Description
The Savage 110 High Country, .270 Win, 22″, 4rd, Accustock Camo is a purpose-built, lightweight hunting rifle. It combines Savage’s proven 110 action with a carbon-wrapped barrel and a pillar-bedded, camo-clad Accustock for a reliable, accurate, and weather-resistant package ready for the backcountry. I’ve put a few boxes of .270 Win through this platform, and it’s a solid performer that fits out of the box.
Here’s the thing—when you’re miles from the truck, every ounce matters, and the High Country gets that. The carbon-wrapped barrel shaves weight without sacrificing the stiffness needed for consistent accuracy. The .270 Winchester chambering is a classic for a reason, offering a flat trajectory and plenty of power for deer, elk, and most North American game at reasonable ranges. The 22-inch barrel length is a sweet spot, keeping the rifle maneuverable in thick timber without giving up too much velocity.
Key Features
- Carbon-Wrapped Barrel: Reduces weight and dissipates heat quickly for consistent shot strings.
- AccuStock with Pillar Bedding: The aluminum chassis system is fully embedded in the stock for a rigid, stable bedding platform that’s camo finished for durability.
- AccuTrigger: Savage’s user-adjustable trigger is one of the best factory offerings, breaking cleanly and predictably.
- Spiral-Fluted Bolt: Reduces weight and helps shed debris.
- Detachable Box Magazine: The 4-round capacity is practical for hunting, and the mag release is easy to operate with gloves on.

Priced at $906.53, this rifle sits in a competitive space. You’re paying for the carbon-wrapped barrel technology and the refined AccuStock system, which together justify the cost over a standard synthetic-stocked 110. The weight, coming in around six and a quarter pounds, makes a tangible difference on a long hike. That said, the light weight does mean you’ll feel a bit more recoil from the .270 Win cartridge compared to a heavier rifle—it’s manageable, but something to practice with.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is a rifle for the mobile hunter. If you chase whitetails in the Missouri hardwoods, hike for western mule deer, or set up in a high-country elk camp, the High Country’s blend of light weight and solid accuracy makes sense. It’s also a great choice for someone who wants a modern, feature-rich hunting rifle without the custom shop price tag. It’s not a benchrest gun or a tactical rifle; its entire design philosophy is centered on portability and field performance.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The standout feature is the weight—or lack thereof. The carbon-wrapped barrel is a genuine performance upgrade. The AccuTrigger is excellent right from the factory. The pillar-bedded Accustock provides a stable foundation that many traditional stocks lack. The overall package is highly weather-resistant and requires minimal maintenance in the field.
Cons: The light weight amplifies perceived recoil, which might be a consideration for newer shooters. The camo finish is durable but can show wear on sharp edges with hard use. At this price, some hunters might wish for a threaded muzzle for a suppressor or brake, but that’s a different model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel truly free-floated?
A: Yes. The carbon-wrapped barrel is fully free-floated within the AccuStock, meaning the stock material contacts only the action. This prevents pressure on the barrel from affecting point of impact, which is crucial for consistency across different shooting positions and weather conditions.
Q: What optics mount does it use?
A: The Savage 110 High Country comes drilled and tapped for a standard scope base. It uses common Savage 110 short-action spacing, so bases from brands like Warne, Leupold, or EGW will fit perfectly. I typically pair mine with a versatile 3-9x or 4-12x scope from Vortex or Leupold for hunting.
Q: How does the AccuTrigger work?
A: The AccuTrigger features a user-adjustable sear that allows you to safely set the pull weight within a specified range using a provided tool. It also has a unique center blade safety; you must fully depress this blade with the pad of your finger before the trigger will release, providing an added layer of safety against accidental discharge.
Look, if you need a reliable, lightweight hunting rifle that’s ready to go without modification, the Savage 110 High Country in .270 Win is a compelling option.
