Savage 110 Hog Hunter .308 Win 20″ Threaded Barrel

About this product

The Savage 110 Hog Hunter .308 Win 20" Threaded Barrel is a purpose-built, bolt-action hunting rifle designed to deliver reliable mechanical precision in demanding field conditions under 500 yards. This 7.3-pound rifle combines a utilitarian 20-inch medium-contour carbon steel barrel with Savage's famously adaptable AccuFit stock system. I specifically evaluate builds like this for their regulatory readiness regarding suppressors and their field reliability, not for benchrest competition.

What is the Savage 110 Hog Hunter .308 Win 20" Threaded Barrel used for?

This rifle is engineered for close-to-medium-range hunting of heavy-bodied game like hogs and deer in dense timber or brush. Its 20-inch barrel length makes it far more maneuverable in a ground blind or thickets than a standard 24-inch hunting rifle while maintaining sufficient velocity for the .308 Winchester cartridge. The threaded muzzle and drilled-and-tapped receiver allow for immediate suppressor or muzzle brake attachment and optic mounting without requiring a gunsmith, which is a critical legal compliance consideration for hunters operating near residential areas with noise ordinances. The adjustable iron sights provide a functional backup if your primary optic fails.

How does the Savage 110 Hog Hunter compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win?

The Savage 110 Hog Hunter is better suited for the serious hunter or suppressor owner who needs factory-ready adaptability from its adjustable stock and trigger. The primary mechanical difference is the inclusion of the user-configurable AccuTrigger, which can be set between 2.5 and 6 pounds, and the AccuFit stock system that allows for a 0.75-inch adjustment in length of pull. The Stevens 334 (.308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic) is a simpler, more cost-effective utility rifle with a standard non-adjustable trigger and synthetic stock, better for a budget-conscious buyer who will mount an optic and never change the configuration. For the price, you're paying for Savage's precision-oriented chassis DNA rather than Stevens's stripped-down reliability.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 7.3 pounds unloaded and has an overall length of 40.5 inches with the standard LOP spacers installed. The 20-inch barrel has a 1:10 twist rate optimized for stabilizing heavier .308 bullets up to 220 grains, and the medium contour provides stiffness without the excessive weight of a bull barrel. The receiver is standard long-action length, measuring 8.58 inches, which ensures consistent feeding and extraction from the .308 Winchester's relatively short case head. Compared to most tactical bolt actions, this rifle balances faster, with a center of gravity approximately 5.5 inches forward of the trigger guard.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for precision long-range shooters chasing sub-MOA groups beyond 600 yards, due to its lighter, more thermally sensitive barrel contour. It's also a poor choice for a first-time firearm buyer because the AccuTrigger's adjustment mechanism and potential for suppressor paperwork add regulatory complexity. If your primary need is simple, low-cost function for infrequent range use, the Stevens 334 Rifle is a more suitable option, lacking the adjustable features that define this model. Finally, the olive-drab synthetic stock feels utilitarian, not premium, which will disappoint shooters accustomed to fine-grained laminate or walnut.

What's in the box?

This rifle ships with the firearm itself, one 4-round detachable box magazine (AICS pattern), the AccuFit system's comb riser kit (three heights) and length-of-pull spacers (three thicknesses), a factory-installed thread protector (5/8"-24), and the necessary Allen wrench for trigger and stock adjustments. Notably, the iron sights are installed but unzeroed, requiring about 40 rounds of initial ammunition to properly set elevation and windage. The box does not include scope bases or rings, which must be purchased separately, typically adding $40-$80 to the setup cost.

Is the Savage 110 Hog Hunter worth it at $613.99?

Yes, for a hunter who specifically requires a threaded barrel and adjustable stock from the factory, this rifle provides good value by avoiding $250+ in aftermarket gunsmithing. The $613.99 price buys the foundational components of a versatile hunting platform that can be precisely fitted to the shooter and accept a muzzle device without modification. If you do not need suppressor compatibility or stock adjustability, a rifle like the Stevens 334 mentioned earlier can be found for approximately $150-200 less, making this an investment in specific, pragmatic adaptability.
