Description
The Savage 110 Bear Hunter .300 Win Mag 23in Barrel is a purpose-built, no-excuses bolt-action rifle for shooters who demand terminal performance in punishing conditions. This gun is set up for heavy timber, mountain basins, and long-range impact—not the bench. I’ve spent time behind a few of these, and the combination of Savage’s AccuFit stock, AccuTrigger, and a button-rifled, straight-fluted stainless barrel with an adjustable muzzle brake makes it a legit tool for field precision.

Key Features
- AccuFit Adjustable Stock System — Lets you dial in length of pull and comb height without swapping hardware. Why it matters: You get a custom fit that keeps your eye aligned with the optic, shot after shot, in heavy clothing or prone.
- AccuTrigger — Adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds with zero creep. Why it matters: A crisp, predictable break means you’re not fighting the trigger when the shot counts. I set mine at 3.5 lbs and it’s repeatable every time.
- Button-Rifled, Straight-Fluted Stainless Barrel (23 inches) — Cold hammer-forged rifling with fluting to reduce weight and aid heat dissipation. Why it matters: Consistent bore dimensions deliver tight groups, and the fluting keeps the barrel from overheating during rapid strings. Per Savage engineering, this barrel profile is optimized for heavy magnum loads.
- Adjustable Muzzle Brake — Reduces recoil by up to 50% with .300 Win Mag. Why it matters: Less recoil means faster follow-up shots and less flinch—critical when you’re shooting from field positions or need a quick second round on a moving target.
- AccuStock Three-Dimensional Action Bedding — Rigid aluminum chassis embedded in the synthetic stock. Why it matters: Eliminates receiver flex and ensures the action stays locked in place, so your point of impact doesn’t shift with stock pressure or temperature changes.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who chases big game in rough country—brown bear, elk, moose—and won’t compromise on terminal ballistics. It’s also for the competition shooter who runs heavy-hitting divisions like Heavy Tactical or Open Class in PRS-style matches, where .300 Win Mag gives you wind-bucking authority at 1,000+ yards. If you’re the type who checks zero at the range and then packs the rifle into the backcountry for a week, this is your platform.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: AccuFit system for rapid fit adjustment; AccuTrigger is genuinely match-grade out of the box; muzzle brake tames .300 Win Mag recoil significantly; fluted barrel reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity; Mossy Oak Break-Up Country stock blends into timber and alpine terrain.
- Cons: The factory synthetic stock feels a bit hollow compared to a chassis system—if you’re a pure precision shooter, you might swap it for an aftermarket stock or chassis. The 23-inch barrel is a compromise for maneuverability over maximum velocity; you lose about 50-75 fps compared to a 26-inch tube with certain loads.

FAQ
What is the twist rate on the Savage 110 Bear Hunter .300 Win Mag 23in barrel?
Per Savage Arms specs, the twist rate is 1:10 inches, which stabilizes bullet weights from 165 to 220 grains—standard for .300 Win Mag. This works well with heavy-for-caliber loads like 200-grain ELD-X or 220-grain Partition for deep penetration.
Can I use the muzzle brake with a suppressor?
The factory adjustable muzzle brake is not suppressor-ready. You’ll need to remove it and install a direct-thread or QD mount if you want to run a can. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, so most .30-caliber suppressors will attach directly after the brake is removed.
Is the AccuFit stock compatible with aftermarket chassis?
The AccuFit system uses a proprietary stock interface, so you can’t drop the barreled action into a standard chassis without an adapter or inletting. If you plan to swap stocks, look for chassis specifically designed for Savage 110 actions (e.g., MDT, XLR, or KRG).
What is the magazine capacity?
The hinged floorplate magazine holds 4 rounds of .300 Win Mag. It’s a detachable box magazine, not a blind magazine, so you can unload without cycling rounds through the chamber.
