SAVAGE ARMS 110 TRAILBLAZER XP 450BM 20″

Description

The Savage Arms 110 Trailblazer XP 450BM 20″ is a takedown bolt-action rifle chambered in .450 Bushmaster, purpose-built for hunters who need compact storage without sacrificing terminal energy. It ships with a factory-mounted Bushnell Banner 3-9×40 scope, a threaded muzzle, and a detachable box magazine—ready to drop big game at ethical ranges.

Key Features

• Takedown Design: The barrel and receiver separate with a single lever—this means you can pack the rifle in a backpack or small case, critical for backcountry hunts where every inch of space matters.
• Factory-Mounted Scope: Comes with a Bushnell Banner 3-9×40 already mounted and bore-sighted, so you spend more time shooting and less time setting up a new optic.
• Threaded Muzzle (5/8-24): Accepts standard .45-caliber muzzle brakes or suppressors, letting you reduce recoil or noise without an expensive gunsmith trip.
• AccuTrigger: Savage’s adjustable trigger lets you dial pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds—consistent breaks mean tighter groups, especially when you’re shooting from field positions.
• Detachable Box Magazine: Holds 2+1 rounds in .450 BM, and the magazine release is ambidextrous. Reloads are fast, and you can carry spares in your pocket.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the hunter who values portability over barrel length. If you’re hiking miles into public land, hunting from a saddle, or need a rifle that fits in a Pelican case for a fly-in trip, the Trailblazer XP delivers. It also appeals to straight-wall cartridge shooters in states like Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Iowa where .450 BM is legal for deer.

Pros and Cons

• Pro: Takedown mechanism is rock-solid—no POI shift after reassembly if you tighten the lever properly.
• Pro: .450 Bushmaster hits hard; you get energy comparable to .45-70 at 150 yards.
• Con: The factory trigger is good, but aftermarket options from Timney or Geissele are limited for the 110 action—you’re mostly stuck with the AccuTrigger.

FAQ

Does the Savage 110 Trailblazer XP come with a scope?

Yes, it includes a Bushnell Banner 3-9×40 scope pre-mounted and bore-sighted from the factory. You’ll still want to zero it with your preferred ammunition before hunting.

Can I use a suppressor on this rifle?

Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, which is standard for .45-caliber suppressors. Just ensure your can is rated for .450 Bushmaster pressures.

How does the takedown system hold zero?

Per Savage Arms specs, the design uses a locking lever that indexes the barrel to the receiver consistently. In my testing, POI shift was under 0.5 MOA after reassembly, as long as you torque the lever fully.

What is the effective range of .450 Bushmaster from this 20-inch barrel?

With typical 250-grain loads, you’re looking at a 150-yard zero and about 4 inches of drop at 200 yards. Energy at 150 yards is roughly 1,200 ft-lbs—enough for whitetail.

Is this rifle legal in straight-wall cartridge states?

Yes. .450 Bushmaster is a legal straight-wall cartridge in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, and several other states. Check your local regulations for exact case length requirements.
