Look, when it comes to packing a rifle all day in the Missouri Ozarks or chasing elk in the Rockies, every ounce matters. The Savage 110 Ultralite gets this. The heart of this system is the PROOF Research barrel—it’s not just lightweight, it’s stiff and accurate. The 30-06 Springfield chambering is a classic for a reason, offering a versatile range that can take everything from whitetail to moose with the right load. The action is bedded into the stock for solid contact, and the whole package is drop-in ready for your optics, requiring no gunsmithing to get into the field. At $1196.33, it positions itself as a serious tool for serious hunters.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is for the hunter who measures miles, not yards. The backcountry hunter, the still-hunter covering dense timber, or anyone who has felt the drag of a heavy barrel by the end of a long day. It’s for the shooter who wants modern performance—carbon fiber, a threaded muzzle, a great trigger—in a timeless, powerful caliber that doesn’t require a special order at the ammo counter.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The dramatic weight reduction is the headline, transforming a capable rifle into a true mountain gun. The carbon fiber barrel offers excellent accuracy and rapid cooling. The adjustable AccuTrigger is a significant advantage out of the box. The threaded muzzle adds immediate utility for recoil or sound management.
Cons: The 30-06 in a lightweight platform has noticeable recoil—a muzzle brake is a wise investment. The polymer stock, while durable and light, may not satisfy those seeking a traditional wood or premium composite feel. The 4-round capacity is standard but less than some detachable mag systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much does this rifle actually weigh?
A: While exact weight can vary, the Savage 110 Ultralite configuration typically comes in between 6.0 and 6.5 pounds without optics. The carbon fiber barrel is the key, often saving over 2 pounds compared to a standard steel barrel.
Q: Is the barrel truly free-floated?
A: Yes. The PROOF Research carbon-wrapped barrel is fully free-floated within the polymer stock, meaning nothing contacts the barrel to induce pressure and affect point of impact—a critical feature for consistent accuracy across different shooting positions and weather conditions.
Q: What optics and mounts work well with this setup?
A: The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases. Popular one-piece mounts from brands like Warne or Leupold, or two-piece bases from EGW, fit perfectly. Given the rifle’s long-range capability, a versatile 3-9x40mm or 4-12x40mm scope from Vortex, Leupold, or Burris is an ideal match for the 30-06’s effective range.
