Savage Arms Corp – The Savage .300 Rifle

You can click on the photo above for a much larger view.

IT IS SAVAGE, with all the ballistics of the .30 Government 150 grain bullet—2, 700 foot velocity striking force 2,426 lbs. mid range trajectory 200 yards, 2.9 in.- and the preeminent Savage advantage of a soft nose Spitter bullet, handled in our action, without deforming the point.

And Listen! The Savage Feather weight models handle this cartridge. A 6 1/2 lb. gun that makes possibles at 1,000 yards, with a recoil so light that it makes target practice a delight and a hunting trip a pleasure.

You can pack this gun on the longest trail, stop in their tracks the Grizzlies of the Rockies, or the Man Eaters of the African Wilds, and not be muscle tired when you must place the bullet in the right spot.
