Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP 300 Win Mag Vortex Package

Description

You’re glassing a ridgeline at 400 yards, the wind is a steady 10 mph from the west, and the season’s trophy bull elk is finally in your sight picture. This is the moment you’ve prepared for, and your gear can’t be the variable. You need a rifle that’s as reliable as your own breathing, a system that delivers precision without a mountain of gunsmithing bills. That’s where the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP package comes in—a complete, long-range hunting solution ready for the field.

The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP 300 Win Mag, Vortex Crossfire II 3X9X40 Scope is a factory-integrated hunting rifle package. It combines Savage’s proven 110 bolt-action rifle chambered in the potent 300 Winchester Magnum cartridge with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm riflescope, mounted and bore-sighted from the factory. This turn-key system is designed for hunters who demand long-range capability and immediate field readiness without the hassle of component sourcing and zeroing. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.

Let’s talk about what makes this package work. The heart is the Savage 110 action, a time-tested design known for its rugged simplicity and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. You can tune the pull weight to your preference, ensuring a crisp, predictable break that directly supports shot placement. The barrel is free-floated, a critical feature that prevents stock pressure from influencing the barrel’s harmonic vibration, which translates to consistent point of impact. The synthetic stock is both lightweight and durable, featuring a textured grip for positive control in all weather conditions. At a total package weight of approximately 8.3 lbs, it’s a manageable carry for long stalks.

The Vortex Crossfire II optic is the perfect partner. With a 3-9x magnification range, it provides wide field of view for close-in brush shots and the magnification needed to ethically place a 300 Win Mag round at extended distances. The Dead-Hold BDC reticle is invaluable for holdover at unknown ranges, a common scenario in mountainous terrain. The optics are fully multi-coated for bright, clear images in low light, and the one-piece tube is nitrogen purged for fog-proof performance. The package price of $503.83 represents a significant value, considering the scope and mounts are included and installed.

Pros: The primary advantage is the out-of-the-box readiness. The scope is mounted on a Picatinny rail and bore-sighted, so you’re essentially a fine-zero session away from hunting. The 300 Win Mag cartridge is a flat-shooting powerhouse capable of taking all North American big game. The AccuTrigger system is a genuine performance enhancer. The synthetic stock resumps moisture and rough handling.

Cons: The 300 Win Mag generates significant recoil; it’s not a caliber for new or recoil-sensitive shooters. Ammunition cost is higher than common rounds like .308 Winchester. The synthetic stock, while tough, lacks the aesthetic appeal of a wood stock. The package is a dedicated hunting rig, not a tactical platform.

So who is this for? This package is built for the serious big-game hunter in Missouri and beyond who targets elk, moose, or large-bodied whitetail at longer ranges. It’s for the hunter who values a simple, effective tool that works without fuss. It’s also an excellent choice for a hunter looking to step up into a capable long-range cartridge without navigating the complexities of building a custom rifle. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the scope mounted and ready to shoot?

A: Yes. The Vortex Crossfire II scope comes mounted on a Picatinny rail and is factory bore-sighted. This means you will need to finalize the zero at your chosen distance (typically 100 or 200 yards), but the process is greatly simplified. It’s a true ready-to-hunt package.

Q: Can the stock be swapped for an aftermarket chassis?

A: Absolutely. The Savage 110 action has strong aftermarket support. The rifle is compatible with numerous chassis systems from brands like MDT (Model 110) and stock options from Boyd’s, allowing you to customize the fit and ergonomics as your needs evolve.

Q: Is the 300 Win Mag too much for Missouri whitetail?

A: It’s a matter of application and shot placement. While it’s certainly a potent round, modern controlled-expansion bullets are highly effective. The real benefit is the cartridge’s flat trajectory, which minimizes holdover and wind drift on longer shots across fields or clear-cuts, making ethical shots more achievable. That said, proper bullet selection is key.

If your hunting demands a rifle that bridges the gap between affordability and serious long-range performance, this Savage package deserves your consideration. Check availability and start the simple transfer process through your local FFL.
