Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP .260 Rem w/ Vortex Scope

Description

Picture this: you’re on a Missouri ridge at first light, a steady crosswind pushing through the oaks. You need a rifle that doesn’t just get you there, but gets the job done with cold, reliable precision. That’s the mission of the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP, .260 Rem, 24″, 4rd, 3-9x40mm Vortex Crossfire II Scope, Black. It’s a complete, out-of-the-box hunting system designed for the shooter who values performance over pretense.

The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .260 Remington, featuring a 24-inch barrel, a 4-round detachable magazine, and comes as a complete package with a factory-mounted and bore-sighted 3-9x40mm Vortex Crossfire II scope in a matte black finish. This ready-to-hunt configuration is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.

Let’s talk about what makes this package work. The heart is the proven Savage 110 action, known for its rugged simplicity and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. You get a clean, crisp pull that’s entirely in your control—no gunsmithing required to tune it to your preference. That’s critical when your shot presentation is less than perfect and you need to trust the break. Topped with the Vortex Crossfire II, you have a scope built for hard use, with fully multi-coated lenses for a bright sight picture and a dead-hold BDC reticle to help manage drop. The whole system is built to fit out of the box and perform.

Here’s the thing—the .260 Remington cartridge is the quiet star here. It bridges the gap between the common .308 and the flatter-shooting 6.5mm Creedmoor, offering excellent downrange energy with manageable recoil. That 24-inch barrel gives the powder plenty of time to work, squeezing out velocity for a flatter trajectory. Think of it as your tool for reaching across a CRP field or a wide timber cut. The synthetic stock is built for all-weather duty, and the package weight, coming in around 8.3 lbs scoped, strikes a solid balance between steadiness offhand and portability on a long stalk.

Pros: The primary advantage is the complete, ready-to-zero package. The Vortex scope is a significant step above basic factory glass. The .260 Rem is a versatile, efficient cartridge for medium to large game. The AccuTrigger system provides a premium feel at an accessible price point of $503.83.

Cons: The synthetic stock is functional but not fancy. The .260 Rem, while excellent, has less off-the-shelf ammunition variety than rounds like .308 Winchester. As with any firearm purchase, an FFL transfer is required.

This rifle is for the hunter who wants to unbox, zero, and hunt without the hassle and extra cost of sourcing separate optics and rings. It’s for the Missouri whitetail hunter, the western pronghorn seeker, or the shooter who appreciates the ballistic efficiency of the 6.5mm projectile family. It’s a practical solution that puts performance first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the scope already mounted and aligned?

A: Yes. The Vortex Crossfire II scope comes mounted in Savage factory rings and is bore-sighted. You will need to finalize your zero at the range, but it’s ready to go right from the case.

Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?

A: The Savage 110 platform paired with the AccuTrigger and a free-floated barrel is consistently capable of sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition. The .260 Remington cartridge is inherently accurate, making this a precise tool for ethical shots at extended ranges.

Q: Can I use other scope mounts or rings?

A: Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases. The included bases are compatible with common Savage/Weaver-style rings, but you can upgrade to Picatinny rails or other systems from brands like Warne or Leupold for different optic setups.
