About This Firearm
The Savage 110 Hunter is a synthetic-stocked bolt-action .308 Winchester built for big game hunting. Savage no longer makes it, so it is a used buy. Its AccuFit stock changes comb height and length of pull with spacers, up to 13.75 inches of pull, so the rifle can be fitted to the shooter.
It feeds from a detachable box magazine holding 4 rounds, and the AccuTrigger is adjustable by the owner from the 2.5 lbs Savage lists. The receiver is drilled and tapped but no base comes with the rifle, and the muzzle is not threaded. At full safe the three-position safety blocks the trigger and the bolt, and its middle position blocks the trigger while the bolt still cycles, so a live round can be cleared without coming off safe.
If you’re cross-shopping, the Ruger American Rifle is a used buy as well, 1.13 lbs lighter, and it came with a Picatinny base on the receiver. The Bergara B-14 Ridge is still made, has an MSRP of $999 and carries a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, with a 20-inch barrel and an internal box magazine with a hinged floor plate. Neither of those stocks adjusts to the shooter the way the Savage’s does.

Strengths & Limitations
- AccuStock secures the action three-dimensionally along its entire length, which is more support than a plain synthetic stock gives.
- The barrel is button rifled carbon steel with a matte black finish.
- A detachable magazine means the rifle unloads by dropping the box out instead of working rounds through the chamber.
- No scope base comes with it, so a rail and rings go on top of the price of a used rifle.
- The muzzle is not threaded, so a brake or a suppressor means sending the barrel out.
- AccuFit reaches 13.75 inches of pull at its longest setting, which is a standard adult length and no more, so a tall shooter has nothing left to add.
