Savage 110 Precision .338 Lapua Magnum – 24 in FDE
About this product
What is the Savage 110 Precision .338 Lapua Magnum? It's a factory-built long-range rifle platform that combines Savage's proven 110 action with an MDT LSS XL chassis system, designed specifically for competition shooting and extreme-distance engagements where consistent sub-MOA performance matters. This isn't a hunting rifle accidentally pressed into precision duty—it's purpose-built from the chassis up for shooters who measure groups in hundredths, not inches.
What is the Savage 110 Precision used for?
The Savage 110 Precision is engineered for competitive long-range shooting disciplines like PRS and military-style sniper competitions where distances regularly exceed 1000 yards. Chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, it delivers the energy retention and wind-bucking capability needed for consistent hits on steel targets at 1500+ yards—something smaller calibers struggle with in variable conditions. The heavy 24-inch barrel maintains accuracy through extended firing strings, while the MDT chassis provides the stability demanded by positional shooting.
How does the Savage 110 Precision compare to the Stevens 334?
The Savage 110 Precision is fundamentally different from the Stevens 334 in .308 Win—it's a specialized long-range system versus an all-purpose hunting rifle. While the Stevens 334 weighs just 6.5 pounds and handles like a traditional sporter, the Savage 110 Precision clocks in at 11.05 pounds with its heavy barrel and aluminum chassis. The Savage is better for repeated precision shots from fixed positions, while the Stevens excels at portability and quick handling in the field.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 11.05 pounds unloaded and measures 43.6-44.6 inches overall depending on stock adjustment. That weight is substantial—nearly double what you'd carry in a Stevens 555 shotgun—but critical for stability when shooting the punishing .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge. The 24-inch carbon steel barrel provides optimal velocity for the cartridge while remaining manageable for transport, and the threaded 5/8-24 muzzle accommodates suppressors without barrel modifications.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is absolutely not for casual plinkers or budget-conscious hunters who won't utilize its long-range capabilities. At $1,507.99, it represents a significant investment that only makes sense if you're regularly shooting beyond 800 yards or competing in precision rifle series events. The .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition costs $6-8 per round versus $1.50 for .308 Winchester, making practice sessions exponentially more expensive than with smaller calibers.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 5-round AICS-pattern detachable magazine, the factory-installed BA muzzle brake, and the pre-mounted 20 MOA EGW rail. Unlike some competitors, Savage includes the essential mounting hardware you need to get behind glass immediately—saving you the $75-150 you'd spend separately on a quality rail. The chassis comes fully assembled with all adjustments functional out of the box, requiring no additional gunsmithing for basic operation.
Is the Savage 110 Precision worth it at $1,507.99?
At this price point, the Savage 110 Precision delivers exceptional value compared to custom-built .338 Lapua rifles that often start above $4,000. You're getting a proven action system paired with MDT's competition-proven chassis at roughly half the cost of building similar performance from scratch. For serious shooters who need .338 Lapua performance without custom gunmaker wait times, this represents one of the most cost-effective entry points into true long-range capability available today.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AICS magazines?
- Yes, the Savage 110 Precision uses standard AICS-pattern magazines, specifically the 5-round .338 Lapua Magnum configuration. You can use aftermarket options from MDT, Accuracy International, or Magpul without modification. The factory includes one magazine, but additional mags typically cost $75-120 each from major manufacturers.
- Does the muzzle threading accommodate suppressors?
- The 5/8-24 threading is standard for .30 caliber and larger suppressors, compatible with most major brands like SilencerCo, Dead Air, and SureFire. You'll need to verify your specific suppressor's thread pitch, but this is the industry standard for .338 caliber applications. Plan for 8-12 month ATF approval times for suppressor ownership.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Firearms ship within 3-5 business days to your selected FFL dealer once payment clears. Transit time depends on carrier, but most shipments arrive within 7-10 business days continental US. You must coordinate directly with your FFL for transfer procedures and background check scheduling upon arrival.
- Can I return it if there are mechanical issues?
- Savage Arms provides a one-year warranty covering manufacturing defects—returns for mechanical issues go directly through their customer service with typical 2-3 week turnaround for repairs. Cosmetic issues or buyer's remorse returns are handled through Ironclad Armory's 30-day policy, but all firearms returns require FFL-to-FFL shipping at customer expense.
- Does this work with aftermarket triggers?
- The AccuTrigger system accepts most aftermarket triggers designed for Savage 110 actions, including options from Timney and Jard. Installation typically requires basic gunsmithing tools and takes about 15-20 minutes for experienced users. The factory trigger adjusts from 1.5 to 4 pounds, which satisfies most competition shooters without modification.
