platform,” said RJ Contorno, senior product manager at Savage Arms. “The science of this cartridge brings technology and capabilities to our proven rifles. 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.”
