There are few that will dispute the long-range accuracy of the .338 Lapua. However, there is a challenge in harnessing the round’s precision.
The powerful and ballistically gifted cartridge is none too cheap, and neither are the rifles that shoot it. But Savage Arms is shooting to end the assault on the pocketbook of those who desire the utmost exactitude at distance.
The Massachusetts manufacturer has done this with the recent introduction of the Model 112 Magnum Target rifle. The platform offers the effectiveness of the .338 Lapua, but with a MSRP of $1,177 is much more affordable than most other options presently available.
Savage built the rifle around its single-shot Magnum Action and mated it with a number of other features to enhance accuracy. Some of these include a pillar-bedded heavy barrel and the company’s adjustable AccuTrigger, which can be dialed down to a pull weight of just 6 ounces.
The Model 112 Magnum Target rifle weighs in at 12 pounds and is 49.8 inches in overall length. It has a 26-inch barrel, which is button rifled — like all of Savages firearms. And the long-range instrument is outfitted with a grey wood laminate stock and comes with a muzzle break.

The spelling error was intentional. I see it DID get someone’s attention. : )
Gun Digest used to be a trusted resource. All it took was one spelling error to insure that it is not to be trusted any longer. If the editors at Gun Digest don’t know the difference between a muzzle “break” which I would assume really means a break action firearm, and a muzzle “brake”, which the Savage 112 Magnum Target clearly has, you don’t deserve any educated readers.
Thank you for your feedback, Greg. We always strive for perfection, but spelling mistakes can happen to the best of us, especially when dealing with homophones. For example, you wrote “insure” when you meant “ensure.” Regardless, we will continue to do our utmost to ensure our content is as error-free as possible. Have a nice day!
