Here’s the thing—when it comes to packing a rifle miles into steep terrain, every ounce matters. The core of this rifle is its Proof Research barrel. The carbon-wrapped construction isn’t just for show; it dramatically cuts weight while the steel liner maintains accuracy. The barrel length, at 22 inches, provides an excellent balance for the .308, giving you efficient powder burn and manageable velocity without the unwieldy feel of a longer tube. The action is bedded into the stock for solid contact, and the user-adjustable trigger lets you set the pull weight to your preference. This rifle is drop-in ready for optics, with a drilled and tapped receiver ready for scope mounts from brands like Warne or Leupold. The total package weight sits well under many traditional hunting rifles, a tangible difference you’ll feel by the end of the first mile. At $1181.57, it represents a focused investment in lightweight, reliable performance.
Who This Rifle Is For
This rifle is built for the practical hunter. It’s for the Missouri whitetail hunter trekking through the Mark Twain National Forest, the western hunter pursuing mule deer in the Rockies, or anyone who values a rifle that won’t weigh them down on all-day excursions. It’s also an excellent choice for a shooter who wants a single, versatile rifle capable of handling most North American big game with the right .308 load. The adjustable stock means it can be quickly configured for different users or layers of clothing, making it a great shared family firearm. If your priority is a durable, accurate, and lightweight tool that performs when you’ve finally closed the distance, this Savage 110 configuration is on point.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The dramatic weight reduction is the headline, directly translating to less fatigue. The AccuFit system is genuinely useful, allowing a custom fit that promotes consistent shooting. The .308 Winchester chambering guarantees easy access to ammunition everywhere, from big-box stores to local shops. Savage’s action is known for out-of-the-box accuracy, and the carbon barrel aids in heat management during extended range sessions.
Cons: The premium for lightweight construction is reflected in the price point. Some traditionalists may prefer the feel of a full-steel barrel. The 4-round capacity is standard for a hunting rifle but less than some detachable box magazine systems. The lightweight design can also translate to slightly more felt recoil compared to a heavier rifle in the same caliber—a trade-off for portability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel truly free-floated?
A: Yes. The carbon-wrapped barrel is fully free-floated from the receiver, meaning it does not contact the stock forend. This prevents pressure points from affecting barrel harmonics and is a key factor in maintaining consistent accuracy across different shooting positions and with the use of a bipod or sling.
Q: Can the stock be adjusted for a left-handed shooter?
A: This specific model is configured for a right-handed shooter. Savage does offer left-handed versions in many of its 110 configurations, but you would need to verify the specific Ultralight model availability. The AccuFit system itself adjusts for length and comb, not for bolt orientation.
Q: What type of scope base does it use?
A: The Savage 110 receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard Savage 110 scope base pattern. This is a common footprint, and bases are readily available from multiple manufacturers like EGW, Weaver, and Talley. Always confirm the specific model number compatibility when purchasing rings and bases.
