Description
You’re glassing a ridgeline at 300 yards, the wind is picking up, and you need a round that won’t debate with the elements. You need a rifle built for the decisive shot, not the plinking session. That’s the territory of the Savage 10/110 Storm 338 Federal, 22″ Barrel, Stainless Steel, AccuFit Gray Stock, 4 rd. This is a purpose-driven bolt-action platform chambered in the potent .338 Federal, delivering magnum-level energy in a short-action, recoil-manageable package. It’s for the hunter who demands terminal performance on elk or bear, and the practical shooter who values a rugged, no-fuss tool that fits out of the box.
Here’s the thing—the .338 Federal isn’t a boutique round; it’s a logical hammer. It pushes a 200+ grain bullet at velocities that flatten trajectories and punch through heavy bone and muscle. The Storm’s 22-inch stainless steel barrel is the perfect conduit for this power: long enough for efficient powder burn and velocity, but still handy in a blind or thick timber. The stainless construction laughs off Missouri humidity and foul weather, ensuring corrosion resistance where blued steel would protest.
The heart of the system is Savage’s legendary AccuTrigger. This user-adjustable trigger breaks cleanly, eliminating creep and providing a consistent, predictable pull that directly translates to shot placement confidence. It’s one less variable to manage when your breathing is controlled and the crosshairs are steady. Paired with the pillar-bedded, gray AccuFit stock, you have a foundation for real accuracy. The AccuFit system isn’t a gimmick; it lets you tailor the length of pull and comb height for a perfect, repeatable cheek weld. No gunsmithing required—just an Allen key and a few minutes to make the rifle truly yours. The stock’s textured finish provides a solid grip in all conditions, and its design accommodates the rifle’s 4-round detachable box magazine for quick reloads.

Pros & Cons
The pros are clear: formidable stopping power in a manageable short-action frame, superb weather resistance, and unparalleled user-adjustability for fit and trigger. The AccuFit system is a genuine advantage for shooters of different statures. But this is a specialized tool. The .338 Federal, while effective, has higher ammunition cost and more pronounced recoil than a .308 Winchester—though it’s still milder than a .338 Win Mag. It’s a trade-off: you gain significant downrange energy for potentially less practice volume due to cost and kick. That said, for its intended role, the trade is more than justified.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter pursuing large game in North America—think Missouri whitetail in dense river bottoms, Colorado elk, or Alaskan moose. It’s for the shooter who wants one rifle that can ethically handle anything on the continent, from a distance or up close. It’s also for the prepared individual who values a reliable, powerful rifle for wilderness protection. At $683.93, it represents a serious value for a stainless steel, feature-rich rifle ready for harsh environments. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the .338 Federal compare to .308 Winchester?
A: The .338 Federal uses a .308 Winchester case necked up to .338 caliber. It fires heavier bullets (typically 180-210 grain) with more frontal area and retained energy at all ranges, making it superior for larger game. Recoil is increased, but it remains manageable in a well-designed rifle like the Storm.
Q: Is the AccuFit stock compatible with aftermarket chassis systems?
A: The Savage 10/110 Storm action is built on the classic 110 footprint. This means it is compatible with a wide range of aftermarket stocks and chassis systems from brands like MDT, KRG, and Magpul, should you ever want to change the factory configuration.
Q: What optics mount is needed?
A: The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard Savage 110 scope base pattern. You’ll need a set of scope rings and a base compatible with the Savage 110 short action (like those from Warne, Leupold, or Talley). FFL transfer required for firearm purchases when ordering online.
