About This Firearm
Savage's AccuFit stock is the defining spec on the 110 High Country: LOP adjusts between 12.75 and 13.75 inches using included spacers, and the comb height adjusts independently. Most rifles in this price range offer a fixed stock or a single spacer under the buttpad — the High Country lets you dial in fit for both summer and winter hunting positions without spending anything extra.
The AccuTrigger comes set at 1.5 lbs and is adjustable up to 6 lbs without a gunsmith. At 1.5 lbs, it is among the lightest factory triggers in a production hunting rifle, lighter than the Bergara B-14 HMR's 3.4 lb single-stage and noticeably different in character. The 22-inch spiral-fluted barrel in Midnight Bronze Cerakote adds some corrosion resistance for wet-season mountain hunting, and the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle means a suppressor or brake threads on without an adapter. At 129.6 oz (8.1 lbs), it's not a featherweight, but the weight is mostly in the action and barrel rather than the stock.
The High Country is a good fit for a hunter who has outgrown a basic factory trigger and wants to fit the rifle to their body rather than the other way around. Before zeroing, adjust LOP for your jacket-on hunting position — this is the one time where getting LOP right matters more than any other setting, and the AccuFit system makes it the easiest step in the build.

Strengths & Limitations
- The LOP delta from a summer t-shirt to a winter parka is roughly half an inch — owners who hunt across seasons commonly report swapping the AccuFit spacers between trips without needing to rezero.
- The AccuTrigger adjusts from 1.5 to 6 lbs without disassembling the rifle, putting the user in control of the pull weight that suits their shooting style — a feature most factory triggers in this price range do not offer.
- Spiral-fluted stainless barrel with Midnight Bronze Cerakote gives meaningful corrosion resistance for pack-in backcountry conditions where the rifle gets wet and stays wet.
- At 129.6 oz (8.1 lbs), it is on the heavier end for a backcountry hunting rifle. Hunters doing serious vertical gain would find purpose-built lightweight options more practical.
- The 4-round detachable box magazine is standard for a hunting rifle but limited if you want a double-stack precision setup. The High Country is out of current production, so magazine sourcing may require extra attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the AccuFit system actually adjust, and how long does it take?
AccuFit adjusts two things independently: length of pull (via spacers that click into the buttstock, ranging from 12.75 to 13.75 inches) and comb height (via interchangeable comb risers that change your cheek weld height for scoped use). The adjustment takes about 5 minutes with no tools for LOP — you pop the buttpad, stack or remove spacers, and reinstall. Comb swaps are similar. Most owners do it once at setup time and leave it.
Is the AccuTrigger safe at 1.5 lbs for hunting carry?
Yes. The AccuTrigger has a small blade-within-the-trigger design that acts as a drop safety — the rifle won't fire from an impact or from moving the safety without also pressing the inner blade. The 1.5 lb pull feels very light compared to most factory hunting triggers, so if you've only shot 4–5 lb triggers before, it's worth a range session to build muscle memory before the field.
The High Country is listed as out of production. Should that affect buying it?
It affects parts availability over time but not immediate usability. The 110 platform is one of the most common bolt actions in the US, so most serviceable parts (stocks, triggers, bolts) are widely available. The specific AccuFit comb and LOP spacers are Savage-proprietary, so buying a spare set when you purchase the rifle is worth considering. Magazines use the standard Savage 110 AICS-style detachable box and are easy to source.
