Savage Arms kicked off in 1894 when inventor Arthur Savage founded the company in Utica, New York, after patenting a groundbreaking hammerless lever-action rifle that shook up the firearms world with its rotary magazine and reliable design. Starting with the Model 1895 (later the famous Model 99), they built a rep for affordable, innovative guns like the .300 Savage cartridge, expanding into handguns, ammo, and even military gear during both World Wars, cranking out machine guns and Thompson submachineguns. Today, headquartered in Westfield, Massachusetts, Savage Arms produces top-notch rimfire and centerfire rifles, shotguns under the Stevens brand, and accessories—all proudly made in America with a focus on accuracy, durability, and value for hunters, sport shooters, and pros.

Savage stays anti-woke by keeping its sights on timeless American craftsmanship and Second Amendment grit, with zero splashy DEI programs, rainbow campaigns, or social justice nods cluttering their site or history, just pure focus on building guns that work without the lectures. Interestingly, their wartime legacy of arming allies shows they've always prioritized real-world performance over performative politics, proving you can dominate the firearms game with innovation and reliability instead of chasing trendy equity checklists that might leave everyone debating instead of shooting straight.
