About This Firearm
The Savage 110 High Country is a camo-stocked bolt-action 6.5mm Creedmoor built for hunting big game in weather. Savage no longer makes it, so it is a used buy. Its stainless barreled action wears Midnight Bronze Cerakote, the barrel and bolt are spiral fluted, and the muzzle comes threaded 5/8x24.
The receiver is drilled and tapped with nothing fitted to it, so a base, rings and a scope come before the rifle can be aimed. AccuFit sets comb height and length of pull with loose spacers and cheek risers, from a starting length of 13.75 inches. The AccuTrigger goes down to 1.5 lbs with a screwdriver. A thread cap covers the muzzle on this chambering, because Savage put the taperlock muzzle brake on the magnum calibers instead.
If you're cross-shopping, a used Browning X-Bolt Hunter is 1.60 lbs lighter in walnut, with no muzzle thread at all and Browning's own base pattern to buy into. A used Weatherby Vanguard is 0.60 lbs lighter on a 24-inch barrel and carried a written sub-MOA guarantee. Against both of those, a suppressor on this rifle needs nothing but the tax stamp.

Strengths & Limitations
- AccuStock secures the action three-dimensionally along its entire length, so the bedding is part of the stock instead of a job to have done.
- The AccuTrigger's blade safety lets a factory trigger be set this light, and setting it needs no gunsmith.
- The thread is the common 5/8x24 pattern for 6.5mm muzzle devices, so a brake, a cap or a mount needs no adapter.
- At 8.10 lbs before an optic, it is heavier than the name suggests.
- The AccuFit kit is loose parts, so a used rifle often turns up with whichever spacers and risers the last owner left in it.
- On a used one the receiver holes have been torqued by somebody else, so pull the base and check the threads before mounting anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
What twist rate is the barrel?
1:8, the standard 6.5 Creedmoor rate, which handles the long high-BC bullets the cartridge is loaded with.
What does the three-position safety do?
It gives a middle position where the trigger is locked but the bolt still cycles, so the chamber can be emptied without putting the rifle in the fire position.
Is the barreled action stainless all the way through?
Barrel and receiver are both stainless steel under the Cerakote, so the Cerakote is a second layer of protection and not the whole of it.
