Savage 110 Trailblazer 7mm PRC 22 in Bolt-Action Rifle
About this product
The Savage 110 Trailblazer 7mm PRC 22 in is a purpose-built, field-ready bolt-action rifle designed as a balanced platform for hunters and long-range shooters requiring consistent performance. It's a direct iteration of Savage's 110-series lineage, refined with modern features like a factory-threaded muzzle and adjustable polymer stock.
What is the Savage 110 Trailblazer used for?
The Savage 110 Trailblazer is used for western-style hunting at extended ranges, long-range target work, and as a training rifle for shooters moving into modern magnum cartridges. It's chambered in 7mm PRC—a cartridge delivering between 2900 to 3000 fps with 175-grain bullets—which makes it effective on elk-sized game past 600 yards when paired with proper optics. The adjustable stock and threaded 5/8-24 muzzle allow for a suppressor or brake to manage the cartridge's substantial recoil, translating to better shot follow-through and less shooter fatigue.
How does the Savage 110 Trailblazer compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Savage 110 Trailblazer is a more specialized and higher-performance platform than the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win, specifically in terms of long-range ballistic capability and action refinement. The 110 Trailblazer's user-adjustable AccuTrigger system offers a cleaner, crisper break—often tunable down to 1.5 pounds—whereas the Stevens 334 uses a simpler, non-adjustable trigger group better suited for basic field use. The 7mm PRC cartridge holds a significant velocity and energy advantage over .308 Winchester beyond 400 yards, making the Trailblazer the definitively better choice for long-range hunting applications, though it comes with higher ammunition cost per round.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.60 pounds unloaded and measures 43.11 inches in overall length with the 22-inch barrel. That weight is distributed well, with the heavy sporter-profile barrel aiding in balance but not making it unwieldy for hiking; for comparison, the comparable Bergara B-14 Wilderness HMR in 7mm PRC typically weighs over 9.5 pounds when scoped. The length allows it to be carried comfortably in most standard rifle cases and used effectively from hunting blinds without being overly cumbersome.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for first-time firearm owners or anyone seeking a low-recoil, low-cost plinking rifle. The 7mm PRC cartridge generates substantial recoil, approximating 28 to 32 foot-pounds of energy at the shoulder, which can be punishing for inexperienced shooters. It's also not ideal for tight-quarters brush hunting where shots under 50 yards are typical, as the full-length stock and 22-inch barrel are less maneuverable than a compact carbine like a Stevens 334 in .243 Win with a 20-inch tube.
What's in the box?
Inside the box, you receive the barreled action seated in the stock, one detachable AICS-pattern magazine with a 2+1 capacity, the factory-installed one-piece 0 MOA Picatinny rail, and the necessary documentation. You will not find a thread protector, scope base mounting hardware, or a case—those are separate purchases. Ensure you have a set of properly sized Torx bits (likely T10 and T25) on hand for rail installation and trigger adjustment.
Is the Savage 110 Trailblazer worth it at $635.99?
At $635.99, the Savage 110 Trailblazer offers substantial value as an entry point into modern long-range hunting platforms, particularly given its feature set relative to cost. You're getting a Cerakote-finished action, a fluted and threaded barrel, and an adjustable stock—features that often don't appear together until the $900-$1,200 price point in competing brands. The primary compromise is the synthetic stock material, which lacks the rigidity of a premium chassis but provides the durability and weight savings demanded for serious field use.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 7.60 lbs unloaded — nearly 2 lbs lighter than comparable steel-chassis precision rifles.
- 22-inch 1:8 twist barrel is factory-threaded 5/8-24, saving $150+ in gunsmithing for suppressor or brake mounting.
- User-adjustable AccuTrigger can be safely tuned from a factory setting of ~2.5 lbs down to approximately 1.5 lbs.
- Overall length of 43.11 inches fits standard 44-inch rifle cases with room for a muzzle device.
Trade-offs
- Magazine capacity is limited to 2+1 rounds; extended AICS magazines are a separate $50+ purchase.
- The Flat Dark Gray synthetic stock, while durable, exhibits more flex in the forend under bipod load than a laminated wood or chassis stock.
- No thread protector is included, requiring an additional $15-$30 accessory purchase to protect the muzzle threads.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes, it ships with a Savage-branded AICS-pattern detachable box magazine. Aftermarket AICS short-action magazines from companies like Magpul or Accurate-Mag should function, but I recommend verifying feed lip geometry with your specific ammunition load before relying on them in the field.
- Does the threaded muzzle come with a thread protector?
- No, it does not. The 5/8-24 threaded muzzle is left exposed. You will need to purchase a thread protector separately if not mounting a muzzle device. I recommend a protector from companies like SilencerCo or Griffin Armament to prevent damage to the threads during transport.
- What scope ring height is needed for the factory rail?
- For most 44mm to 50mm objective lens scopes, you will need medium-height rings (approximately 0.87 inches from rail to ring bottom). The factory 0 MOA rail provides a low, consistent mounting surface, but leaves minimal clearance; high rings (1.10 inches or taller) are unnecessary unless using an oversized 56mm bell.
- How long does it take to adjust the AccuTrigger?
- With the proper tool, a complete adjustment—from factory setting to your preferred pull weight—takes about 5 minutes. You must remove the stock to access the adjustment screw on the trigger shoe. I do not recommend attempting this without the specific Savage AccuTrigger adjustment tool or a correctly sized 1/16-inch hex key.
