It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The biggest advantage is the immediate readiness. You save money and time. The Vortex scope is a major upgrade over typical bundled optics, and the AccuTrigger is a legitimate performance feature. The .223 Remington chambering means cheap practice—look, ammo cost matters. The total package weight of about 7.5 pounds makes it easy to carry all day.
Cons: The synthetic stock is functional but not fancy; it’s a trade-off for the price point. The 4-round capacity is sufficient for hunting but limited for extended range sessions. As a package deal, you’re committing to the 3-9×40 scope configuration—if you wanted a different magnification, you’d need to buy separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and sighted in?
A: Yes. The Vortex Crossfire II scope comes mounted and bore-sighted from the factory. This means it should be on paper at 100 yards, but you will need to perform a final zeroing with your chosen ammunition for precise accuracy. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
Q: Can this .223 rifle be used for deer hunting in Missouri?
A: Yes, the .223 Remington is a legal caliber for deer in Missouri. However, ethical and effective use requires careful selection of appropriate, controlled-expansion hunting ammunition (not standard FMJ target rounds) and strict adherence to shot placement within your personal skill range. Many hunters prefer larger calibers, but with proper bullets, the .223 is capable.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: The Savage 110 action has a strong reputation for out-of-the-box accuracy, often achieving 1 to 1.5 MOA (Minute of Angle) with quality factory ammunition. The included Vortex scope provides clear enough glass to let the rifle’s barrel and trigger perform. That said, results will vary slightly with different ammo brands and bullet weights, so testing a few types is recommended.
For a hunting rifle package that gets you from the box to the field with proven components and real savings, the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP in .223 Remington is a practical and hard-to-beat choice. See more details on our product page.
