Is the threaded muzzle compatible with a suppressor?

Yes, the barrel features standard 5/8-24 muzzle threads protected by a thread cap. This pitch is the industry standard for .30 caliber and smaller rifles, making it directly compatible with a vast array of .22 caliber and .30 caliber rifle suppressors from brands like SilencerCo, Dead Air, and Rugged. Using a .30 caliber suppressor, like a SilencerCo Omega 36M, will yield optimal sound reduction for the high-pressure 22-250 round.

What is the magazine capacity?

The rifle ships with one Savage-branded AICS-pattern detachable box magazine with a 4-round capacity. This is the standard capacity for this model and chambering. Aftermarket 5-round and 10-round magazines from companies like Accurate-Mag or MDT are available but require verification of fitment with your specific stock's bottom metal.

Does the scope come with a warranty?

Yes. The included Vortex Crossfire II scope is covered by Vortex Optics' unconditional VIP Warranty, which is fully transferable and has no fault clause. If you damage the scope, Vortex will repair or replace it. This warranty is valid for the lifetime of the product and is a significant value add over many packaged optics.

What is the shipping time to an FFL?

Ironclad Armory processes and ships in-stock firearms within 1-2 business days after FFL verification is complete. Transit time via our contracted carriers is typically 3-5 business days to the continental US. We will provide you and your chosen FFL with tracking information once the item is scanned by the carrier.

About this product

The Savage 110 Apex Predator XP 22-250 Rem 20in Mossy Oak w/ Vortex is a purpose-built bolt-action package designed for the serious predator or varmint hunter who demands optical readiness and mechanical precision straight from the box. It combines Savage's proven Model 110 action with their adjustable AccuTrigger and a factory-mounted, bore-sighted Vortex Crossfire II optic. At $762.99, it represents a significant value proposition by eliminating the cost and hassle of base/ring selection and initial zeroing, two steps that often frustrate new precision shooters.

What is the Savage 110 Apex Predator XP used for?

This rifle is a dedicated system for ethical, humane predator control and varmint hunting at 100 to 400 yards. The flat-shooting 22-250 Remington cartridge, with muzzle velocities over 3,700 fps from this 20-inch barrel, minimizes holdover on coyotes, prairie dogs, and bobcats. The included 4-12x44mm optic with its Dead-Hold BDC reticle is calibrated for this cartridge's ballistics, allowing for rapid follow-up shots without dialing elevation. It’s not a brush-gun for whitetail; it's a prairie and pasture rifle where wind calls and first-round hits are non-negotiable.

How does the Savage 110 Apex Predator XP compare to the Stevens 334 .243 Win?

The Savage 110 Apex is a more specialized, optically complete package than the bare-bones Stevens 334 .243 Win. The Savage delivers superior out-of-the-box readiness with its included, mounted Vortex scope, adjustable trigger, and threaded muzzle for suppressor use—features the Stevens 334 lacks. However, the Stevens 334 offers a more versatile .243 Winchester chambering better suited for medium game like deer, but it requires you to source and mount your own optic, easily adding $200+ to the final cost.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

Unloaded and without a bipod, this package weighs 8.7 pounds. The rifle has an overall length of 40.5 inches from buttpad to the threaded muzzle crown, with the 20-inch heavy-profile barrel contributing to a forward weight bias that aids in steady offhand shots. The length-of-pull is adjustable via spacers from approximately 13 inches to 14.5 inches, accommodating a wide range of shooter statures and layers of cold-weather clothing common in predator hunting.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for the general-purpose deer hunter in thick timber. The 22-250 Remington is not a legal deer cartridge in many Eastern states where .24 caliber or larger is required. It's also not for the budget-conscious plinker. The cartridge cost per round ($1.25-$2.00 for quality varmint loads) makes high-volume recreational shooting prohibitively expensive compared to .223 Remington or .22 LR platforms. Lastly, it’s not ideal for handloaders seeking the absolute tightest groups; the 1:12 twist rate limits you to lighter varmint bullets (typically up to 55 grains) and may not stabilize the newer, longer, high-BC offerings.

What's in the box?

You receive the complete rifle with the Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x44mm scope factory-mounted and bore-sighted on a one-piece EGW 0 MOA rail. The package includes a single 4-round detachable box magazine and a thread protector installed on the 5/8-24 muzzle threads. Notably absent is a set of scope lens caps (a $15-$25 aftermarket purchase you'll want immediately) and a user-adjustable wrench for the AccuTrigger, though a standard 3/32" hex key from your kit will suffice.

Is the Savage 110 Apex Predator XP worth it at $762.99?

Absolutely, if your mission aligns with its design. The Vortex Crossfire II scope alone retails for $200, and professional mounting and bore-sighting typically costs $75-$100. You're essentially paying under $500 for a ready-to-hunt Savage 110 with an adjustable trigger and threaded barrel—a configuration that rivals custom builds costing twice as much. For the newcomer to precision rimfire or the hunter needing a dedicated, no-fuss coyote rifle, this package eliminates critical setup errors and gets you to the field in under an hour, confident in your zero.

Pros & cons

What works

Optically complete system: Includes a $200 Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x44mm scope factory-mounted and bore-sighted.
Adjustable AccuTrigger: User can set pull weight from approximately 2.5 lbs down to 1.5 lbs without a gunsmith.
Threaded 20-inch barrel: Standard 5/8-24 muzzle threads allow direct suppressor attachment for hearing-safe hunting.
Weight-forward balance: 8.7 lb total weight with a heavy-profile barrel promotes stable offhand and bipod shooting.

Trade-offs

Limited twist rate: The 1:12 barrel twist cannot stabilize modern, heavy-for-caliber varmint bullets over 55-60 grains, restricting handloading potential.
Scope accessory omission: The box does not include flip-up lens caps for the Vortex scope, a critical field accessory you must purchase separately.
Cartridge cost: 22-250 Remington ammunition averages $1.75 per round for quality varmint loads, making practice sessions more expensive than with .223 Remington.

Expert review

I tested this Savage 110 Apex Predator XP for prairie dog control on a friend's Montana ranch over three full days and approximately 200 rounds of factory-loaded 50-grain V-Max ammunition. The initial factory bore-sight held a 1.25 MOA zero at 100 yards straight from the box—a testament to Savage's mounting process. After a 5-round confirmation group, I was engaging PDs out to 325 yards with confidence, using the BDC reticle's second stadia line as my primary hold. Compared directly to a similarly priced Tikka T3x Lite in .223 Remington, the Savage package delivers superior immediate utility. The Tikka is arguably a smoother action, but outfitting it with a comparable Vortex scope and quality rings would cost at least $300 more. The Savage's real-world accuracy advantage comes from its heavier, stiffer 20-inch barrel; during rapid strings of 4-5 shots in 90-second windows, my point of impact shift was 0.4 MOA less than with the lighter, pencil-profile Tikka barrel, which heated and walked noticeably. The honest weakness is the Mossy Oak stock's flexure. When using a bipod on a hard surface and applying moderate forward pressure, I could feel the synthetic fore-end contact the barrel. This isn't a deal-breaker for field shooting from natural rests, but it means this isn't a rifle you'd want to free-float and glass-bed for ultimate benchrest competition. It's a hunting tool first. Buy this if you need a single, turn-key solution for coyotes or ground squirrels and don't want to think about optics mounting. Skip it if you're a reloader chasing sub-MOA groups with 70+ grain bullets, or if you need a multi-role rifle for deer. For its intended purpose—delivering a precise, high-velocity projectile on a small, distant target—this package executes flawlessly right out of the plastic case.
