Savage 110 Magpul Scout .450 Bushmaster 16.5 in FDE
Pros & cons
What works
- 8.4 lb weight is manageable for a .450 BM, 1.2 lb lighter than many comparable Ruger American Ranch models
- 16.5-inch threaded barrel with muzzle brake reduces perceived recoil by an estimated 30%
- AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from 2.5 to 4.5 pounds for a crisp break
- Magpul Hunter stock features an aluminum bedding block for consistent sub-MOA potential
Trade-offs
- .450 Bushmaster ammunition costs average $2.25 per round—nearly triple the cost of .308 Win
- No iron sights are included; the description's mention is an error—you must supply your own optic
- The 4-round magazine capacity is limiting for some states with different hunting regulations

About this product
The Savage 110 Magpul Scout .450 Bushmaster is a bolt-action rifle engineered for big-game hunting at close to moderate ranges, built on Savage's proven 110 action and dressed in a purpose-driven Magpul Hunter stock. Chambered for the potent .450 Bushmaster, it bridges the gap between traditional rifle power and the handling needs of dense-cover hunting. This configuration, with its 16.5-inch barrel and specialized furniture, is a direct response to the growing demand for straight-wall cartridge rifles in regulated hunting zones.
What is the Savage 110 Magpul Scout used for?
This rifle is designed for taking large game like whitetail deer and black bear at ranges under 200 yards, particularly in regions mandating straight-wall cartridges. The .450 Bushmaster cartridge delivers decisive energy on target, making it an ethical choice for hunting in thick brush or wooded areas. Its compact 38.5-inch overall length and 8.4-pound weight make it exceptionally maneuverable from a blind or when stalking.
How does the Savage 110 Magpul Scout compare to the Stevens 334?
The Savage 110 Scout is purpose-built for a specific legal and ballistic niche, while the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win is a more traditional, versatile hunting platform. The Savage is superior for hunters restricted to straight-wall cartridges or those prioritizing close-range stopping power, whereas the Stevens 334 chambered in .308 Winchester offers significantly flatter trajectory and longer effective range for open-country hunting. The Savage's Magpul stock and AccuTrigger system also represent a higher tier of ergonomic and trigger refinement.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 8.4 pounds unloaded and measures 38.5 inches in overall length. The barrel is 16.5 inches long with a 5/8x24 thread pattern, and the Magpul Hunter stock features an adjustable length of pull ranging from approximately 12.5 to 14.5 inches. These dimensions create a balanced package that shoulders quickly and remains stable off-hand.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not the rifle for a varmint hunter or someone planning shots beyond 250 yards. The .450 Bushmaster cartridge has a pronounced trajectory drop, making long-range shooting impractical compared to a flat-shooting round like the 6.5 Creedmoor. It's also a poor choice for a first-time shooter, as the significant recoil and ammunition cost are better suited to experienced handlers. Consider a Stevens 334 in .243 Win for a lighter-recoiling introduction to centerfire rifles.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle, one 4-round AICS-pattern magazine, and the factory-installed muzzle brake. The box includes the standard Savage owner's manual, a trigger adjustment tool for the AccuTrigger, and a chamber flag. There are no optics or rings included, so budget for a quality low-power variable optic or a red dot to mount on the integrated scout rail.
Is the Savage 110 Magpul Scout worth it at $935.99?
At just under $936, this rifle delivers exceptional value for a hunter needing a compliant, hard-hitting tool. The combination of the refined Savage 110 action, the highly customizable Magpul stock, and the specialized chambering justifies the premium over base-model rifles. When you factor in the cost of aftermarket upgrades, buying this integrated package from the factory is often more economical, saving you at least $200 in parts and gunsmithing.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes, the barrel has a standard 5/8x24 thread pattern under the factory muzzle brake, which is directly compatible with many .45-caliber suppressors like the SilencerCo Hybrid 46. Always confirm your suppressor's thread pitch and ensure proper alignment before mounting to avoid a baffle strike.
- What type of magazines does it use?
- It uses Magpul's proprietary AICS-pattern .450 Bushmaster magazines, which have a 4-round capacity. These magazines are robust and feed reliably, but they are specific to this caliber and not interchangeable with standard .308 AICS mags sold for rifles like the Stevens 334.
- Can the iron sights be removed?
- Yes, the adjustable iron sights are mounted to the scout rail via a dovetail base and can be removed with a hex key in about 2 minutes to allow for a clean optic mounting surface. I recommend keeping a set of sight adjustment tools on hand as the rear sight is windage and elevation adjustable.
- How long does standard shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes in-stock firearms for shipment to your local FFL within 2 business days. Transit time via FedEx or UPS Ground typically adds 3-5 business days, so expect the transfer process to be initiated at your dealer within a week of ordering.
