The rifle is built on the rugged 110 action, known for its reliability and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. The synthetic stock is durable and weather-resistant, a practical choice for the field. Weighing around 7.5 pounds, it’s a portable package, though the muzzle brake and heavier barrel profile add some heft compared to sporter-weight models. That said, the trade-off is reduced felt recoil and better stability. The 4-round magazine is a sensible capacity for most hunting scenarios and keeps the profile trim. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who It’s For
This Wolverine is for the hunter who needs a specific tool. It’s perfect for hunters in Midwest states like Michigan, Ohio, or Iowa where straight-wall cartridges are mandated for rifle hunting. It’s also a formidable choice for Missouri deer hunters in thick river-bottom timber or for pursuing hog in dense brush where shots are close and power is paramount. If your hunting involves stands, blinds, or thick cover where a long barrel is a hindrance, this 18-inch configuration makes sense. It’s not a long-range precision rig—it’s a close-quarters hammer.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The value is clear. You get a specialized straight-wall rifle with an adjustable stock and muzzle brake for well under a grand. The AccuFit system means it fits out of the box for most shooters, a huge plus. The 450 Bushmaster has abundant factory ammo options from brands like Hornady and Federal, and it hits hard. The compact size is a genuine functional benefit in the woods.
Cons: It’s a niche cartridge with limited range (about 250 yards max). Ammo cost is higher than common rounds like .308. The muzzle brake makes it louder for the shooter—ear protection is a must. Some may find the 7.5-pound weight a bit much for a brush gun, but that’s the trade-off for the recoil-reducing features.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the muzzle brake removable?
A: Yes, the factory muzzle brake is threaded on (likely 5/8″-24), allowing for removal or replacement with a compatible muzzle device or thread protector. Always check local regulations regarding muzzle devices for hunting.
Q: How does the AccuFit system work?
A: It uses interchangeable comb risers and butt spacers. The kit includes multiple sizes shipped with the rifle. You simply remove a few screws, swap the parts, and re-tighten to adjust the length of pull and cheek weld height to your preference—no special tools needed.
Q: Can I use other 450 Bushmaster ammunition brands?
A: Absolutely. The Savage 110 Wolverine is designed to cycle standard factory ammunition from all major manufacturers like Hornady, Federal, Remington, and Winchester. As with any rifle, it’s wise to test a few boxes of your chosen hunting load to ensure reliable feeding and pinpoint accuracy.
