Big Game Hunters 

Looking for hunting gifts can be hard, especially for big game hunters. One thing every big game hunter loves is a new rifle to take on their next excursion to the field! Savage has a wide variety of excellent big game rifles for every hunter, from whitetail deer hunters to elk and mule deer hunters. 

• 110 Trail Hunter: Built to handle nature’s hardest, most rugged trails, the 110 Trail Hunter is an affordable and durable option for the hunter that puts miles on their boots every season. The 110 Trail Hunter is outfitted with a Hogue Overmolded stock that offers an excellent rubber surface for a secure grip. It features a tungsten Cerakote barreled action for a durable, corrosion-resistant finish and has a threaded barrel for attaching muzzle devices. The 110 Trail Hunter is available in a variety of popular big game calibers, making it an excellent all-around choice for almost any deer hunter.
• Axis 2 Pro: The Axis 2 Pro is the peak of the next-generation Axis. It’s built with a new ergonomic stock design that takes comfort in the field and on the range to the next level, and features a new and improved bolt handle design that’s easy to operate in inclement weather. It’s a sharp-looking rifle, with gun metal bronze Cerakote on the barrel and action, and three incredible Savage camo options with Woodland, Western, and Forest. Top it off with an included 0 MOA picatinny rail and a threaded barrel, and your hunter will be able to outfit the Axis 2 Pro with the perfect setup for their next hunt.
• 110 Ultralite: Backcountry hunters demand the best gear for their hunts, and their rifle is no different. The 110 Ultralite is built to lighten your load across the mountains and plains, while maintaining superior accuracy and reliability. It features a Proof Research carbon fiber wrapped barrel, AccuStock with AccuFit adjustment, and has a threaded barrel for attaching a muzzle brake or suppressor. The bare rifle weighs just under 6 pounds, making long hunts and pack outs easier on your body. 

If your big game hunter is all set with their rifle setup, there are still plenty of great hunting gifts to choose from! Every hunter can use more gear and accessories, so here are a few great options to start with! 

• AccuCan AC30 BOB: The newest addition to the AccuCan line of suppressors, the AC30 BOB keeps your favorite hunter’s rifle suppressed and more compact. Its back-over-barrel design helps keep it 3 inches shorter than a comparable suppressor while maintaining effective sound suppression. They’re especially useful for backcountry hunters who want to keep their rifles' overall length shorter and more balanced for improved packing and shooting performance. 
• Tree stand harness: Safety is important in the woods, and there’s no better gift for the whitetail hunter than a tree stand safety harness. If your hunter’s harness is older, starting to fray, or they don’t have one, then getting a new harness is the perfect gift to help keep them safer in the stand. 
• Spare rifle magazine: It always helps to have a spare magazine! You never know when you’ll need it, especially on a multi-day backcountry hunt or out-of-state hunting trip. You can find spare magazines for nearly every Savage rifle over at our Basecamp web store! 

Perfect for Predator Hunters 

Predator hunters spend countless nights per year in the field. Their rifles see a lot of use, and if that rifle is several years old, it may be time for an upgrade. One of the best hunting gifts to get for your predator hunter is a purpose-built Savage rifle! 

• Impulse Predator: For fast follow-ups and reliable shots, the Impulse Predator is an excellent choice. The Impulse straight pull action is fast and reliable, allowing you to reload and get back on target faster, or move to the next target in a group of coyotes or hogs. It’s chambered in several popular predator hunting calibers, including 22-250 Remington, 223 Remington, 6.5 Creedmoor, and others, and accepts AICS magazines.
• 110 Carbon Predator: For the die-hard predator hunter, there’s no better choice than the 110 Carbon Predator. Built with a Proof Research carbon fiber wrapped barrel, stylish Granite AccuFit stock, and accepting AICS pattern magazines, the 110 Carbon Predator shoots like a dream. Available in a variety of predator hunting calibers, you won’t want to put it down and leave the stand.
• 110 Brush Hunter: Sometimes, the predators that are being chased are a little bit bigger. For large predators in tight spaces, the 110 Brush Hunter is the perfect choice. Featuring a stainless-steel barrel and action and adjustable iron sights, it’s an excellent brush gun for bear country. 

For the predator hunter that’s set with the Savage rifle they need, there are plenty of other accessories and gear options to check out! Here are a few great options. 

• Electronic callers: A predator hunter’s best friend has to be an electronic caller. This piece of kit is versatile, mimicking a wide variety of predator and prey animal noises. They’re typically small and easy to pack, so they can go with you from stand to stand easily and quickly.
• AccuCan AC30: These days, predator hunting with a suppressor is a must. The AccuCan AC30 is the perfect choice for keeping your rifle quiet and your position concealed. Rated for cartridges up to 300 Win Mag, the AC 30 is perfect for any predator cartridge and any rifle that has a 5/8x24 threaded barrel. 
• Lounge chair: Sometimes, predator hunts can take a while! Lounge chairs help predator hunters stay on stand longer and more comfortably, so they can have the opportunity to get more predators out of the field. 

Top Choices for Target Shooters

Maybe you're not just here looking for the perfect hunting gifts. Maybe you’re shopping for a die-hard paper puncher that dedicates their spare time to honing their craft on the range? Well, we haven’t forgotten about them! Here are a few great options for target shooters. 

• 110 Elite Precision: The 110 Elite Precision is accuracy and precision perfected. It’s built with an MDT ACC chassis for the ultimate adjustability to get the perfect fit on the range. It’s packed full of features for the die-hard target shooter or competitor, including a 20 MOA optics rail, an integrated ARCA rail on the chassis forend, a self-timing muzzle brake (short action calibers only), and a factory-blueprinted action. 
• A22 / B Series Timber Tactical: We built the Timber Tactical series with one goal in mind, comfortable precision for competitive rimfire shooters. They feature heavy spiral fluted barrels, 20 MOA rails, ergonomic Minelli stocks, and the B Series Precision features a Target AccuTrigger that adjusts down to 1.5 pounds.

Every target shooter loves to rep their favorite brands, and Savage shooters are no different! We have some awesome apparel options to choose from, plus a couple of other shooting accessories that will help improve accuracy on the range. 

• Savage apparel: If you want to rock your Savage style on the range, we’ve got plenty of options to choose from! Head over to the Savage Basecamp web store for shirts and hats to wear for your trips to the range. Most hats on the store are also hearing protection friendly, so you won’t have your muffs pushing down on that annoying button causing your a major headache.
• Savage bipod: The Savage bipod helps to keep your rifle steady on the range and in the field. Available with both sling stud and M-Lok attachment, it’s easily adjustable, sturdy, and reliable to help you get a more stable sight picture for more accurate shots on target. 
• Rear support bag:  Many target shooters will tell you that a rear support bag is a must have for effective shooting. Stabilizing the rear of your rifle is just as important as stabilizing the front, and having both ends of your rifle rock solid leads to more accurate shots downrange and a better day at the range. 

For the Bird Hunters

From turkeys to waterfowl, game bird hunters demand a lot out of their gear. Long hunts in harsh weather demand the best, and Savage shotguns bring it. If a new shotgun is on the list for hunting gifts this year, we’ve got a few great options to choose from.

The Renegauge comes in a variety of different models for waterfowl, turkey, and upland game bird hunting
• Model 555: The Model 555 is perfect for hitting the field for upland bird hunting. It’s a classic over/under design that features a lightweight aluminum receiver, making it easy to bring up and swing on target. There are several different 555 models available, including the 555 E with an automatic ejector, 555 Trap with a single trap barrel and adjustable comb height, and the 555 Sporting with 30 inch ported barrels, extended choke tubes, and comb height adjustability. 
• Model 560: The Model 560 is a great choice for bird hunters on a budget. It features a sleek Turkish walnut stock, oversized controls, and a lightweight aluminum receiver that make it easy to carry in and out of the field.

Bird hunters love their gear, and they often have plenty of it. If you’re looking for hunting gifts for the bird hunter that already has a reliable shotgun, there are a few choices you can look for that they’re sure to love. 

• Hunting vest: Every upland bird or turkey hunter needs a good vest. Options are plentiful for each type of hunting, with vests ranging from simple budget options to all-out technical pieces of gear. If you’re getting an upland hunting vest, make sure there’s some orange on the vest to help keep them visible! 
• Travel kennel: This hunting gift is great for your bird hunter and their canine companion. Vehicle travel kennels are great for protecting your pup in case the worse happens, as well as protecting the interior of your vehicle after a long, potentially muddy day in the field! 
• Turkey tote: This one is great for helping make the pack out of the woods easier on your turkey hunter. Turkey totes help easy the load of carrying a turkey over your shoulder, and it’s an inexpensive gift that can make a big difference for every turkey hunter.
