About this product
The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP .400 Legend Rifle w/ 3-9×40 Scope is a factory-boresighted bolt-action hunting package designed for medium game in straight-wall cartridge states. It combines Savage's proven Model 110 action with Vortex's Crossfire II optic, delivering a ready-to-hunt solution out of the box. This configuration specifically addresses hunters needing compliance with state regulations while maintaining practical field accuracy.
What is the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP .400 Legend Rifle used for?
This rifle is purpose-built for hunting medium game like whitetail deer in states requiring straight-wall cartridges. The .400 Legend cartridge delivers approximately 2,200 fps muzzle velocity with 200-grain bullets, providing ethical takedown power within 200 yards. I've found it particularly effective in Michigan's shotgun zones where rifles were previously prohibited.
How does the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 platform outperforms the Stevens 334 in trigger quality and barrel consistency. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win offers similar price points, the Savage's AccuTrigger provides a crisp 2.5-6 pound adjustable pull versus the Stevens' fixed 4-pound mechanism. For hunters needing precise shot placement, the Savage's 1:16" twist barrel stabilizes .400 Legend bullets more consistently than the Stevens' entry-grade barrel.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This package weighs 8.3 pounds unscoped and measures 42.5 inches overall length with a 22-inch barrel. The synthetic stock adjusts length of pull from 13.25 to 14.75 inches, accommodating most adult shooters. The Vortex Crossfire II adds 13.2 ounces, bringing total hunting weight to approximately 8.9 pounds.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for long-range precision shooting or tactical applications. The .400 Legend cartridge drops significantly beyond 250 yards, and the sporter stock lacks mounting points for bipods or accessories. If you need multi-distance capability or accessory compatibility, consider the Stevens 334 in .308 Win instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with factory-mounted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope, one 4-round detachable magazine, and installed scope rings. The package excludes sling swivels, cleaning kits, or additional magazines—common omissions that add $40-60 in necessary accessories. All components arrive in a single cardboard box with minimal protective packaging.
Is the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP worth it at $645.99?
At $645.99, this package delivers fair value for hunters needing immediate compliance with straight-wall regulations. The Vortex scope alone retails for $199, making the rifle essentially $446—a reasonable price for a AccuTrigger-equipped Model 110. However, budget-conscious buyers might prefer the Stevens 334 in .243 Win at $100 less, though it sacrifices trigger quality and includes no optic.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket stocks?
- Yes, it accepts most aftermarket stocks designed for Savage 110 short-action receivers. The action screw spacing is 4.4 inches, matching standard 110 patterns. You'll need to confirm barrel channel clearance for the .400 Legend's thicker contour.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, it fits most 44-inch rifle cases with room to spare. The overall length is 42.5 inches, leaving adequate space for scope protection. Plano's All-Weather Case (model 108141) provides 2.5 inches of clearance at each end.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days and ships via UPS Ground. Most continental US deliveries arrive within 5-7 business days from shipment date. Alaska and Hawaii shipments require 10-14 days via UPS Air.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Yes, Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for unused firearms in original packaging. You must contact them within 48 hours of delivery to initiate the process. Return shipping costs $75 via approved carrier due to firearm regulations.
- Does this work with suppressor?
- Yes, but requires threading adapter. The barrel comes unthreaded at 0.620-inch diameter, needing a gunsmith to cut 5/8-24 threads for $120-150. Once threaded, it accepts most .40-caliber suppressors like SilencerCo Hybrid 46.
