Description
You’re glassing a ridgeline at 400 yards. The wind is a factor, the light is fading, and you need a single, decisive shot. That’s the scenario the Savage 110 Apex Storm XP 338 Win, Vortex Crossfire II 3X9X40 Scope is built for. It’s a complete, long-range hunting system that ships ready for the field, pairing Savage’s renowned 110 action with a proven Vortex optic—all for a price that demands attention.
Here’s the thing—this isn’t a project rifle. It’s a turn-key solution. The package includes the rifle, a factory-mounted and bore-sighted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 scope, and a hard case. That means no gunsmithing required; you can take it from the box to the range, confirm zero, and be confident. The heart of the system is the .338 Winchester Magnum cartridge, a legendary round capable of taking the largest North American game with authority at extended ranges. With a total package price of $578.28, it represents a significant value for a capable long-range rig.
Built for the Demanding Shot
The Savage 110 action is the foundation, known for its strength, simplicity, and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. You can set the pull weight to your preference, ensuring a crisp, predictable break that aids accuracy when the pressure is on. The Apex Storm variant features a synthetic stock that’s both lightweight and weather-resistant, with a textured grip for control in all conditions. The barrel is free-floated, a critical design element that prevents stock pressure from affecting point of impact as the barrel heats up.
Topping it off is the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40. This scope is a workhorse, with fully multi-coated lenses for bright, clear images in low light. The dead-hold BDC reticle is invaluable for estimating holdover at unknown distances. The one-piece tube is nitrogen purged and O-ring sealed for fog-proof performance. Weighing in at approximately 8.5 lbs scoped, this is a rifle built for deliberate shooting from a rest or bipod, not for running through thick brush.

Pros & Cons
The Upside: This is an outstanding out-of-the-box value. You get a proven rifle and a reputable scope, mounted and ready. The .338 Win Mag is supremely capable for elk, moose, and bear. The AccuTrigger is a genuine performance enhancer, and the synthetic stock shrugs off rough weather. It’s a system that inspires confidence for the one shot that matters.
The Consideration: The .338 Win Mag has significant recoil. It demands proper shooting technique and may not be ideal for new shooters. Ammunition cost is higher than common calibers like .308. The rifle’s length and weight make it best suited for still-hunting or setups where you’re not covering vast distances on foot.
Who This Rifle Is For
This package is for the hunter who demands reach and power. It’s for the Missouri hunter pursuing elk out west, or the hunter in our northern counties preparing for a moose hunt. It’s for the shooter who wants a serious long-range tool without the hassle and expense of piecing together components. If your hunt requires a cartridge that bucks the wind and delivers energy downrange, this system answers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and sighted in?
A: Yes. The Vortex Crossfire II scope comes mounted in Savage factory rings and is bore-sighted. You will need to fire it at the range to confirm and fine-tune the zero for your specific ammunition, but it should be on paper right from the start.
Q: What type of game is the .338 Winchester Magnum suitable for?
A: It is considered one of the premier cartridges for large, tough game at extended ranges. It is an excellent choice for elk, moose, brown bear, and African plains game. Within Missouri, it is overkill for whitetail but represents the top end of capability for any North American hunt.
Q: Can I use other scope rings or mounts with this package?
A: Absolutely. The rifle’s receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases. The included Vortex scope uses a common 1-inch tube diameter. You can easily swap to other quality rings or a Picatinny rail system from brands like Warne, Leupold, or EGW for different optic setups.
