This week on #SundayGunday, we’re taking a closer look at a relatively new firearm from the Savage 110 family that was built to battle the elements, no matter the conditions: the 110 Trail Hunter.
As part of the 110 family, this new rifle incorporates all the accuracy-driving features you already know and love, including a floating bolt head, free-floating barrel, the user-adjustable Savage AccuTrigger, and and a thread-in barrel nut which provides precise headspacing when mating the barrel to the receiver.
All these things combine to make the Savage 110 one of the most accurate bolt-action platforms on the market today.
This new model, takes that renown 110 action and ads to it a Hogue Overmolded rifle stock to make it near impervious to weather, resulting in a do-all rifle that can do it all in nearly any place on earth.
Hogue Overmolded rifle stocks are designed specifically to provide good grip and ergonomics. The full-coverage OD Green rubber over-molding on this 110 sports a textured grip to provide shooters with a firm hold on the rifle, even in a full downpour.
Further adding to its all-weather pedigree, the 110 Trail Hunter sports a Cerakote ceramic coating on the barreled action helps seal out the worst that mother nature can dish out. A three-position safety allows the bolt to be locked, for worry-free carry through dense woods.
Toping off this all-weather platform is a button-rifled, medium-heavy barrel, threaded to accept a suppressor so you can be as stealthy as you are deadly.
Barrel lengths available are dependent on the caliber you choose, from 18- to 24-inches. And when we say Savage offers some options for caliber, we aren’t kidding. Currently, the 110 Trail hunter is offered in 15 different long and short-action chamberings, including the varmint slaying .223, the ever-popular 6.5 Creedmoor, the classic .270 and .30-06, the new kids on the block like the 6.5 and 7 PRC, and even the straight-wall thumpers like the 300 and 400 Legend and the 450 Bushmaster. Yes, if you like to shoot and hunt with it, Savage likely chambers it in the 110 Trail Hunter.
Whatever caliber you choose, you’ll feed it to the Trail Hunter via a durable and removable box magazine, which holds from two to four rounds depending on caliber.
And to make life a little easier, Savage tops the Trail Hunter with dual sling-swivel studs and a two-piece, weaver-style optics base so you can easily add the scope of your choice without wasting time searching for the proper base for your platform and rings.
