Savage Firearms Have a History of Innovation & ValueAs is true with many gun companies, there is often an interesting story to be found beneath the surface as you probe some of the company's history. This is especially true of the Savage firearms company. Savage Arms was started by Arthur Savage in Utica, New York in 1894. Arthur himself had an interesting life. Born a Jamaican and schooled in both the US and England, Arthur led a colorful life. While exploring in Australia, he was held captive by a group of natives for a year. Arthur owned the largest cattle ranch in Australia for a while. He was also in charge of a railroad company for a while in New York. He even helped invent a torpedo! As was already stated, Arthur led an unusual and interesting life. Where Arthur moved into the firearms industry was when he invented the first hammerless lever action rifle with a rotary magazine within the receiver. A factory was set up in Utica, NY. The rifle would become known as the Model 99. This innovative design displayed a counter to show how many rounds were left in the magazine. In 1919, an Indian chief sought to purchase a number of lever action rifles from Savage. Arthur and the chief made a deal and the Indian tribe received guns for a discount in exchange for endorsing the Savage firearms company. This is when Savage started using the Indian chief's logo for their company.
Savage Model 99 Lever Action Rifle During WWI, through a series of mergers and acquisitions, Savage became the largest gun manufacturer in the United States and one of the biggest in the world. During WWII, Savage cooperated to produce millions of weapons for the war effort. The 1960's-1980's were a more difficult time for Savage. After being owned and sold by various corporations, the company finally underwent bankruptcy reorganization. By 1990, the Savage firearms company was doing better and it began to refocus on producing quality firearms for a reasonable price. By 1995, Savage was purchased and made a privately owned company again. Savage continues the tradition of trying to offer gun enthusiasts a quality gun with innovative features all for a reasonable price. In more recent times, Savage has developed an innovative trigger design that allows user adjustment of trigger pull force, while still incorporating safety features to help prevent accidental firing of the gun. Savage firearms include shotguns, rifles (both rimfire and centerfire), and muzzleloaders. Below is a picture of the Milano that is manufactured in Italy for Savage Arms. This attractive over/under shotgun closely resembles the famous Browning Citori over/under shotgun. The Milano is offered in 12, 20, 28, & 410 gauges.
A popular category of Savage firearms are their rifles. Savage offers a wide variety of rifles in many different calibers. Hunter and Varmint series of rifles provide accurate firearms at a reasonable price. In addition to centerfire rifles, Savage also offers a variety of rimfire rifles in .22 LR, .22 WMR, and .17 HMR.
Savage also produces muzzleloaders that offer hunters innovative designs that help make these muzzleloaders more powerful, accurate, and easier to use. These muzzleloaders are designed to be loaded with black powder, black powder substitutes, and even modern smokeless powders. Furthermore, these muzzleloader Savage firearms include the use of convenient 209 primers for reliable ignition, and Savage's patented adjustable trigger system.
With over a century of gun producing history, Savage offers hunters and recreational shooters some high quality choices at reasonable prices. Whether you are looking for a rifle, shotgun, or an advanced muzzleloader, Savage Firearms may have a gun that's a good match for you.
