Savage 110 Trail Hunter — 6.5 Creedmoor 22 in. Threaded

About this product

What is the Savage 110 Trail Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor? It's a purpose-built, suppressor-ready bolt-action hunting rifle with a weight-forward barrel contour and ruggedized coatings. This isn't a range toy built for benchrest groups; this is a rifle engineered to maintain zero while you're humping miles of elk country, with practical features like a threaded muzzle, overmolded stock, and a fully adjustable trigger that operates in a wide temperature envelope.

What is the Savage 110 Trail Hunter used for?

This rifle is for the hunter who expects to encounter adverse weather, from Montana sleet to Arizona dust, and needs a platform that will function and maintain corrosion resistance when carried far from a shop kit. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is optimized for terminal performance on medium-sized game like deer, antelope, and elk out to ranges of roughly 500 yards, delivering superior ballistic coefficient and reduced recoil compared to legacy .308 Winchester loads. The 22-inch threaded barrel profile provides the velocity sweet spot for hunting ammo while being short enough for practical suppressor use, making it an ideal host for a direct-thread or QD muzzle device under a properly documented Title II suppressor.

How does the Savage 110 Trail Hunter compare to the Stevens 334?

The Savage 110 Trail Hunter is mechanically superior and more specialized for backcountry use than the Stevens 334, our budget-friendly hunting rifle. The 110 features Savage's premium AccuTrigger system, adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds, while the 334 uses a simpler, non-adjustable unit. The 110's heavier 22-inch barrel is threaded 5/8"-24 for suppressors and muzzle brakes, a feature absent on the standard 334. Where the Stevens 334 excels as a capable, no-frills truck gun for under $400, the 110 Trail Hunter justifies its price with superior environmental sealing via Cerakote, a user-adjustable trigger, and suppressor-ready threading out of the box.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The action and barrel, with bases mounted, weigh 5.3 lb, and the Hogue OverMolded stock accounts for the remaining weight, bringing the total system weight to a solid 8.0 lb unloaded. At 42.5 inches in overall length, adding a suppressor like a SilencerCo Harvester Evo (7.6 inches) will push total length past 50 inches, a factor to consider for transport and blind use. The 22-inch barrel gives you a 1:8 twist rate, which will reliably stabilize long, high-BC bullets up to 147 grains, and the 5-round detachable magazine protrudes approximately 1.25 inches below the stock line.

Who is this NOT for?

This is not a rifle for the ultra-lightweight hunter—models like the Kimber Mountain Ascent will save you over 2.5 lb. It's also not for the pure competition shooter, as the medium-heavy barrel contour prioritizes stiffness and suppressor mounting over maximum heat dissipation for high-volume strings of fire. If your primary need is a plinking rifle for sub-200 yard work on paper, the lower cost and simpler feature set of the Stevens 334 is the more logical allocation of funds.

What's in the box?

You will receive the barreled action, the Hogue OverMolded stock, one 5-round detachable AICS-pattern magazine, and the two-piece Weaver-style bases. Notably absent are scope rings, a thread protector, and any form of thread chaser. You must supply your own optics, rings, and a muzzle device or thread protector, as the exposed 5/8"-24 threads are unprotected in shipment.

Is the Savage 110 Trail Hunter worth it at $567.99?

Yes, if your primary use case is hunting with a suppressor where environmental resistance and reliable feeding are non-negotiable. At this price point, you are paying for the Cerakote finish, suppressor-ready barrel threading, and the fully adjustable AccuTrigger—features that would cost $250+ to add aftermarket to a base model. For a shooter who plans to run this rifle hard and keep it for decades, the investment in durable finishes and practical features is justified. If you will never use a suppressor and hunt exclusively in fair weather, that money might be better spent on higher-quality optics.
