Description
Picture this: you’re glassing a power line cut at last light, a coyote silhouette appears at 200 yards. You need a rifle that’s ready—right now. You need a package that doesn’t require a second mortgage or a gunsmith on speed dial. That’s the exact scenario the Savage 110 Apex Storm XP 223 Rem, Vortex Crossfire II 3X9X40 Scope is built for. It’s a complete, out-of-the-box hunting and varmint control system. This rifle combines Savage’s proven 110 action in a synthetic-stocked, weather-resistant platform, topped with a reputable Vortex optic, all for a price that makes sense. At $654.89, it’s a serious tool without the serious financial hit.
When it comes to putting meat in the freezer or managing predators on your property, hesitation is the enemy. The Apex Storm XP package eliminates guesswork. The heart is the Savage 110 action, known for its rugged simplicity and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. You get a clean, crisp pull you can tune yourself—no gunsmithing required. The barrel is button-rifled and free-floated within the synthetic stock, a design that promotes consistent accuracy by minimizing pressure points. The stock itself is molded from a composite material that shrugs off moisture and rough handling, a must for Missouri’s unpredictable weather. Chambered in .223 Remington, this setup is ideal for varmints from groundhogs to coyotes, and is more than capable for deer within ethical ranges, especially when paired with the right ammunition.
The real value of this package is the mounted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 scope. Vortex optics are known for their clarity, durability, and fantastic warranty. The 3-9x magnification is the perfect versatile range for the .223’s capabilities, allowing for quick shots at closer ranges and precise aiming at longer distances. The scope comes mounted and bore-sighted from the factory. Is it a guaranteed one-hole group at 100 yards out of the box? No. But it gets you on paper, so you can finish zeroing with minimal ammo expenditure. The rifle weighs in at approximately 6.8 lbs without the scope, making it easy to carry on long walks.
Here’s the thing—this isn’t a safe queen. It’s a working rifle. The matte black finish and synthetic stock mean you won’t cry over a scratch. The detachable box magazine offers quick reloads, and the action is compatible with aftermarket AICS-pattern magazines if you want to expand your capacity. The 22-inch barrel provides a good balance of velocity and maneuverability. Look, for the price of a barebones rifle from some brands, you’re getting a complete, field-ready system from names you can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and ready to shoot?
A: Yes. The Vortex Crossfire II scope is mounted and bore-sighted at the factory. You will need to fire it and complete the zeroing process for your specific ammunition, but it should be on paper from the start, saving you time and ammo.
Q: Can this rifle handle 5.56 NATO ammunition?
A: No. The barrel is explicitly chambered for .223 Remington. While .223 can typically be fired in a 5.56 chamber, the reverse is not always safe. For optimal safety and performance, stick with .223 Remington ammunition in this rifle.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With its free-floated barrel and AccuTrigger, the Savage 110 platform is consistently capable of sub-MOA accuracy with quality match-grade ammunition. With standard factory ammo, 1-1.5 MOA is a very reasonable expectation, which is more than sufficient for its intended roles.
