Description
I was glassing a bean field edge last fall, the wind just starting to pick up, when I spotted a coyote working the treeline at about 175 yards. That’s the exact scenario the Savage 10/110 Predator 223 Remington/5.56 NATO, 22″ Barrel, AccuFit Realtree Max1, 4 rd was built for. This rifle is a purpose-driven bolt-action platform designed for the predator hunter who needs a lightweight, accurate, and adaptable tool that can handle everything from prairie dogs to coyotes without breaking the bank or their back on a long walk. At $716.55, it sits in a sweet spot between budget rifles and high-end customs, offering features you usually have to pay a lot more to get.
Here’s the thing—the heart of any rifle is its barrel and action. The 10/110 Predator uses Savage’s renowned Model 10 action, which is the foundation for many of their most accurate rifles. It’s paired with a 22-inch sporter-contour barrel that’s threaded 1/2″-28, a huge plus for anyone wanting to run a muzzle brake or suppressor. The real magic, though, is in the stock. The AccuFit system lets you adjust the length of pull and comb height without a gunsmith. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of mixed .223 and 5.56 NATO through this platform, and that adjustability means it fits out of the box, whether you’re in a heavy jacket or a t-shirt.

The AccuTrigger is another standout. It’s user-adjustable down to a crisp, clean pull—mine settled right at 2.75 pounds—which makes a world of difference when you’re trying to make a precise shot on a small target. The rifle feeds from a detachable 4-round magazine, which is more than enough for hunting and keeps the profile slim. The whole package comes in around 7.5 pounds unscoped, so it’s easy to carry all day. The Realtree Max-1 finish isn’t just for show; it’s effective brush camouflage that holds up to the elements.
Pros: The adjustable AccuFit stock is a genuine game-fit solution. The threaded barrel is ready for accessories right away. The AccuTrigger provides excellent out-of-the-box performance. It’s a lightweight, handy rifle perfect for still-hunting or calling setups. The .223/5.56 chambering means affordable, readily available ammo.
Cons: The stock, while adjustable, is a synthetic material that some find less premium than laminate or wood. The 4-round capacity is sufficient for hunting but low for some target applications. The sporter barrel can heat up during extended strings of fire.
So who is this rifle for? It’s for the Missouri varmint and predator hunter who covers ground. It’s for the landowner who needs a reliable tool for crop protection. It’s also a fantastic entry-point rifle for a new shooter interested in precision bolt-actions, thanks to its adjustability and mild-recoiling caliber. It’s compatible with a wide range of optics; I’ve run mine with both a Vortex Diamondback Tactical and a Leupold VX-Freedom, and it performs well with either.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this rifle safely fire both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition?
A: Yes, it is explicitly chambered for both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO. This is a key feature, as 5.56 ammo is often more available and affordable for practice, while you can use precision .223 loads for hunting.
Q: Is the AccuFit system difficult to adjust?
A: Not at all. It uses simple spacers for the length of pull and interchangeable comb pieces for height. You can tailor the fit in minutes with the included kit—no gunsmithing required.
Q: What type of scope base does it use?
A: The Savage 10/110 Predator uses a standard Savage short-action round receiver pattern. It’s drilled and tapped for common bases like those from Weaver or Picatinny-style rails from brands like EGW. An FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases, and this model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
