Savage 110 Apex Predator XP 6.5 Creedmoor 24 in. w/ Vortex
About this product
The Savage 110 Apex Predator XP 6.5 Creedmoor 24 in. w/ Vortex is a complete long-range hunting package featuring a precision-tuned bolt-action and factory-mounted Vortex optic designed for consistent sub-MOA performance. This out-of-the-box system eliminates the need for separate scope mounting and zeroing, providing immediate field readiness. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 24-inch heavy barrel, it's engineered for extended-range terminal ballistics and minimal wind drift.
What is the Savage 110 Apex Predator XP used for?
This rifle is specifically designed for precision hunting and extended-range shooting applications where consistent sub-MOA accuracy is required. The 24-inch barrel maintains high muzzle velocity for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, while the threaded muzzle accepts suppressors for reduced recoil and noise signature. Compared to shorter-barreled options like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win, it provides approximately 150-200 fps additional velocity for flatter trajectories beyond 400 yards.
How does the Savage 110 Apex Predator XP compare to the Ruger American Predator?
The Savage system provides superior out-of-the-box value with its factory-mounted Vortex optics package, while the Ruger requires separate optic purchase and mounting. The Savage's AccuTrigger offers a cleaner, more precise break at 2.5-4.5 pounds compared to Ruger's Marksman trigger, and its 24-inch barrel maintains velocity better than Ruger's 22-inch configuration. However, the Ruger's shorter 42.5-inch overall length makes it slightly more maneuverable in tight hunting scenarios.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 9.91 pounds with the optics installed and measures 44.5 inches in overall length. The 24-inch heavy barrel features a 1:8 twist rate optimized for stabilizing heavier 140-147 grain projectiles. The adjustable stock provides a length-of-pull range from 13.5 to 14.5 inches, accommodating shooters from 5'8" to over 6'4" without modification.
Who is this NOT for?
This system is not ideal for close-quarters hunting or mountain hunting where weight and length become significant liabilities. At nearly 10 pounds and over 44 inches long, it's substantially heavier and longer than compact alternatives like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win which weighs 6.5 pounds. Hunters requiring rapid target acquisition inside 200 yards would be better served by lighter, shorter-barreled platforms.
What's in the box?
The package includes the Savage 110 Apex Predator rifle with factory-mounted and bore-sighted Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x44mm scope, one 4-round detachable magazine, and thread protector. The scope comes with factory-set ¼ MOA turrets and a dead-hold BDC reticle calibrated for 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics. Total package weight shipped is approximately 14.5 pounds including all factory packaging materials.
Is the Savage 110 Apex Predator XP worth it at $738.99?
At this price point, it represents excellent value considering the Vortex Crossfire II scope alone retails for $249. The complete system saves approximately $150-200 compared to purchasing components separately and paying for professional mounting services. For hunters seeking a turn-key precision system capable of consistent 1.5-inch groups at 200 yards with factory ammunition, this package eliminates both the financial and technical barriers to long-range accuracy.
