About this product
What is the Savage 110 Apex Storm XP? It’s a factory-equipped hunting rifle in 7mm-08 Remington with a mounted Vortex scope, built for mid-range accuracy and all-weather reliability straight out of the box. The 20-inch sporter-profile barrel and synthetic stock prioritize handling over bench-rest precision, while the included Vortex Crossfire II optic means you're zero-ready in under an hour. At 7.67 pounds unloaded, it's a practical choice for hunters who need immediate deployment without gunsmithing delays.
What is the Savage 110 Apex Storm XP used for?
This rifle is designed for deer and medium-game hunting at ranges up to 300 yards. The 7mm-08 cartridge delivers flat trajectory and manageable recoil, making it ideal for whitetail in wooded terrain or mule deer in open country. The synthetic stock shrugs off moisture, and the 40.25-inch overall length balances well in blinds or while stalking.
How does the Savage 110 Apex Storm XP compare to the Stevens 334?
The Savage outperforms the Stevens 334 in trigger adjustability and included optics. While both rifles share a 20-inch barrel and synthetic stock, the Savage’s AccuTrigger offers a customizable 2.5- to 6-pound pull weight, versus the Stevens’ fixed 3- to 4-pound trigger. The Savage package also includes a Vortex scope valued at $200, whereas the Stevens ships irons-only—a significant upgrade for hunters needing immediate field readiness.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.67 pounds and measures 40.25 inches long with a 20-inch barrel. The stock’s length of pull adjusts from 12.75 to 13.75 inches via included spacers, accommodating most adult shooters. The Vortex Crossfire II scope adds roughly 14 ounces, bringing the total hunting-ready weight to just over 8 pounds.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn’t for precision shooters needing sub-MOA groups or hunters pursuing elk or bear at extended ranges. The sporter contour barrel heats quickly—expect group dispersion after 10 rounds in under 90 seconds. For larger game or long-range competition, consider a heavier-barreled model like the more on Savage 110 Precision.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle with mounted Vortex 3-9×40 scope, one 4-round detachable magazine, and Allen keys for stock adjustment. The scope is factory bore-sighted, but plan 20-30 minutes for final zeroing. Unlike some packages, it includes no sling or cleaning kit—budget an extra $50 for those essentials.
Is the Savage 110 Apex Storm XP worth it at $750.99?
Yes, if you need a turnkey hunting rifle with a reputable optic. The Vortex scope alone retails for $200, making the rifle effectively $550—comparable to the the Stevens 334 but with superior trigger tuning and weather resistance. For hunters avoiding aftermarket purchases, this package eliminates $300-400 in additional costs.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 7mm-08 ammunition?
- Yes, it cycles all SAAMI-spec 7mm-08 Remington ammo from Federal, Hornady, and Remington. The 1:9.5-inch twist rate stabilizes bullets from 120 to 160 grains. Avoid steel-case or reloads exceeding 60,000 PSI to prevent accelerated barrel wear.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, any 42-inch hard or soft case will accommodate the 40.25-inch length. I recommend Plano All-Weather or Pelican 1750 for airline travel. The scoped rifle requires at least 9 inches of interior height for safe transport.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days via FedEx Ground. Delivery typically adds 5-7 days continental US. FFL paperwork verification may add 24 hours—have your dealer’s license ready at checkout.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms sales are final once transferred through an FFL. Ironclad allows returns only for mechanical defects within 30 days. Confirm stock fit using the adjustable LOP range (12.75" to 13.75") before purchasing.
- Does this work with a suppressor?
- Yes, the 20-inch barrel has ½x28 threads under the cap. It pairs well with lightweight suppressors like the SilencerCo Omega 300. Thread engagement is 0.40 inches—use Vibra-Tite instead of Loctite to avoid galling the stainless steel.
- Is the scope warranty transferable?
- Vortex’s VIP warranty is lifetime and unconditional, covering the Crossfire II even for second owners. No paperwork required—contact Vortex directly for repairs. This applies to all optics purchased after 2002.
