Key Features
- D.R.I.V. Gas System – Dual Regulating Inline Valve adjusts gas flow automatically for both high-brass and low-recoil loads. Why it matters: You can shoot light target loads for practice and heavy field loads for hunting without adjusting a thing.
- Adjustable TrueTimber Prairie Stock – Comb length and drop can be fine-tuned with included shims. Why it matters: A proper fit means less felt recoil and better accuracy for shooters of different sizes.
- 28″ Fluted Vent Rib Barrel – The fluting reduces weight while the vent rib aids fast target acquisition. Why it matters: Swinging on fast-moving birds or clays feels natural and balanced.
- Enlarged Controls – Oversized bolt release, bolt handle, and safety are easy to manipulate with gloves. Why it matters: No fumbling when your hands are cold or wet.
- 4+1 Capacity – Holds four shells in the magazine plus one in the chamber. Why it matters: Enough rounds for upland hunts or a round of sporting clays without constant reloading.
Who It’s For
The Savage Renegauge Prairie is ideal for families who want one shotgun that adapts to multiple shooters. Youth and smaller-statured shooters benefit from the adjustable stock, while experienced hunters appreciate the reliable cycling across shell types. It’s equally at home in a duck blind or on a skeet field.

FAQ
Does the Savage Renegauge Prairie cycle light target loads reliably?
Yes. The D.R.I.V. gas system automatically adjusts to lower-pressure loads, so 1-oz target loads cycle without hesitation. Many shooters report zero issues with 1145 fps shells.
Can I adjust the stock for a left-handed shooter?
The stock adjusts for comb height and drop, but the receiver is right-handed. Left-handed shooters can still use it comfortably with the enlarged safety.
What chokes does it come with?
The barrel is threaded for Beretta/Benelli Mobil chokes and includes IC, Mod, and Full tubes. You can swap them for aftermarket options.
Is the camo finish durable?
TrueTimber Prairie is a dip-coat applied over a synthetic stock. It holds up well to field use but can wear at contact points over time.
