Savage 110 Ultralite 7mm PRC 22in Carbon Barrel
Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 6 lbs (96 oz) — nearly 2 lbs lighter than a steel-barreled Savage 110 in the same caliber.
- PROOF Research carbon-wrapped barrel maintains sub-MOA accuracy with factory match ammo.
- AccuTrigger adjustable from 1.5 to 4 lbs provides a crisp, predictable break for precise shots.
- Adjustable AccuStock allows for 1 inch of length-of-pull and comb height customization.
Trade-offs
- 2+1 round magazine capacity is minimal; spare magazines are an additional $45-60 purchase.
- Carbon barrel heats faster than steel under sustained fire, impacting point of impact during extended range sessions.
- No optics mounting solution included; requires an additional $40-120 investment in bases/rings.
- Synthetic stock feels utilitarian; lacks the premium texture or finish of aftermarket chassis systems.

About this product
What is the Savage 110 Ultralite 7mm PRC 22in Carbon Barrel? It’s a precision hunting rifle built around a PROOF Research carbon-wrapped stainless steel barrel to achieve a 6 lb field weight while retaining a full-power 7mm PRC chambering. This configuration represents the current industry push for lightweight, long-range capable mountain rifles. The core mission is eliminating ounces without compromising the accuracy potential or terminal ballistics needed for ethical harvests at extended distances.
What is the Savage 110 Ultralite 7mm PRC used for?
This rifle is designed for mobile, long-range hunting in steep terrain. Its primary function is to deliver 7mm PRC ballistics—capable of cleanly taking elk-sized game beyond 600 yards—in a platform you can carry all day without fatigue. The 22-inch carbon-configured barrel shaves over a pound compared to a standard steel-barreled 110, making it ideal for backcountry hunts where every ounce counts over miles of elevation gain. The adjustable AccuStock and 1.5-4 lb AccuTrigger allow for a precise, repeatable fit and pull off-hand or from improvised rests.
How does the Savage 110 Ultralite compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 Ultralite is a purpose-built, lighter-weight precision instrument, while the Stevens 334 is a value-oriented, general-purpose hunting tool. The Ultralite’s PROOF Research carbon barrel and adjustable stock system make it 1.8 lbs lighter and far more tunable to the shooter than the fixed-synthetic-stock Stevens. For the shooter prioritizing maximum weight savings, caliber versatility, and long-range ergonomics, the Ultralite is superior; for the hunter needing a dependable, simple .308 Win rifle for shots under 300 yards, the Stevens 334 represents better value.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6 lbs (96 oz) as configured with its 22-inch barrel. The overall length is 42.5 inches, with a length of pull adjustable from 13.125 inches to 14.125 inches via AccuFit spacers. The barrel’s 1:8 twist rate stabilizes heavy, high-BC projectiles up to 190 grains, and the 5/8-24 muzzle threads accept direct-thread suppressors or muzzle brakes without an adapter. The magazine capacity is 2+1 rounds, a deliberate choice to minimize bulk and weight in the stock.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for benchrest shooters wanting to fire 50-round strings without barrel heat affecting point of impact. The carbon-wrapped barrel dissipates heat differently than a heavy steel barrel; while exceptionally accurate for hunting shot sequences, sustained rapid fire will cause point-of-impact shift faster. It’s also not ideal for strict budget hunters, as the $1503.99 price reflects premium barrel technology—you can get a functional hunting rifle like the Stevens 334 for nearly $1000 less. Finally, it’s not for those averse to tuning; the adjustable trigger and stock require initial setup to realize their benefits.
What's in the box?
You receive the barreled action seated in the adjustable AccuStock, one 2-round detachable box magazine, the AccuTrigger tool, and the set of AccuFit comb height and length-of-pull spacers. Notably, the box does not include a scope mount, rings, or any optic—this is a bare rifle. All necessary tools for basic trigger adjustment and stock fitting are included. The manual covers the 110 action function, AccuTrigger adjustment procedure, and warranty registration.
Is the Savage 110 Ultralite worth it at $1503.99?
Yes, if your priority is minimizing carried weight without sacrificing long-range capability. The $1503.99 price directly buys the PROOF Research carbon-wrapped barrel, which accounts for roughly $700 of the cost and is the primary source of the weight savings and consistent accuracy. Compared to having a custom rifle built with a similar barrel, this is an off-the-shelf bargain. For the hunter investing in a dedicated mountain rifle for elk, mule deer, or similar in open country, the performance per dollar is justified. For general woods hunting or range use, a standard Stevens 334 in .243 Win is a more economical choice.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes. The barrel features 5/8-24 tpi threads, which is the standard thread pitch for .30 caliber and many 6.5mm/7mm muzzle devices and direct-thread suppressors. You can mount most .30 cal cans from manufacturers like SilencerCo, Dead Air, or Rugged without an adapter. Always check concentricity with an alignment rod before firing.
- Does it come with a scope mount or bases?
- No. The Savage 110 action uses a standardized Savage 110 scope mount footprint (front and rear receiver holes). You will need to purchase separate scope bases or a one-piece Picatinny rail. Popular options are from Warne, EGW, or Seekins Precision, which typically cost between $40 and $120.
- How long does shipping to an FFL take?
- Ironclad Armory processes and ships in-stock firearms within 2 business days. Transit time via FedEx or UPS 2-Day Air to your chosen FFL dealer is typically 3-5 additional business days. You must contact your FFL in advance to provide their license and coordinate the transfer.
- Can the trigger pull weight be adjusted lower than 1.5 lbs?
- No. The AccuTrigger is factory-set and certified for a safe adjustment range between 1.5 pounds and 4 pounds. Attempting to adjust it below 1.5 lbs can compromise sear engagement and create an unsafe, potentially slam-firing condition. The 1.5 lb minimum is ideal for precision hunting.
- What is the warranty period?
- Savage Arms provides a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner for material and workmanship defects. This warranty is handled directly through Savage, not Ironclad Armory. The warranty process typically requires a valid proof of purchase and takes 2-4 weeks for evaluation and repair.
