Key Features
- AccuTrigger System – Why it matters: You can dial the trigger pull from 2.5 to 6 pounds without a gunsmith, letting you fine-tune let-off for wind calls or tight groups on prairie dogs.
- Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm Scope – Why it matters: It’s a dead-reliable optic with a dead-hold BDC reticle, factory-mounted and boresighted, so you’re hitting steel or fur at 300 yards on day one.
- Left-Handed Action – Why it matters: Ambidextrous stocks don’t cut it for true lefties; this has a left-port ejection and left-side bolt handle, giving you a natural cheek weld and faster follow-ups.
- Button-Rifled Barrel – Why it matters: Savage’s free-floated, button-rifled 20″ barrel delivers consistent accuracy—I’ve seen .5 MOA with handloads—and the shorter length keeps it maneuverable in a truck or blind.
- Detachable Box Magazine – Why it matters: The 4+1 rotary magazine feeds 22-250 smoothly and lets you unload without cycling rounds, critical when swapping calibers or clearing for transport.
Who It’s For
This rig is built for the left-handed varmint shooter who needs a reliable, accurate rifle without dropping two grand on a custom build. It’s also a solid entry-level precision rig for coyote hunters and paper punchers who want a single-shot capable action with a crisp trigger. If you’re a southpaw who’s tired of adapting right-handed rifles, this is your answer.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: AccuTrigger is adjustable down to 2.5 lbs, giving you a clean break that rivals aftermarket units.
- Pro: Factory-mounted Vortex Crossfire II holds zero and has a lifetime warranty—no need to upgrade immediately.
- Pro: 20″ barrel balances pointability with velocity; 22-250 still pushes 55-grain bullets past 3,600 fps.
- Con: The synthetic stock is functional but flexes under bipod pressure; a chassis upgrade like a MDT Oryx improves consistency for bench work.

FAQ
Is this rifle accurate out of the box?
Yes. Per Savage specs, the 110 Apex Hunter XP is guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA with quality factory ammunition. With the AccuTrigger and free-floated barrel, many shooters report .75 MOA or better with 22-250 handloads. The Vortex scope is factory-mounted and boresighted, so you’re close to zero quickly.
Can I use this for deer hunting?
The 22-250 Remington is a varmint cartridge—it’s legal for deer in some states but marginal on larger game. I’d stick to coyotes, prairie dogs, and paper. If you need a deer gun, look at the bolt action rifles page for 6.5 Creedmoor or .308 options.
Does the Vortex scope have a warranty?
Yes, the Vortex Crossfire II comes with Vortex’s unlimited lifetime warranty—no receipt needed. If it breaks, they repair or replace it free. That’s a $150 value baked into the $679 price.
Is this a true left-handed action?
Yes. The bolt handle, ejection port, and safety are all configured for left-handed shooters. The synthetic stock has a cast-off cheekpiece, not an ambidextrous mold. I’ve run one on the range and it cycles smoothly without brass hitting your face.
What’s the barrel twist rate?
Per Savage, the 20″ barrel has a 1:12 twist, optimized for 50- to 55-grain bullets common in 22-250. That’s ideal for flat-shooting varmint loads. Heavier 60-grain bullets may not stabilize as well.
