Description
The Savage 11/111 FCNS Bolt 300 Win Mag 24″ Barrel, Accustock Black Stock Blued, 3rd is a purpose-built, long-range hunting rifle. It’s a no-frills workhorse chambered in the potent .300 Winchester Magnum, featuring Savage’s reliable centerfeed action, a free-floated 24-inch barrel, and the stability of the AccuStock system—all for a price that gets you in the game without fuss. I’ve put rounds through this platform in similar configurations, and it’s a shooter that fits out of the box, demanding minimal tinkering to get on target.
Key Features
- AccuStock with Aluminum Bedding Block: This isn’t just a fancy name. The stock has an integrated, rigid aluminum chassis that cradles the action, providing consistent barrel harmonics and a solid foundation for accuracy. It’s a huge step up from traditional synthetic stocks.
- Free-Floated Barrel: The 24″ carbon steel barrel is completely free-floated, meaning nothing touches it except the receiver. This prevents pressure points from affecting point of impact, which is critical for consistency, especially as the barrel heats up.
- Centerfeed Rotary Magazine: Savage’s detachable box magazine is reliable and feeds smoothly. The 3rd designation typically indicates a 3-round capacity, which is standard and practical for big game hunting where you rarely need a high volume of fire.
- User-Adjustable AccuTrigger: This is a standout feature. The AccuTrigger is safe, crisp, and user-adjustable down to a very light pull weight. You can tune it to your preference without a gunsmith, which is a massive value-add at this price point of $566.72.

Who This Rifle Is For
This Savage is for the hunter who needs reach and power. Think Missouri whitetail hunters in open fields or those planning western trips for elk, mule deer, or even larger game. It’s also a solid entry point for long-range shooting enthusiasts on a budget who want to learn the fundamentals of a magnum cartridge. The .300 Win Mag is a flat-shooting round, but here’s the thing—it has noticeable recoil. This rifle is best suited for someone who has some shooting experience or is committed to learning proper technique with a powerful caliber.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The accuracy potential for the price is exceptional. The AccuTrigger is fantastic. The AccuStock provides real stability. The .300 Win Mag cartridge is incredibly versatile for North American game. It’s a simple, robust platform that’s easy to maintain. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Cons: Recoil is substantial—you’ll want a good recoil pad and possibly a muzzle brake if you’re sensitive to it. The synthetic stock, while functional, feels utilitarian. The blued finish requires more care to prevent rust than a modern coated finish. At nearly 45 inches long, it’s not a compact, brush-gun.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .300 Win Mag too much gun for Missouri whitetail?
A: In dense timber, yes, it’s overkill. But for longer shots across crop fields or clear-cuts, its flat trajectory is a major advantage. Just use appropriate ammunition—you don’t need ultra-heavy bullets for deer.
Q: What optics and mounts work well with this rifle?
A: You’ll want a scope built to handle magnum recoil. Look at proven models like the Vortex Diamondback Tactical or Leupold VX-Freedom in the 4-12x or 4-16x range. It comes drilled and tapped for standard scope bases; Weaver or Warne two-piece bases are common, reliable choices.
Q: Can the trigger pull weight be adjusted easily?
A: Absolutely. The AccuTrigger is designed for user adjustment with a single tool (often provided). You can safely lower it to a very crisp, light pull, which is one of the best features of this rifle. No gunsmithing required.
