Description
Picture this: you’re a left-handed shooter on a budget, looking for a serious, no-fuss rifle for the bench or the blind. You need something that can reach out and touch targets without touching your wallet too hard. You’ve been eyeing tactical bolt-actions, but the price tags for custom southpaw models are enough to make you wince. That’s where the Savage 10/110 Tactical, .308 Win, 24″ Barrel, 10rd, Left-Handed, Gray comes in. It’s the answer for the practical shooter who demands capability but respects cost.
The Savage 10/110 Tactical, .308 Win, 24″ Barrel, 10rd, Left-Handed, Gray is a factory-built, left-handed tactical bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. It features a 24-inch heavy barrel for improved accuracy, a gray synthetic stock, and comes ready to accept optics. Priced at $663.54, it offers a high-value platform for precision shooting without the custom-shop markup.
Let’s break down what makes this rifle a standout value. The heart of the system is Savage’s proven 110 action, but built from the ground up for left-handed operation. This isn’t a reworked right-handed gun. The bolt handle, ejection port, and safety are all correctly positioned for a natural, fluid manual of arms. That means no awkward reaching over or adjusting your grip—a huge benefit often reserved for much more expensive rifles. The action is paired with a 24-inch heavy-contour barrel. The extra length and mass help manage the .308 Winchester’s recoil and can contribute to better velocity and consistency, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to make tight groups at distance.
The gray synthetic stock is built for function. It’s rigid and free-floats the barrel, meaning the stock doesn’t put pressure on the barrel that could throw off your point of impact. It comes with swivel studs for a bipod and sling, so you can set up a stable shooting platform right away. Here’s the thing—the real secret to this rifle’s bang-for-buck reputation is Savage’s AccuTrigger. This user-adjustable trigger is a game-changer in this price bracket, allowing you to set a clean, crisp pull weight to your preference. No gunsmithing required to get a premium trigger feel.
Out of the box, the rifle is ready for your optic. It comes drilled and tapped for scope bases, which are widely available from brands like EGW, Warne, or Weaver. The .308 Winchester chambering is a major plus. It’s a versatile, powerful round effective for long-range target shooting, medium-game hunting, and tactical applications. Ammunition is readily available in a huge range of loads and price points, from affordable bulk FMJ for practice to high-grade match and hunting rounds. With a 10-round detachable box magazine, you have ample capacity for a string of fire without constant reloading. The rifle weighs in around 9.5 lbs unscoped, which is manageable for carry but really shines when deployed from a supported position.

Pros: True left-handed configuration eliminates ergonomic compromises. The 24-inch heavy barrel aids in accuracy and recoil management. The adjustable AccuTrigger provides exceptional value. The .308 Win chambering offers great versatility and ammo availability. The price point is highly competitive for a dedicated left-hand tactical rifle.
Cons: The synthetic stock, while functional, may feel utilitarian compared to aftermarket chassis systems. At nearly 10 pounds, it’s not a lightweight mountain rifle. As with any firearm, an FFL transfer is required for purchase.
So who is this rifle for? It’s built for the budget-conscious left-handed shooter who needs a capable, accurate rifle for target shooting, precision rifle matches, or hunting from a fixed position. It’s for the Missouri hunter in a box blind who wants reliable reach across a field. It’s also an excellent foundation rifle—you get a solid, accurate action and barrel to start with, and you can always upgrade the stock or other components down the line as your budget allows. Think of it as getting 90% of the performance of a custom rig for less than half the typical cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What scope bases fit this model?
A: The Savage 10/110 Tactical uses a standard Savage 110 long action scope mounting pattern. Two-piece bases from manufacturers like EGW (Evolution Gun Works) or Warne, in the Savage 110 LA configuration, are a common and reliable choice.
Q: Is the magazine compatible with other Savage .308 models?
A: Typically, yes. This model uses Savage’s centerfeed, detachable box magazine system. Magazines labeled for the Savage 10/110 in .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO from the same magazine generation should be compatible, but it’s always best to verify with the specific magazine model number.
Q: Can a right-handed person shoot this left-handed rifle?
A: Technically, yes, but it’s not ideal. The bolt handle will be on the “wrong” side for a right-handed shooter, requiring them to remove their hand from the trigger to operate it. The rifle is specifically designed to benefit left-handed users, and right-handed shooters would be better served by a standard right-hand model.
If you’re a lefty tired of adapting to a right-handed world, this Savage 10/110 Tactical offers a serious, ready-to-run solution without the serious price tag. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide. See the full details and check availability on our site.
