A Legacy of Craftsmanship, Reimagined

Founded by Arthur Savage in 1894, our story began with rugged, reliable firearms that generations of hunters and shooters relied on. But heritage alone doesn’t define the present. Today’s Savage is something different—something better. While we respect our history, we’re no longer content with being known for “good enough.”

Today, our firearms are built for those who demand more—more accuracy, more performance, more innovation—without compromising value. Rifles, shotguns, and handguns are crafted for those who refuse to be limited by outdated labels.  We’ve infused cutting-edge technology into every firearm we make, proving that premium features don’t have to come with a premium price tag.

Innovation That Redefines Performance

When you pick up one of our modern firearms, you’re holding the result of decades of relentless innovation and engineering. Our proprietary technologies push the boundaries of accuracy, reliability, and shooter comfort. Here’s how we’re setting a new standard:

  • AccuTrigger: An adjustable trigger system offering a crisp, clean break for maximum precision, straight from the factory.
  • AccuStock: An aluminum bedding rail integrated into the forend of the stock for enhanced rigidity and improved accuracy.
  • AccuFit: An adjustable stock design with customizable length of pull and comb height inserts for a personalized fit.
  • DRIV Gas System: Advanced semi-auto shotgun technology exclusively available on the Renegauge, delivering reduced recoil and consistent cycling.
  • Hexlock: A six-lug bolt lockup system exclusively available on the Impulse straight-pull rifles. Designed for safety, the strength of the lockup allows the rifle to handle magnum cartridges and high-pressure rounds.
  • Quick Release Optics Plate: A streamlined system for rapid, secure optic changes, available on Stance XR handguns.
  • Delayed Blowback Action: Featured in our A22 Magnum and A17 rimfire rifle models, this system allows the rifle to chamber and fire higher-pressure rounds without needing an excessively heavy bolt or spring. This results in smoother cycling and better overall performance, even with cartridges that generate more pressure and recoil.
  • Floating Bolt Heads: The floating bolt head ensures that the bolt head perfectly aligns with the axis of the barrel each time a round is chambered. This eliminates the need for custom gunsmithing and gives shooters a more consistent action.
  • Headspace Control: The locknut, receiver, and barrel are all mated specifically for one another, allowing Savage to set headspace on each individual rifle to its absolute minimum for enhanced precision.
  • Precision Rifled Barrels: Savage uses specialized machinery and expert operators to ensure perfect bore consistency and twist rates. Our button-rifled barrels offer superior accuracy and minimal point-of-impact shift during extended shooting.

But it’s not about the features we offer or gunsmithing we do.  We’re not interested in keeping up. We’re here to lead the charge. We’re here to infuse technology and craftsmanship into every firearm bearing our name. We’re here to give hunters and shooters a firearm they can depend on in the field and trust in any situation.

We pride ourselves on offering a firearm for every shooter, no matter the pursuit or experience level. Whether you're a seasoned big game hunter in need of a precise bolt-action rifle or a waterfowler looking for a reliable shotgun, we have you covered.

From rimfire plinkers to centerfire precision tools, each model is designed with innovation and premium features built in—without breaking the bank. We make sure every shooter can find the right firearm ensuring unmatched value and capability across our entire lineup. This is not your grandpa’s Savage—these firearms are tailored for the modern sportsman, competitive marksman, and defender alike.

Unmatched Quality and Collaboration

Quality is never an afterthought for us. We partner with industry leaders to deliver the best components and finishes available. Our collaborations include:

Made with Pride in North America

The heart of our manufacturing lies in North America. The majority of our products are proudly crafted in Westfield, Massachusetts, USA, and Lakefield, Ontario, Canada. This commitment to local production ensures strict quality control and supports the communities where our firearms are made.

Breaking the Mold

What truly sets us apart goes beyond cutting-edge technology and a diverse lineup—it's the commitment to making exceptional firearms accessible to all shooters. Savage delivers advanced features, top-tier innovation, and unwavering quality in a way that remains within reach for everyday enthusiasts, including those new to shooting and seeking reliability from the start of their journey. Few manufacturers can match this balance of performance and craftsmanship while ensuring firearms remain attainable for a wide range of hunters and shooters.
