About this product
The Savage 110 Ultralite Left-Hand .30-06 22in Carbon is a purpose-built bolt-action hunting rifle engineered for left-handed shooters who demand lightweight precision without sacrificing reliability. This rifle combines Savage's proven 110 action with PROOF Research's carbon-wrapped barrel technology to deliver sub-MOA accuracy at just 5.85 pounds total weight. Built specifically for backcountry hunters who count every ounce, it maintains full-length ballistics with its 22-inch barrel while offering suppressor-ready threading and adjustable ergonomics.
What is the Savage 110 Ultralite Left-Hand used for?
This rifle is designed for left-handed hunters pursuing elk, bear, and large game in mountainous terrain where every ounce matters. The 5.85-pound weight makes it ideal for multi-day backpack hunts, while the .30-06 Springfield cartridge delivers reliable terminal performance at ranges up to 400 yards. I've found it particularly effective in the steep country around Bozeman where weight savings translate directly to increased mobility and shot opportunities.
How does the Savage 110 Ultralite compare to the Stevens 334?
The Savage 110 Ultralite outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in both weight reduction and accuracy potential, though at nearly triple the price. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 7.2 pounds and typically delivers 1.5-2 MOA groups, the Savage Ultralite drops to 5.85 pounds while consistently achieving sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition. The carbon-wrapped barrel provides better heat dissipation and stiffness compared to the Stevens' conventional chrome-moly barrel, resulting in more consistent shot placement during extended shooting sessions.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5.85 pounds (93.6 ounces) with an overall length of 42.5 inches and barrel length of 22 inches. The carbon-wrapped barrel measures 0.650 inches at the muzzle with 5/8-24 threading, while the synthetic stock features adjustable length of pull from 13.25 to 14.5 inches. The magazine capacity is 4 rounds, and the bolt throw measures 90 degrees with a 4.4-inch travel distance.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for budget-conscious shooters or those who prefer right-handed operation. At $1507.99, it commands a premium over entry-level options like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win, and left-handed configuration limits aftermarket stock options. The lightweight design also transmits more recoil than heavier rifles, making it less suitable for extended range sessions or recoil-sensitive shooters.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 4-round magazine, thread protector, and AccuFit comb/stock adjustment tools. Unlike some competitors, it does not include scope bases or sling swivels, adding approximately $40-60 in necessary accessories. The packaging meets all ITAR requirements with proper locking mechanisms and documentation, weighing 8.2 pounds total shipping weight.
Is the Savage 110 Ultralite worth it at $1507.99?
Yes, for left-handed hunters who prioritize weight savings and accuracy above all else. The carbon-wrapped barrel alone would cost $800+ as an aftermarket upgrade, making the complete package competitively priced against custom builds. Compared to building a similar rifle from components, you're saving approximately 12-16 weeks of wait time and ensuring proper headspacing and warranty coverage from Savage.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the muzzle threading compatible with suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8-24 threading is standard for .30 caliber suppressors. I've mounted both SilencerCo Omega 300 and Dead Air Nomad-L models without issues. The thread protector is included but you'll need to purchase a muzzle device separately if not running direct thread.
- Does it accept aftermarket stocks?
- Limited options exist for left-handed Savage 110 actions. McMillan and Manners offer custom stocks starting around $600 with 12-16 week lead times. The factory AccuFit system provides adequate adjustment for most shooters without needing replacement.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments typically take 3-5 business days via FedEx from our warehouse. All firearms ship within 24 hours of FFL verification and require adult signature upon delivery. Montana residents should expect no additional state waiting periods beyond the 4473 check.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- We offer 30-day returns for mechanical defects but not for accuracy dissatisfaction. Savage guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with premium ammunition—if your rifle doesn't meet this standard, contact their customer service for barrel evaluation. Most issues resolve with proper break-in (20-30 rounds) and torque specifications.
