About This Firearm
Savage discontinued the 110 Hunter, which means it now sells through remaining dealer stock and the used market at prices below its $879 MSRP. That makes it worth understanding: the 110 Hunter brought together three Savage systems that are genuinely useful — AccuFit for adjustable length-of-pull and comb height without aftermarket stocks, AccuStock for a pillar-bedded action, and AccuTrigger adjustable from 2.5 to 6 lbs out of the box. The result is a rifle that fits a wider range of shooters and arrives with a better trigger than most bolt-actions in this class.
The 22" button-rifled barrel at 1:10 twist handles standard .308 hunting loads and 175-grain match bullets equally well. The detachable 4-round box magazine with ambidextrous release is more practical than a hinged floorplate for fast reloads in the field. At 116 oz with a 42.25" overall length, it's not a light rifle, but the weight steadies the 3.5 lb recoil of .308 nicely. Reviewers consistently note that the AccuTrigger, even at its factory setting, breaks more crisply than the Remington 700's stock trigger at comparable pull weights.

Strengths & Limitations
- AccuTrigger adjustable from 2.5 to 6 lbs is better straight from the box than the Remington 700's factory X-Mark Pro, and you can tune it yourself with no gunsmith.
- AccuFit stock adjusts length-of-pull and comb height with included spacers — a feature that usually costs extra in aftermarket stocks on other platforms.
- Out of production — availability is limited to closeout dealer stock and the used market. Parts and warranty support may be harder to find going forward.
- At 116 oz, it's heavy for a sporter-class hunting rifle. Owners who pack it long distances notice it by mile two.
- The AccuStock is pillar-bedded but still a synthetic sporter — it won't free-float the barrel as cleanly as an aluminum chassis, which limits long-range accuracy potential compared to the 110 Tactical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Since the 110 Hunter is out of production, is it still worth buying?
It depends on the price. At or below closeout street pricing, the 110 Hunter is a strong value — you get AccuFit, AccuStock, and AccuTrigger together, which is a hardware package that Savage's current entry-level rifles don't match. The main risk is warranty support. Savage still services the 110 action, but if you need model-specific AccuFit spacers or the AccuStock bedding repaired, sourcing parts may take more effort. Buy it at a good price with eyes open.
Can the AccuTrigger be adjusted at home, or does it need a gunsmith?
Home adjustment. Savage designed the AccuTrigger to be tunable with the supplied AccuTrigger tool — a small plastic gauge that prevents you from setting the pull so light it becomes unsafe. The adjustment range on this model is 2.5 to 6 lbs. Most owners set it between 3 and 4 lbs for hunting, and lighter for benchrest. No gunsmithing or disassembly of the action is required.
