Savage 110 PPR

The 110 Action in a Chassis: Why It Works

The Savage 110 action is one of the most accurate production bolt-actions ever made, with a floating bolt head design that headspaces off the barrel rather than the receiver — producing consistent, repeatable accuracy that competitors often pay to replicate with custom work. Moving it into a precision chassis unlocks everything the barreled action is capable of by eliminating the accuracy-limiting flex and pressure point variations of a traditional stock. The 110 PPR’s chassis provides a rigid, fully adjustable platform that allows the action to perform at its maximum potential while giving the shooter a fully adjustable fit.

AICS Magazine Compatibility

The 110 PPR uses AICS (Accuracy International Chassis System) pattern magazines — the most widely adopted standard in the precision rifle world. AICS-compatible magazines from AI, Magpul, MDT, and others all work in the PPR, giving shooters access to the broadest range of precision rifle magazine options available. The detachable box magazine system speeds reloading compared to internal magazines and allows positive confirmation that the rifle is unloaded during administrative handling. For Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competitors and tactical applications, AICS compatibility is a meaningful practical advantage.

Folding Stock and Adjustability

The 110 PPR’s stock folds at the chassis hinge for compact transport and storage, then locks into a rigid firing position. Length of pull and comb height are both adjustable, allowing the rifle to be properly fitted to shooters across a wide range of body types and shooting positions. A properly fitted rifle — cheek weld consistent, eye relief correct, trigger accessible without muscling the rifle — shoots noticeably better than one that requires the shooter to adapt to its geometry. The PPR’s adjustability means it can be optimally configured for both prone competition shooting and the seated or supported positions common in hunting applications.

AccuTrigger: Savage’s Competitive Advantage

The AccuTrigger is Savage’s patented user-adjustable trigger system, and it remains one of the best factory precision rifle triggers available at any price. The user-accessible adjustment screw allows pull weight to be set from approximately 1.5 lbs to 6 lbs without gunsmith work, and the AccuRelease safety mechanism prevents the trigger from firing unless properly actuated — allowing very light pull weights without the accidental discharge risk that would otherwise accompany them. For precision rifle competition where trigger quality directly affects shot consistency, the AccuTrigger’s adjustability gives shooters a factory precision trigger without the $200–$400 aftermarket investment other platforms require.

6.5 Creedmoor vs. .308: Choosing Your PPR

The 110 PPR is available in both 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester. The 6.5 Creedmoor is the current consensus choice for precision rifle competition — better ballistic coefficient, flatter trajectory, less wind drift at long range, and lower recoil than .308. It’s the dominant cartridge in PRS and similar competition formats. The .308 remains the more practical choice for applications where ammunition availability matters most — it’s stocked at virtually every gun store and available in military surplus. For competition, 6.5 Creedmoor. For everything else where logistics matter, .308.
