The rifle’s core is the proven Savage 110 action, known for its strength and simple design. The 24-inch barrel is a sporter contour, striking a balance between weight and heat dissipation for strings of shots. It uses a detachable box magazine with a 4-round capacity, and the whole package is finished in Mossy Oak’s Terra pattern—a practical choice for Missouri’s mixed terrain of fields and timber. At a price point of $752.84, it undercuts many competitors while delivering core performance.
Who This Rifle Is For
This Savage 110 Predator is built for the practical varminter and predator hunter. Think prairie dog towns, coyote stands, or groundhog control on the farm. If you need to make ethical, long-range shots on small targets without spending a fortune on a custom rig, this is your workhorse. It’s also a great entry into precision rimfire-style shooting with a centerfire cartridge. The camo pattern and polymer stock mean you’re not afraid to use it in the elements, and the .204 Ruger’s light recoil makes it a solid option for younger or recoil-sensitive shooters looking to stretch their range.
Pros & Cons: The Value Trade-Off
Pros: The biggest pro is the accuracy-per-dollar ratio. Savage consistently delivers out-of-the-box accuracy that rivals more expensive brands. The .204 Ruger is a laser beam—cheap to handload and factory ammo from brands like Hornady or Federal is readily available. The AccuTrigger is a genuine advantage, offering a customizable pull that’s drop-in ready, no gunsmithing required. The full camo dip adds value and utility at this price.
Cons: You’re getting a budget-friendly polymer stock. It’s functional and light, but it lacks the rigid bedding or adjustability of a premium chassis. The action might feel a bit utilitarian compared to a smoother, higher-end bolt gun. That said, you’re saving hundreds of dollars, and that smoothness often comes with practice and a little break-in. The trade-off is clear: you invest in the barrel and trigger where it counts for accuracy, not the furniture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .204 Ruger a good caliber for coyotes?
A: Absolutely. It’s a top-tier choice. The .204 Ruger offers extremely high velocity (over 4,000 fps) with light bullets, resulting in devastating terminal performance on coyote-sized game and minimal pelt damage with the right varmint bullets. Its trajectory is so flat it simplifies holdovers at unknown distances.
Q: Can I mount a scope on this rifle easily?
A: Yes. The Savage 110 Predator comes drilled and tapped for scope bases. It uses a standard Savage 110 long-action pattern, so you can use scope bases from brands like Weaver, Leupold, or EGW. Just remember, for the .204 Ruger’s potential, a scope with good magnification and reliable tracking is a wise pairing.
Q: How does this compare to a Ruger American or a Howa 1500 in .204 Ruger?
A: Here’s the thing—they’re all great budget options. The Ruger American is often lighter and cheaper but may have a simpler stock. The Howa 1500 has a famously smooth action. This Savage 110 Predator often splits the difference, offering the proven AccuTrigger system and that long 24-inch barrel for the caliber’s full velocity potential. It’s a three-way tie where personal preference on trigger feel and barrel length decides it.
