Savage 110

Trail Hunter—The Backcountry Choice

The Savage 110 Trail Hunter has quickly become one of the most popular lightweight hunting rifles available. It features a carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel that significantly reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity, a Hogue overmolded stock in a variety of camo patterns, and the AccuFit system for adjustable length of pull and comb height. In 6.5 Creedmoor the Trail Hunter weighs approximately 6 pounds—light enough for serious backcountry hunting without fatigue. The carbon-wrapped barrel also dissipates heat more effectively than steel, maintaining accuracy during extended shooting sessions. For hunters who cover miles on foot in pursuit of elk, mule deer, or mountain game, the Trail Hunter is one of the strongest values in the category.

110 Ultralite—Minimum Weight

The 110 Ultralite pushes weight reduction further, using a spiral-fluted carbon-steel barrel and a skeletonized carbon fiber stock to achieve weights as low as 5.9 pounds in standard calibers. The skeletonized stock removes material from non-structural areas without compromising the bedding or rigidity needed for accuracy. Available in popular mountain hunting calibers including 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, .280 Ackley Improved, and .300 WSM, the Ultralite covers the full range of North American big game at distances where mountain hunters are shooting. For sheep, goat, and high-country elk hunters who prioritize pack weight above everything, the 110 Ultralite is the Savage answer.

AccuTrigger—Savage’s Differentiator

The AccuTrigger is the feature that separates the 110 from competing bolt guns at the same price. Adjustable from 1.5 to 6 pounds without tools using the included adjustment tool, the AccuTrigger breaks crisply with no creep regardless of where it’s set. The AccuRelease feature—a blade within the trigger shoe that must be depressed for the trigger to fire—prevents accidental discharge even at very light pull weights. This allows the AccuTrigger to be set lighter than most competing adjustable triggers without safety concerns. A 2.5-pound AccuTrigger on a 110 Precision is factory-competitive with aftermarket triggers costing hundreds of dollars on other platforms.

110 Precision—Long-Range Competition

The 110 Precision is Savage’s purpose-built precision shooting platform, featuring an MDT LSS-XL chassis stock with AICS-compatible magazine, an adjustable length of pull and cheek piece, a threaded barrel, and a 20 MOA Picatinny rail. Available in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, and other precision calibers, the 110 Precision competes directly with the Bergara B-14 BMP and Ruger Precision Rifle at a similar price point. For PRS competitors and serious long-range hunters who want a factory chassis rifle without the cost of a custom build, the 110 Precision delivers genuine competition capability.

Barrel Replacement System

The 110’s user-replaceable barrel is one of its most underappreciated features. The barrel attaches via a barrel nut that can be removed and replaced with hand tools, allowing caliber changes, barrel replacements after wear, or upgrades to heavier or lighter profiles without gunsmithing. This system means a 110 owner can purchase additional barrels in different calibers and swap them in the field—one action serves multiple hunting or competition purposes. Savage and third-party manufacturers offer replacement barrels across dozens of calibers. For buyers who want long-term versatility from a single action, the barrel nut system is the 110’s most practical long-term advantage.
