Savage Arms Partners with Federal Ammunition on New 7mm Backcountry Cartridge Introduction

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – January 8, 2025 – Savage Arms®, an iconic firearm manufacturer, has teamed up with Federal Ammunition to produce rifles chambered in Federal’s new 7mm Backcountry Cartridge. 

Savage Arms has long boasted a wide array of rifles built for backcountry hunting. These lightweight, rugged hunting rifles are able to traverse a wide array of environments and withstand the toughest elements, all while delivering the on-target performance required to successfully punch all types of big game tags. The all-new 7mm Backcountry pairs perfectly with Savage’s lineup of rifles built to withstand the rugged wild.

 

“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 7mm 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.”

 

Initial Savage rifles (listed below) chambered in 7mm Backcountry will include a variety of Model 110s, including the Ultralite, Ultralite Elite, Pro Pursuit Rifle, Timberline and Trail Hunter Lite. Certain models will be offered in both right and left-hand models. The Savage Model 110 has been trusted by hunters and shooters for decades. Each of these rifles chambered in 7mm Backcountry feature Savage’s revolutionary AccuTrigger, allowing hunters to adjust the trigger pull weight between 1.5-6 pounds depending on the model.
