Description
I was on a 1,200-yard steel plate range in central Missouri, wind flags dancing, and the guy next to me was struggling to get his factory rifle to group. He was shooting a capable cartridge, but the platform just wasn’t up to the task. That’s the exact scenario the Savage 10/110 Long Range Hunter 338 Lapua Magnum, 26″ Barrel, AccuFit Gray Stock, 5 rd was built to dominate. It’s a purpose-built, long-range rifle system that delivers extreme accuracy without a custom shop price tag, and it’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Here’s the thing—the .338 Lapua Magnum isn’t a plinking round. It’s a serious cartridge for serious distances, and this Savage is the tool that harnesses it effectively. I’ve put a couple of boxes of Hornady Match ammo through this configuration, and the out-of-the-box accuracy is what sells it. The action is smooth for a Savage, the barrel is free-floated and button-rifled, and the whole package comes together in a way that inspires confidence when you’re dialing for elevation. At a price point of $1072.62, it represents a staggering value in the world of long-range capable magnums.
Built for the Shot, Not the Safe
The heart of this system is the Savage 110 action, a proven design that’s been the foundation for countless accurate rifles. This one is scaled for the massive .338 Lapua cartridge. The 26-inch carbon steel barrel provides the necessary velocity to keep that heavy, high-BC bullet supersonic well past where smaller calibers give up. It’s topped with a Picatinny rail, ready for your choice of long-range optic. I mounted a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50, and it was a perfect, no-gunsmithing-required fit. The two-stage AccuTrigger is a genuine asset; it’s crisp, adjustable, and eliminates any guesswork when the shot breaks.
The AccuFit system is where Savage really gets it right for the end user. That gray stock isn’t just for looks. You can adjust the length of pull and comb height with included spacers and cheek risers. This means you can tailor the fit to your body and your optic setup, ensuring a consistent, repeatable weld every time you get behind the rifle. A proper fit is non-negotiable for precision, and Savage bakes it right in. The stock itself is a stiff, pillar-bedded synthetic that keeps the action stable, and it comes with swivel studs and a generous forend for use with bipods like the popular Harris S-BRM or a Magpul bipod.

The Straight Talk: Pros & Cons
Pros: The accuracy-per-dollar ratio is exceptional. The AccuFit system is a legitimate game-improver. The rifle is completely ready for a scope and bipod right out of the box. The .338 Lapua platform gives you legitimate 1,500+ yard capability on steel or for ethical hunting at extreme ranges. The detachable magazine is a welcome feature for a magnum bolt gun.
Cons: Ammunition cost is high—this is not a cheap rifle to feed. Recoil is substantial, though the stock design and weight help manage it. It’s a long, heavy rifle meant for positional or supported shooting, not stalking through thick timber. The 9.8-pound weight, before optics, demands a solid shooting rest.
Who This Rifle Is For
This Savage is for the shooter who has graduated from .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor distances and wants to reach further with authority. It’s for the serious long-range enthusiast who wants a turn-key .338 Lapua solution without a $4,000 price tag. It’s also a viable option for hunters pursuing large game in open, mountainous terrain where shots may exceed 500 yards. If you’re budget-conscious but performance-driven, this is your entry point into the world of elite long-range cartridges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .338 Lapua Magnum overkill for deer hunting in Missouri?
A: For typical Missouri whitetail ranges, absolutely. This cartridge is designed for distances and game size far beyond our local woods. It’s better suited for elk, moose, or long-range target shooting.
Q: What kind of optic mount does it use?
A: The rifle comes with a Picatinny scope rail already installed. You’ll need to pair it with matching Picatinny rings, like those from Vortex, Leupold, or Warne, to mount your scope securely.
Q: Can the stock be adjusted for a left-handed shooter?
A: The specific AccuFit stock on this model is configured for a right-handed action. Savage does offer left-handed actions in other configurations, but for this exact Long Range Hunter model, it’s right-hand only.
Look, if you’ve been eyeing the capabilities of the .338 Lapua but been turned off by the typical cost of entry, this Savage 10/110 Long Range Hunter is the most logical path forward. It provides a robust, accurate, and adjustable platform that lets you focus on learning the cartridge, not fixing the rifle. See the full details and availability on our site.
