Savage 10/110 High Country .300 WSM Hunting Rifle

Description

The Savage 10/110 High Country .300 WSM, 24″ Barrel, Accustock Camo Stock, 2rd is a purpose-built, long-range hunting rifle. It combines Savage’s reliable 110 action with a fluted 24-inch barrel chambered in the flat-shooting .300 Winchester Short Magnum, all housed in a lightweight, pillar-bedded AccuStock with a camouflage finish for serious mountain or plains hunting. This rifle is designed to deliver consistent, sub-MOA accuracy right out of the box without requiring a custom gunsmith’s budget.

Key Features

• AccuStock with Pillar Bedding: The aluminum chassis-style bedding system secures the action along its entire length, reducing flex and improving shot-to-shot consistency. The camo finish breaks up your outline in the field.
• Fluted 24″ Barrel in .300 WSM: The longer barrel maximizes the velocity of the potent .300 WSM cartridge for extended range, while fluting reduces weight and aids in cooling.
• AccuTrigger: Savage’s user-adjustable trigger allows you to set the pull weight to your preference, a feature often found on rifles costing hundreds more.
• Top-Loading, Bottom-Ejecting Action: Provides a clean, reliable feed and allows for easy scope mounting without interference from spent brass.

Here’s the thing—at a price point of $960.86, the High Country sits in a competitive space. You’re getting a rifle with features that directly challenge more expensive offerings from brands like Tikka and Browning. The real value is in the AccuStock system; it provides a level of stability and accuracy potential that typically requires aftermarket bedding work on other rifles in this class. That said, the .300 WSM is a powerhouse cartridge best suited for experienced shooters pursuing larger game at longer distances.

Who This Rifle Is For

This rifle is built for the budget-conscious hunter who refuses to compromise on long-range capability. It’s ideal for hunters targeting elk, moose, or bear in open country where shots can stretch beyond 300 yards. If you need a lightweight, accurate platform for Western hunts or open-field whitetail stands and want a rifle that’s drop-in ready for performance, the High Country makes a compelling case. It’s also a solid choice for shooters wanting to step up to a magnum cartridge without stepping into a custom rifle price bracket.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Excellent out-of-the-box accuracy potential due to the AccuStock. The adjustable AccuTrigger is a significant value-add. The .300 WSM cartridge offers superb ballistics for long-range hunting. The fluted barrel and synthetic stock keep weight manageable for packing into the backcountry. It represents a strong performance-per-dollar ratio.

Cons: The .300 WSM has significant recoil, which can be punishing for some shooters. Ammunition cost is higher than standard calibers like .308 Winchester, and availability can sometimes be spotty locally. The 2-round magazine capacity is limited, though typical for a dedicated hunting rifle. The camo pattern is fixed, unlike a dipped stock you might get from a custom shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the .300 WSM a good choice for a first-time rifle buyer?

A: Generally, no. The .300 WSM produces substantial recoil and muzzle blast, which can develop flinching habits in new shooters. It’s a specialized cartridge best suited for hunters who need its long-range, high-energy performance for large game. A shooter would be better served starting with a milder cartridge like .308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor to master fundamentals.

Q: Can I mount a scope directly to this rifle?

A: Yes. The Savage 10/110 action comes drilled and tapped for scope bases. You will need to purchase and install separate scope bases and rings, which are widely available from brands like Leupold, Warne, or Talley. The top-loading, bottom-eject design ensures your scope mount area is clear of ejecting brass.

Q: How does the AccuStock compare to a traditional bedded stock?

A: The AccuStock functions as an integrated aluminum bedding block that fully cradles the action. In practice, it often provides more consistent and rigid support than traditional glass or pillar bedding done at a gunsmith, and it’s a feature you get at the factory. It’s a major contributor to the rifle’s reputation for solid accuracy without additional gunsmithing costs.
