About This Firearm
The Savage 110 Hunter is a synthetic-stocked bolt-action .270 Winchester built for big game hunting, which is the purpose Savage listed for it. Savage no longer makes it, so it is a used buy. Its AccuStock holds the action three-dimensionally along the stock's whole length, top and bottom as well as side to side.
Four rounds go into a detachable box magazine with an ambidextrous release. Nothing is fitted to the receiver, which is drilled and tapped and takes a two-piece base or a one-piece rail. The AccuFit kit sets the rifle to the shooter, with comb inserts for cheek height and butt spacers that shorten the 13.75-inch length of pull by about an inch. The muzzle is not threaded, so a brake or a suppressor means barrel work.
If you're cross-shopping, the Remington 700 ADL is also out of production and gives up all of the fit adjustment, though it has 2 inches more barrel. The Ruger American Rifle Generation II is the new rifle in this slot at an MSRP of $769, 1.0 lb lighter, with a threaded and braked 20-inch barrel and its scope base already on. The Savage's extra weight sits in the barreled action, and it shows at the shot.

Strengths & Limitations
- The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from 2.5 lbs upward, so a hunting pull can be set without a gunsmith.
- The fore-end and pistol grip carry a soft overmoulded grip surface for wet hands.
- Two sling studs are already fitted to the stock.
- A used one may be missing the AccuFit combs and spacers, which came packed with the rifle and are easy to lose.
- No scope base was listed for it, so the mount is the buyer's problem on top of the rifle.
- The bolt release sits underneath the action, so taking the bolt out means reaching below the rifle for it.

Is the barrel threaded?
No. Savage lists this rifle as unthreaded, so a brake or a suppressor means sending the barrel out to be cut.
How far does the length of pull adjust?
Down about an inch from 13.75 inches, by taking spacers out from behind the recoil pad. Comb height changes separately with the AccuFit inserts.
What does the magazine feed from?
A detachable box, released with an ambidextrous catch, so it drops out with either hand.
