Description
You’ve been glassing that ridgeline for an hour, the wind is picking up, and the shot is a long one. When it comes to making a precise, ethical harvest at extended range, you need a rifle that’s as unforgiving of error as the terrain itself. That’s where a purpose-built long-range hunting rifle makes the difference. The Savage 110 Ultralight 6.5 PRC, 24″ Barrel, KUIU Verde 2.0 AccuFit Stock, 2rd is engineered for that exact moment.
The Savage 110 Ultralight is a high-performance, lightweight bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in the flat-shooting 6.5 PRC cartridge. It features a 24-inch carbon steel barrel for optimal velocity, a proprietary KUIU Verde 2.0 camouflage synthetic stock with Savage’s adjustable AccuFit system, and comes with a 2-round detachable box magazine. This rifle is designed for the hunter who demands precision and reduced carry weight in demanding backcountry conditions.
Let’s start with the heart of the system: the 6.5 PRC cartridge. This modern round is built for long-range performance, delivering high ballistic coefficients and resisting wind drift better than many traditional hunting calibers. It strikes an excellent balance between manageable recoil and downrange energy, making it a top choice for elk, mule deer, and other large game at distances where other cartridges start to falter. The 24-inch barrel is the perfect partner for the 6.5 PRC, providing the necessary barrel length to let the powder burn completely and maximize the cartridge’s potential velocity—often pushing 143-grain bullets over 2,950 fps.
The KUIU Verde 2.0 stock isn’t just about camouflage; it’s a functional component of the Ultralight’s design. Savage’s AccuFit system is integrated directly into this stock, allowing you to adjust the length of pull and comb height without a gunsmith. This means the rifle fits out of the box, or can be quickly tailored to fit you, your clothing, and your optic setup perfectly. The stock itself is incredibly rigid and lightweight, contributing to the rifle’s overall heft of just around 6 pounds. That’s a critical data point when every ounce counts on a steep climb.
Driving this precision is Savage’s proven 110 action, known for its reliability and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. You can set the trigger pull weight to your preference, ensuring a crisp, clean break that won’t surprise you when you’re focused on the crosshairs. The rifle comes topped with a factory-installed Picatinny rail for optics mounting, ready for a scope like a Leupold VX-5HD or Vortex Razor HD LHT. The 2-round magazine capacity is practical for hunting, keeping the profile sleek and the weight down. At a price of $1181.57, this package offers serious capability without a custom-shop price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 6.5 PRC suitable for elk hunting?
A: Absolutely. With proper bullet selection (140-156 grain bonded or monolithic bullets), the 6.5 PRC provides ample energy and penetration for ethical elk harvests within its effective range, which exceeds most realistic shooting scenarios in the field.
Q: Can the AccuFit stock be adjusted for a left-handed shooter?
A: The AccuFit system adjusts length of pull and comb height, but the stock itself is molded for right-handed operation. Savage offers left-handed models in the 110 lineup, but you would need to confirm specific Ultralight configuration availability.
Q: What type of scope base does it use?
A: The rifle comes from the factory with a Savage-branded, zero-degree Picatinny rail already installed. This provides maximum flexibility for mounting a wide variety of modern hunting scopes and rings, from brands like Nightforce, Leupold, and Vortex.
