Description
Picture this: you’re glassing a ridgeline at 800 yards, the wind is a known variable, and the target is a steel plate the size of a dinner plate. You need a rifle that doesn’t flinch, a cartridge that bucks the wind, and a system that delivers first-round confidence without a custom shop price tag. That’s the mission profile for the Savage 110 FCP Factory Blemish .300 PRC, 26″ Heavy Fluted Barrel, Matte Blued, 5rd. It’s a long-range precision rifle built on Savage’s proven 110 action, chambered in the formidable .300 PRC cartridge, and offered with minor cosmetic blemishes at a significant cost savings—delivering sub-MOA accuracy straight from the factory.
Here’s the thing—long-range shooting demands a foundation you can trust. The 110 FCP starts with a stiff, pillar-bedded synthetic stock that free-floats the heavy barrel. That 26-inch, fluted, button-rifled barrel is the engine room. The fluting reduces weight and aids cooling, while the length ensures the .300 PRC’s heavy, high-BC bullets reach their designed velocity. The matte blued finish is all business, resisting glare. At the heart is the user-adjustable AccuTrigger, letting you set your preferred pull weight for a crisp, predictable break. This rifle is drop-in ready; mount your optic, zero it, and you’re in the long-range game. The 5-round detachable box magazine feeds reliably, and the oversized bolt handle provides positive control, even with gloved hands. The rifle weighs in at approximately 9.5 lbs, providing a stable platform that soaks up recoil from the potent .300 PRC round.

Pros: The value proposition is undeniable—you get Savage’s renowned out-of-the-box accuracy, a purpose-built long-range chassis, and a magnum-capacity cartridge for under $1200. The .300 PRC is a flat-shooting, wind-defying round designed for consistent performance beyond 1000 yards. The heavy fluted barrel manages heat and weight effectively. The blemish is purely cosmetic, meaning no compromise on function or precision.
Cons: The .300 PRC is not a casual plinking round—ammunition cost and recoil are substantial factors. The rifle’s overall length and weight make it a dedicated hunting or precision tool, less suited for quick maneuvering in thick timber. You’ll need a robust scope mount and optic, like those from Vortex or Nightforce, to match the rifle’s potential, adding to the total system cost.
So who is this for? The hunter pursuing elk or mule deer across vast western canyons where shots stretch out. The precision rifle shooter entering the PRS production class or wanting a capable practice rifle for big steel. The handloader who wants to develop consistent, long-range loads without a custom action investment. This is a tool for those who measure success in minutes of angle, not just minutes in the woods. For $1174.99, it bridges the gap between factory sporter rifles and full-blown custom rigs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is a “Factory Blemish”?
A: A Factory Blemish indicates a minor cosmetic flaw in the finish—a small scratch, tool mark, or finish variation—that does not affect the rifle’s function, safety, or accuracy in any way. It’s a way to acquire a high-performance firearm at a reduced cost.
Q: Is the .300 PRC suitable for hunting in Missouri?
A: While overkill for whitetail at standard ranges, the .300 PRC is an excellent choice for larger game like elk or for long-range hunting in open terrain. For most Missouri deer hunting, a lighter-recoiling cartridge is preferable, but this rifle is a superb option for hunters who travel west or pursue long-range disciplines.
Q: What type of optic mount does this rifle use?
A: The Savage 110 action uses a standard Remington 700 long-action footprint for scope bases. This makes it compatible with a vast array of aftermarket rail and ring systems from brands like Warne, Leupold, and EGW, allowing easy mounting of your preferred long-range optic.
