About This Firearm
The Savage 110 Hunter is a synthetic-stocked bolt-action .30-06 Springfield built for all-round big game hunting. Savage no longer makes it, so it is a used buy. Its stock adjusts for fit through AccuFit, a set of comb risers and butt spacers that change comb height and length of pull, so the rifle can be set to the shooter.
It has no sights and no muzzle thread, and the receiver is drilled and tapped, so a base, rings and a scope are all purchases. The AccuTrigger is set at 2.5 lbs and the owner can adjust it from there. The magazine holds four rounds, and a three-position safety sits at the rear of the action.
If you're cross-shopping, the Ruger American Rifle Generation II has an MSRP of $769, is in production, weighs 6.4 lbs against the Savage's 7.50 lbs and comes with a Picatinny base and a factory muzzle brake. A used Remington 700 ADL is the other synthetic .30-06 at used money, with a longer 24-inch barrel and no stock adjustment at all, and Remington has ended that one too. On a used 110 Hunter, check that the AccuFit spacers and comb risers are still with the rifle, because they are small parts that go missing.

Strengths & Limitations
- AccuStock secures the receiver along its whole length, which Savage describes as holding the action three dimensionally in the stock.
- Matte black over carbon steel hides the handling marks a used rifle collects, and the synthetic stock has no finish to wear through.
- The safety's middle position blocks the trigger but still lets the bolt be opened and cycled, so the chamber can be cleared with the trigger locked.
- Savage has ended the model, so AccuFit comb risers and butt spacers for it come from a parts counter and not off a shelf.
- The barrel is unthreaded with a plain crown, so a brake or a suppressor means having it cut.
- A used rifle may have had its AccuTrigger set down to its floor by a previous owner, and nothing shows where it sits until the pull is measured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which scope bases fit it?
Savage long action bases. The hole spacing is Savage's own, so a base has to be ordered for a Savage long action and not for a Remington 700.
What length of pull does it come set at?
13.75 inches as shipped, and the spacers in the box move it from there.
What does the full safe position lock?
The trigger and the bolt handle both. The bolt cannot work its way open while the rifle is carried on full safe.
