Engineered for precision and power, this rifle is the answer for anyone asking: "What is the best rifle for consistently hitting targets at 1000 yards and beyond?" or "How can I achieve sub-MOA accuracy with a .338 Lapua Magnum?" The Model 112 Magnum Target is a specialized tool, meticulously crafted to extract maximum range and unparalleled precision from one of the most potent long-range cartridges available today.

This rifle solves the core challenge of extreme long-range (ELR) shooting: delivering consistent, repeatable accuracy at distances where environmental factors become dominant and every minute detail of the rifle's construction matters. Whether you're a competitive ELR shooter aiming for the top of the leaderboard, a serious target enthusiast pushing the boundaries of your skill, or a specialized hunter seeking a highly ethical and precise tool for extreme distances, the Savage 112 Magnum Target provides the robust and reliable foundation you need.

Unleashing the Power of the .338 Lapua Magnum

At the heart of the Savage 112 Magnum Target's formidable capabilities lies its chambering in the .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge. Renowned globally as a premier long-range caliber, the .338 Lapua Magnum is celebrated for its flat trajectory, high muzzle velocity, and exceptional energy retention at extended ranges. Its ballistic performance allows shooters to confidently engage targets well past 1,500 yards, often pushing beyond 2,000 yards with skilled operators and ideal conditions.

The choice of the .338 Lapua Magnum isn't accidental; it's a deliberate selection for shooters who demand a cartridge capable of:

• Superior Energy Transfer: Ensuring effective impact even at extreme distances.
• Reduced Wind Drift: Due to its high Ballistic Coefficient (BC) projectiles, it’s less susceptible to crosswinds, a critical factor in ELR accuracy.
• Consistent Performance: Designed for precision, it delivers reliable performance shot after shot, crucial for competitive shooting or critical long-range applications.

This rifle is built from the ground up to harness this immense power with stability and accuracy, ensuring that every round sent downrange has the best possible chance of striking its intended mark, no matter how distant.

Precision Engineering for Unmatched Accuracy

The Savage Arms 112 Magnum Target (UPC 011356224484) is a testament to Savage Arms' dedication to accuracy. Every component is optimized to contribute to its singular purpose: unwavering precision.

The Heart of Accuracy: User-Adjustable AccuTrigger

One of Savage's most acclaimed innovations, the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, is a cornerstone of the Model 112's accuracy. This revolutionary trigger system allows shooters to customize the pull weight down to a remarkably light and crisp break without compromising safety.

• What problem does it solve? A light, consistent trigger pull is paramount for precision shooting. A heavy or inconsistent trigger can cause the shooter to pull the shot off target, even by fractions of an inch, which translates to yards at extreme distances.
• How does it help? By eliminating creep and overtravel, the AccuTrigger enables the shooter to achieve a clean, predictable break, minimizing disturbance to the rifle at the moment of firing. This predictable feel fosters confidence and allows the shooter to focus entirely on breath control and sight picture, directly translating into tighter groups.

The Foundation: Single-Shot Magnum Target Action

The Model 112 features a dedicated single-shot Magnum Target Action. Unlike repeaters, a single-shot action eliminates the magazine well, allowing for a stronger, more rigid receiver design.

• Why single-shot? In extreme precision disciplines, every bit of rigidity counts. The solid, unpierced bottom of the action enhances structural integrity, reducing flex and vibrations that could negatively impact accuracy.
• Benefits: This design contributes significantly to the rifle's inherent accuracy potential, providing an ultra-stable platform for the cartridge and barrel to perform optimally. It's a deliberate choice for competitive and dedicated target shooters who prioritize absolute precision over rapid follow-up shots.

Heavy, Button-Rifled Barrel: The Key to Consistent Ballistics

The rifle boasts a 26-inch, heavy carbon steel barrel that is button-rifled. This barrel design is critical for achieving and maintaining precision during extended shooting sessions.

• Heavy Profile: A heavier barrel profile resists heat buildup more effectively than lighter barrels. As a barrel heats up during firing, it can warp slightly, leading to "walking" groups. The heavy contour of the Model 112's barrel minimizes this thermal expansion, maintaining consistent accuracy even during a high shot count.
• Button Rifling: Savage Arms is renowned for its button-rifled barrels, a manufacturing process known for producing highly consistent and accurate bores. This ensures uniform bullet spin and trajectory.
• Threaded Muzzle: The barrel is threaded (11/16"x24 thread pattern), ready for the integrated muzzle brake or other compatible muzzle devices.

Taming the Beast: Integrated Muzzle Brake

Recoil management is crucial with a powerful cartridge like the .338 Lapua Magnum. The Savage 112 Magnum Target comes standard with an integrated muzzle brake.

• How it works: The muzzle brake redirects propellant gases to the sides and rear, significantly reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise.
• Shooter Outcomes: This not only enhances shooter comfort but also allows for quicker target reacquisition for follow-up shots (though it's a single shot, quick reacquisition is vital for spotting your own hits/misses). Reduced recoil also prevents shooter fatigue, enabling longer, more productive practice sessions and better performance under pressure.

Robust Receiver and Rail System

The steel receiver of the 112 Magnum Target is drilled and tapped and features an integrated Picatinny rail.

• Optics Ready: The Picatinny rail provides a rock-solid mounting platform for high-magnification optics, which are indispensable for ELR shooting. This universal mounting system ensures compatibility with a vast array of precision scope rings and accessories.
• Durability: Crafted from robust steel, the receiver is built to withstand the immense pressures generated by the .338 Lapua Magnum, ensuring long-term durability and consistent performance. The matte black finish not only provides a sleek appearance but also offers enhanced corrosion resistance.

Ergonomic Stability: Gray Laminate Fixed Wood Stock

The rifle's gray wood laminate fixed stock is designed for optimal balance and shooter interface.

• Stability: The fixed stock provides a stable shooting platform, crucial for minimizing shooter-induced errors. Its substantial weight contributes to the overall stability of the rifle, aiding in recoil absorption and balance.
• Ergonomics: The design of the stock ensures a comfortable and consistent cheek weld and grip, essential for maintaining proper shooting form over extended periods. The balance achieved between the heavy barrel and the stock makes the rifle feel surprisingly manageable despite its substantial weight (approximately 12 lbs).
• Aesthetics and Durability: The gray laminate offers both a distinctive aesthetic appeal and enhanced durability compared to traditional solid wood, resisting warping and environmental changes.

Who Benefits from the Savage 112 Magnum Target?

This rifle is specifically tailored for individuals who are serious about pushing their long-range shooting capabilities.

• Competitive ELR Shooters: For those participating in competitions that demand hits at extreme distances (e.g., King of 2 Miles, F-Class Open, Precision Rifle Series ELR matches), the 112 Magnum Target provides a solid, competition-ready foundation.
• Long-Range Target Enthusiasts: If your passion is to consistently hit steel plates at 1,000 yards, 1,500 yards, or even farther, and you crave the ultimate precision tool to achieve that, this rifle is an exceptional choice.
• Specialized Hunters: In certain jurisdictions and for specific game, the .338 Lapua Magnum, paired with the precision of the Model 112, can be an ethical choice for very long-range hunting scenarios, provided the shooter has the requisite skill and practice.
• Precision Rifle Builders/Enthusiasts: Those who appreciate a factory rifle that delivers custom-grade accuracy out of the box will find the 112 Magnum Target a compelling option.

Achieving Your Long-Range Goals with the Model 112

Owning a Savage 112 Magnum Target is the first step towards mastering extreme long-range shooting. To maximize its potential, consider these factors:

• High-Quality Optics: Invest in a high-magnification scope with excellent light transmission, precise adjustments (e.g., exposed turrets with clear clicks), and a reticle suitable for long-range holdovers or dialing.
• Premium Ammunition: Consistent ammunition is critical. Whether handloading or using factory match-grade ammunition, ensure consistency in bullet weight, powder charge, and primer.
• Stable Shooting Platform: Utilize a robust bipod and rear bag, or shoot from a stable bench rest, to eliminate wobble and allow the rifle to perform its best.
• Data Collection: Understand your rifle's ballistic performance (velocity, drop, wind drift) with your chosen ammunition at various distances. Use ballistic calculators and environmental data to make precise adjustments.
• Practice, Practice, Practice: Consistent practice at varying distances, coupled with proper shooting fundamentals (trigger control, natural point of aim, breath control), will unlock the full potential of both you and the Savage 112 Magnum Target.
