Description
The Savage 110 Apex Predator XP, Bolt Action 22-250 Rem, 20″ Barrel, Mossy Oak Terra Camo Pattern, Polymer Stock, 4Rd, Vortex Crossfire II 4-12×40 Scope, is a complete, out-of-the-box varmint and predator hunting rifle system. It pairs Savage’s proven 110 action with a hard-hitting 22-250 Remington cartridge and a quality Vortex optic, all for a price that’s tough to beat. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of various 55-grain loads through this configuration, and it’s built for one job: reaching out and touching critters at distance with authority and precision.

Specifications & Details
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Action | Bolt Action |
| Caliber | 22-250 Remington |

The rifle’s overall length sits right around 40.5 inches, and it weighs in at a very manageable 7.5 pounds unloaded. The synthetic stock is rigid and handles weather without a second thought. Here’s the thing—the real value is in the package. Sourcing a comparable Vortex scope and rings separately would push a bare rifle’s total cost significantly higher. This one is drop-in ready, needing only a final zero and a box of ammo. An FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases, and this model ships to Missouri and compliant US states.
Who This Rifle Is For
This setup is ideal for the dedicated predator caller or the farmer needing reliable coyote control. It’s also a fantastic entry point for a new hunter looking for a serious, capable rifle that requires no additional investment to be effective in the field. If your primary goal is making precise, long-range shots on smaller targets without the bulk of a larger caliber, this 22-250 configuration is a compelling choice. The package price of $629.32 represents a genuine value for a turn-key hunting tool.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The out-of-the-box completeness is the biggest advantage, eliminating guesswork and extra cost. The 22-250 is a legendary varmint cartridge with blistering speed. The Vortex optic has a lifetime warranty, and the AccuTrigger is one of the best factory triggers available. The 20-inch barrel makes it handy.
Cons: Barrel life on a 22-250 can be shorter than slower cartridges if you shoot it excessively hot and fast. The polymer stock, while durable, lacks the premium feel of a composite or laminate. It’s a specialized tool—not the best choice for deer-sized game where regulations require larger calibers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and bore-sighted?
A: Yes, the Vortex Crossfire II scope comes mounted in Savage’s proprietary one-piece base and rings. It is factory bore-sighted, meaning you’ll be on paper at 100 yards, but a final zeroing session with your chosen ammunition is absolutely necessary for precision work.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With quality ammunition, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) accuracy is common with the Savage 110 series. I’ve consistently seen 3/4 to 1-inch groups at 100 yards with 55-grain ballistic tip loads. The rigid action and excellent trigger are a great foundation for precision.
Q: Can I use other optics or mounts with this rifle?
A: Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard Savage 110 scope base pattern. You can easily remove the included setup and install any popular rings and bases, like those from Warne or Leupold, to accommodate a different optic.
