New Savage 110 Ultralite with Proof CF Barrels

[Mike D Texas]

I'm not crazy about a Savage rifle but this looks to be a heck of a deal.

I think it's funny many here have said they're "not fond, or not a fan of Savage rifles" but you put a Proof Barrel on it and that changes everything? The Blue printed action by Savage has been offered on a few setups in the past as I own 2 of them. Anyways..... every Savage in my safe (4) shoots sub MOA. 6.5-284, 308, 6.5 Creedmoor and 300WSM.

I own a 110 light weight hunter and I'll never buy another Savage. The head failed on my bolt. The ejector and the extraction both froze in my bolt head unable to be removed. I contacted Savage and they sent me two new pins to replace the frozen one. They would not fix or replace the bolt head. I ended up buying an aftermarket bolt head. Thanks but no thanks Savage.

I have a HS Precision FCP 110 that I changed over to a 25-06 and it shoots lights out with 110 accubonds. Can't beat it.

agree. Game changermcllan took the savage stocks down. Won't build anything for a savage in edge fill any longer.

Oh man that's too bad. Do you know why? And I could buy I blank I suppose and have my smith inlet it.

 

[Backcountry_IDN]

What does a McMillan run for a savage 110?

Fully inletted around 6-900 depending on stock option. You can find used ones for around 5ish. That's what I did.

I'm just sitting here wondering why anyone would hate on a 22" barrel 280AI. And I wish this came lefty for my buddy. He is in the market for something like this and kicking around the Bergara, Hells Canyon..... Also, I can' t believe it doesn't come in 300PRC.

Need a left handed version and I might buy my first Savage.

I have 6 savages. Lapua-rums creedmoors. I have packed a lot of meat into the freezers with them. I am completely content with how they shoot and had no reason to spend more money on another rifle. I really did not need to know about this. Crap.

Them going after this market may make some of the other CF users to think about their pricing. Ie, Christensen, Fierce, etc....

Yep! That's the beauty of competition, it has the potential to drive the price down, and end-users raking the benefits.

Barrel is OK...action and stock are nothing to write home about. Add doesn't say anything about Accustock, Aluminum bedded or fiberglass bedded which is what defines accuracy. Proof barrels are not the best in the Fiberglass barrel market, they have simply made a name for themselves by mass producing barrels for mass produced rifles. Waste of money IMHO.

Christensen is already getting cheap...they have the Titanium Ridgeline and Mesa rifles for darn good prices...but they can always be cheaper

No fiberglass in any Proof barrel...or in any other carbon fiber barrel...

I don't know that they are tolerant of 1:8 barrels like this Savage has. Plus, it isn't just about the jump, it is about stuffing the long bullet down in the case.

I've not tried the 156s but 153s have been giving me amazing results in a 1:8. I don't think I'd let the twist rate scare me away If i wanted one of these in a prc.
