Here’s the thing—when you’re glassing a ridge at 400 yards and the wind is picking up, you need a cartridge that fights drift and carries energy. The 24-inch barrel on this Savage 110 gives the 6.5 PRC round the velocity it needs to perform, making those calculated shots possible. The rifle ships with a factory-mounted Vortex scope, a brand known for clarity and reliability, so the entire package is drop-in ready. At a total weight of roughly 7.8 pounds scoped, it’s a manageable carry for all-day pursuits. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, with an FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
Who This Rifle Is For
This package is built for the serious hunter who values efficiency and performance. It’s for the hunter moving up from standard calibers like .308 or .270, seeking more reach on western plains or open timber. It’s also ideal for the shooter who doesn’t want to navigate the separate purchase, mounting, and zeroing of a scope—this system eliminates that hassle. If your goal is a single, capable rifle for deer, antelope, and elk at extended ranges, this configuration delivers. The price point of $577.53 makes it a compelling value for a rifle-and-optic combo of this capability.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The primary advantage is the complete, ready-to-shoot package. The 6.5 PRC is a modern, highly effective hunting cartridge that outperforms older designs. Savage’s AccuTrigger is one of the best factory triggers available. The detachable magazine is a practical feature for hunting. The synthetic stock and matte finish stand up to harsh field conditions.
Cons: The 6.5 PRC ammunition, while growing in popularity, is more expensive and less ubiquitous than legacy rounds like .30-06. The sporter-weight barrel can heat up during extended range sessions, potentially affecting point of impact—though this is less critical for typical hunting shot strings. The stock, while durable, is a basic synthetic; aftermarket options from brands like Boyd’s or Bell and Carlson can be used for customization.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope properly mounted and ready to sight in?
A: Yes. The Vortex Crossfire II scope comes mounted and bore-sighted from the factory. You will need to finalize the zero at your preferred distance (e.g., 100 or 200 yards), but the process is significantly streamlined.
Q: What is the effective hunting range of the 6.5 PRC in this rifle?
A: With proper shot placement and quality ammunition, the 6.5 PRC is capable of ethical takedowns on deer-sized game out to 500+ yards and on larger game like elk to around 400 yards. The 24-inch barrel helps achieve optimal velocities for this performance.
Q: Can I use other 6.5 PRC ammunition brands in this rifle?
A: Absolutely. The rifle is chambered for the standard 6.5 PRC cartridge. You can safely use factory ammunition from any major manufacturer like Hornady, Federal, or Nosler. As with any new firearm, test different loads to see which groups best in your specific rifle.
