Savage Arms Model 42 Takedown-FDE

Savage Arms

Our company's founders didn't mess around, and their spirit of American, get-it done ingenuity has always been Savage Arms' driving force. All of our category-changing innovations have come from just such a place of principle. We're constantly looking ahead, finding new ways to leverage technology to push performance ever higher.

But we're not just a bunch of lab geeks, either. We're shooters. Hunters. Competitors. We know what makes or breaks a firearm's performance out there in the real world. And throughout the years, we've spent time listening to the best competitive shooters, sharing campfires with hunters and guides, and comparing notes with gun writers. That collaboration, that hands-on experience, has fueled the development of features and processes unlike any ever seen in gun manufacturing.

The results could not be clearer: Modern firearms stripped of pretense and gimmickry, leaving only muscular, no-nonsense engines of performance. Just like the people who use them. They're purposebuilt firearms that come out of the box bristling with special features you won't find from other manufacturers.

That's why holding a Savage in your hands is knowing what winning feels like. Whether you use them for recreational or competitive shooting, self-defense or hunting, every inch of our products is designed to give you an edge. What began with Arthur Savage back in 1894, continues stronger than ever today.
