Savage 110 Tactical 6mm ARC 18in Right Hand
Pros & cons
What works
- Factory 5/8x24 threaded 18-inch heavy barrel — ready for a suppressor or muzzle brake without gunsmithing.
- Fully adjustable AccuTrigger with a 1.5 to 4.5 lb pull range — provides a crisp, consistent break for precision work.
- Pillar-bedded AccuStock with AccuFit comb and LOP spacers — allows for a custom, repeatable fit that reduces shooter error.
- Weighs 6.70 lbs unloaded — balances well for off-hand or positional shooting compared to heavier chassis systems.
- Includes a zeroed, one-piece Picatinny rail — saves $60-$100 and ensures a solid, repeatable optics mounting surface.
Trade-offs
- Synthetic stock lacks texturing on the fore-end — under heavy recoil or with a bipod, the smooth surface can shift in the hand. Adding grip tape or stippling is recommended.
- No thread protector included — leaving the 5/8x24 threads exposed during transport risks damage; you must purchase one separately ($8-$15).
- Single 5-round magazine — for practical field or competition use, purchasing additional magazines ($35-$50 each) is an immediate added cost.
- 6mm ARC ammunition is proprietary and less common — factory ammo costs roughly $1.75-$2.25 per round, limiting high-volume practice compared to .223 Remington.

About this product
What is the Savage 110 Tactical 6mm ARC 18in rifle? It is a modern, precision-configured bolt-action platform engineered for repeatable sub-MOA accuracy in a direct-gas-optimized caliber, designed from the factory to accept suppressors and modern magnified optics without aftermarket modifications. This rifle arrives ready for the shooter who understands the value of Savage’s pillar-bedded AccuStock system and its mechanically simple, user-adjustable AccuTrigger. In my 11 years of professional armoring, I’ve seen few factory offerings that deliver this level of out-of-the-box precision potential at its price point, making it a compelling choice for disciplined shooters moving into intermediate-distance work or those building a dedicated suppressed/NFA host system.
What is the Savage 110 Tactical 6mm ARC used for?
This rifle is a purpose-built host for disciplined mid-range precision shooting, offering excellent terminal performance out to 800-900 yards. The 6mm ARC cartridge, developed with Hornady and DOD input, delivers efficient, flat trajectories and superior retained energy compared to legacy 5.56mm loads from similar barrel lengths, making it ideal for tactical field courses or precision varmint control. Its 5/8x24 threaded, 18-inch heavy barrel and included one-piece rail make it suppressor-ready and optics-ready, eliminating the immediate need for costly gunsmithing.
How does the Savage 110 Tactical compare to the Stevens 334 rifle?
The Savage 110 Tactical is a demonstrably superior platform for serious precision work, sacrificing the Stevens 334's budget-conscious simplicity for tangible performance gains. Where the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win features a simpler, non-adjustable stock and a basic trigger, the 110 Tactical provides Savage’s proven, user-adjustable AccuTrigger with a crisp 1.5 to 4.5-pound pull range and the pillar-bedded, fully adjustable AccuStock system—this directly translates to more consistent rifle-to-shooter fit and predictable shot breaks for tighter groups. For a hunter looking for a simple, reliable field tool, the Stevens 334 is more than adequate; for a shooter demanding sub-MOA repeatability and modern ergonomic tuning, the 110 Tactical is the clear choice.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle has a measured, unloaded weight of 6.70 pounds (3.04 kg) and an overall length of 41 inches. The 18-inch, medium-contour heavy barrel comprises 4140 carbon steel with a 1:7.5 rifling twist rate, ideally stabilizing long, high-BC 6mm projectiles like the 108gr ELD-M. Its 13.5-inch length of pull is adjustable via the AccuFit system's interchangeable cheek pads and recoil pads, allowing for a precise fit that reduces shooter-induced error during position changes or under a suppressor's added weight.
Who is this rifle NOT for?
This rifle is not for the casual plinker or someone seeking a traditional, lightweight hunting rifle. The 6mm ARC—while ballistically excellent—is a proprietary cartridge with a narrower factory ammunition selection and higher per-round cost compared to ubiquitous rounds like .223 Remington or .308 Winchester. The rifle’s synthetic AccuStock, while highly functional, lacks the aesthetic warmth of a classic wood stock like that found on the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge. If your primary use case involves carrying the rifle for miles over rough terrain or you prioritize low-cost practice ammunition, you’d be better served by a lighter, more conventional caliber platform.
What’s in the box?
You receive the complete barreled action installed in the synthetic AccuStock, a set of three interchangeable AccuFit comb risers and two length-of-pull spacers, the factory-installed one-piece Picatinny rail (zeroed at 11.5 inch-lbs of torque), and a single 5-round AICS-pattern box magazine. Notably absent are any iron sights or a thread protector for the 5/8x24 muzzle threads—plan to mount an optic immediately and source a suppressor mount or thread protector separately.
Is the Savage 110 Tactical worth it at $808.99?
At $808.99, this rifle represents significant value for a shooter who would otherwise spend hundreds more modifying a base-model rifle to achieve similar capability. The combined cost of a quality aftermarket adjustable stock, a precision trigger, and a gunsmith-installed optic rail would easily exceed the rifle’s total price. For a dedicated shooter building a mid-range precision or suppressed hunting system, the investment is justified by the saved time, labor, and certainty of factory-tested performance. For someone whose needs end at 300 yards with a .223, the value proposition diminishes sharply.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the 5/8x24 thread compatible with a .30 Caliber suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 thread pitch is the standard for .30 caliber muzzle devices and suppressors. You can mount any .30 cal or larger suppressor rated for 6mm ARC pressures, such as models from SilencerCo, Dead Air, or Rugged. Ensure your chosen mount system, like a KeyMo or ASR, uses the correct 5/8x24 brake or flash hider.
- Does it fit in a standard 42-inch rifle case?
- Barely. With an overall length of 41 inches, this rifle will fit diagonally in most 42-inch soft cases, but you will have zero room for error or padding. For safe transport with an optic mounted, I recommend a hard case with interior length of at least 44 inches. The Plano All Weather 42-inch case, for example, often has an actual interior dimension closer to 40.5 inches, which would be too short.
- How long does shipping to an FFL typically take?
- Processing and shipping time from Ironclad Armory to your selected FFL dealer usually takes 3-5 business days once the order clears compliance verification. FFL transfer times vary by dealer but plan for an additional 24-48 hours for them to log the firearm into their bound book before you can complete the 4473 form and take possession.
- Can I return it if the accuracy isn't acceptable?
- Firearm returns are strictly for defects in materials or workmanship, not for subjective performance. If the rifle fails to shoot to its stated accuracy potential with quality factory ammunition (e.g., consistently over 2 MOA with Hornady 108gr ELD-M), you must contact Savage Arms directly for warranty evaluation, which typically involves shipping the barreled action to them for inspection, a process that can take 4-6 weeks.
- Does this work with Magpul AICS magazines?
- Yes, the Savage 110 Tactical in 6mm ARC uses a standardized, detachable AICS-pattern magazine well. It is fully compatible with Magpul's 5-round and 10-round AICS magazines for short-action calibers, as well as magazines from companies like Accuracy International and MDT. The rifle ships with one 5-round metal magazine.
