The firearms market in 2025 is a dynamic landscape, shaped by economic pressures, supply chain challenges, and evolving consumer preferences. One of the most significant factors impacting shooters today is the soaring cost of ammunition. Centerfire rounds, such as 9mm, 5.56, and .308 Winchester, have seen dramatic price increases due to raw material shortages, inflation, and high demand. For many enthusiasts, the expense of ammo has made frequent range trips or extended shooting sessions less accessible, pushing shooters to seek cost-effective alternatives without sacrificing the joy of the sport.

Long-range hunting is hot business, and Savage Arms knows it. This week at SHOT, they’ve announced they’re jumping on the new 7mm Backcountry cartridge, with several bolt-action rifles chambered in the innovative round from Federal.

Savage Arms revisited the scout rifle concept earlier in 2024 with the launch of the 110 Magpul Scout. Now they’re back at it again, launching new caliber options for that rifle.

Savage Arms has announced a new up-spec’d rifle just in time for 2024’s fall hunting season. The new Savage 110 Pro Pursuit is based on a familiar action, the 110-series pattern, but with several updates that should make it a much better shooter for the serious big game killer.
