Savage Plans to Release New-for-2012 Rifles Next Week
Savage Arms will roll out its new 2012 line-up of firearms on November 2, 2011. That’s just a few days away. The initial release will be made via Savage’s Facebook Page.
Right now Savage is being very tight-lipped about the new product line. However, Savage posted a teaser showing a gun case marked “Classified” — challenging Facebook readers to guess what might be unveiled next week. So far, reader guesses include:
- An AR-type gun in .223 Rem AND 7.62×39.
- A big boomer in .408 Cheytac, .416 Barrett or 50 BMG.
- A single-shot Model 12 Target rifle in 6.5×47 LAPUA.
- A Mini-14 type rifle in 6.5 Grendel.
- A “Zombie Zapper” for use with Hornady’s Zombie Max ammo.
- A lightweight survival-type .22 LR rifle.
- A 300 AAC Blackout bolt-gun.
- A 17 Hornet Varminter.
What do you guys think? We suspect the “Classified” rifle will be a bolt gun with rails and a detachable magazine, possibly with a collapsible stock. Consumer interest in “tactical”-style rifles is very high right now. We can expect Savage to deliver something that caters to market demand.

I bet it is a revamped version of the Model 99, the best lever action rifle ever.
I think it will be a semi auto ar type 22lr. Id just about bet 5 bucks on it!!! Lee
A left hand single shot action so southpaws can enjoy an Eliseo S-1 rifle like everyone else !!!
More new substandard junk from Savage, yay….
For the money, Savage is hardly JUNK!!
I’ll bet Ron and his boys will come out with several things that will please the customers. I agree a left handed target action would be good. I have been asking for this since the target actions came out. I had heard from a fairly good source that Savage was going to quit selling just target actions as it was eating away into their target rifle sales. Hope this rumor is not true.
Substandard junk…..Tell Team Savage that on the f-class course. John S says that Savage is substandard junk, and on another thread bashes Barrett for their markup costs. Maybe he should change his screen name to Negative Nelly
Lets see ….Savage in .408 Cheytac …..Another substandard JUNK gun that will probably outshoot my 3 Weatherby rifles …my 5 Winchesters or my 9 Remington 700’s (Law Enforcment and Varmit guns).
I’ll take one!…Especially after I saw one just yesterday on TV shooting 2500 yards making hit after hit on an 18 inch steel plate!
John S… when some NOOB at the range hands you your @ss on a platter after outshooting you with this junk dont come in here whining!
