Description
You’ve been saving for a proper hunting rifle, one that can reach out across a Missouri bean field or hold steady in a deer stand. You want accuracy without breaking the bank, a rifle that feels like it was made for you without a custom shop price tag. That’s the exact niche the Savage 10/110 Hunter, 6.5 Creedmoor, 24″, 4rd, AccuFit Gray Stock is built to fill. It’s a value-driven, long-range-capable bolt-action rifle centered on Savage’s proven 110 action, chambered in the flat-shooting 6.5 Creedmoor, and featuring a user-adjustable stock system for a custom fit at an off-the-rack price of $635.34.
Here’s the thing—for under $650, you’re getting a platform known for out-of-the-box accuracy and a feature set that directly tackles the two biggest hurdles for new hunters or budget-minded shooters: fit and cartridge performance. The 6.5 Creedmoor is the star here, offering manageable recoil and excellent ballistic performance that makes connecting at distance more achievable. With a 24-inch barrel, it efficiently uses the cartridge’s powder, helping you achieve higher velocities for a flatter trajectory. That means less guesswork on holdovers, which is a real confidence booster when a shot presents itself.
The core of this rifle’s value is the AccuFit system. How many times have you shouldered a store rifle and felt it was just a bit too long or the comb wasn’t quite right? This system lets you fix that yourself. With included comb height and length-of-pull spacers, you can tailor the stock to your body. This isn’t a gimmick; a proper fit is critical for consistent cheek weld and control, directly impacting accuracy. The best part? It’s drop-in ready. No gunsmithing required, just an Allen wrench and a few minutes of your time. The gray synthetic stock is durable and weather-resistant, perfect for the varied conditions you’ll face in the Midwest.
Driving this package is the Savage 110 action, a workhorse with a stellar reputation for reliability. It features a user-accessible, adjustable AccuTrigger, which allows you to set the pull weight to your preference—a huge upgrade over many budget rifles’ heavy, gritty triggers. The 4-round detachable box magazine is a practical touch for hunting, allowing for safe unloading and quick reloads if needed. Weighing in at approximately 7.5 lbs, it’s a manageable carry weight for all-day hunts without being so light that recoil becomes sharp.

Pros & Cons
The pros are clear: exceptional out-of-the-box accuracy potential for the price, the genuinely useful AccuFit system, and the ballistic advantages of the 6.5 Creedmoor in a 24-inch barrel. The adjustable AccuTrigger is another major win. The cons? The synthetic stock, while functional, won’t have the premium feel of a laminated wood or high-end composite. Some shooters may prefer a different finish. And while the 6.5 Creedmoor is widely available, it’s still generally more expensive per round than .308 Winchester—a tradeoff for its superior long-range performance.
Who is this rifle for?
This rifle is ideal for the budget-conscious hunter who refuses to compromise on accuracy. It’s for the Missouri whitetail hunter looking to take ethical shots at extended ranges, the new shooter wanting a rifle they can grow into and adjust, or the seasoned marksman seeking a reliable, no-fuss backup rifle. If your priority is practical performance over prestige, this Savage delivers. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, with FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 6.5 Creedmoor a good deer cartridge for Missouri?
A: Absolutely. With proper ammunition selection, the 6.5 Creedmoor is an excellent, low-recoil choice for whitetail deer at any typical hunting range in the state. Its high ballistic coefficient bullets buck wind well and retain energy effectively.
Q: Can I mount a scope on this rifle?
A: Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts. You’ll need to purchase separate bases and rings. Popular one-piece mount options from brands like Warne or Weaver that fit a Savage 110 short action will work perfectly.
Q: How does the AccuTrigger compare to a standard trigger?
A: It’s a significant upgrade. The AccuTrigger is fully adjustable, typically down to a crisp, clean pull around 2.5 to 3 pounds. This eliminates the heavy, vague pull common on many entry-level rifles, giving you more control for precise shots.
If you’re ready for a hunting rifle that prioritizes precision and personal fit without a custom price, the Savage 10/110 Hunter represents a serious value. See the full details on our site.
