Savage 110 Hunter .300 Win Mag 24″ Bolt Action
Pros & cons
What works
- AccuTrigger adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds - 40% lighter pull than most factory triggers
- AccuStock aluminum bedding block increases rigidity by approximately 30% over traditional stocks
- 7.55 lb weight balances well for offhand shooting despite long 24-inch barrel
- 3+1 detachable magazine capacity meets most hunting regulations without modification
Trade-offs
- .300 Win Mag recoil exceeds 30 ft-lbs - requires proper technique or aftermarket brake
- 45.25-inch overall length awkward in dense brush or vehicle transport
- Matte blue finish shows handling marks faster than Cerakote or nitride treatments
- No iron sights included - adds $150-300 for quality aperture sight system

About this product
What is the Savage 110 Hunter .300 Win Mag 24″ Bolt Action? It's a precision-hunting rifle built on Savage's full-length 110 action, engineered to deliver consistent long-range accuracy through the combination of the AccuStock chassis and user-adjustable AccuFit system. Chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, this rifle features a 24-inch carbon steel barrel with a 1:10 twist rate optimized for heavy, high-BC bullets. The platform is designed for hunters and shooters who need to make ethical shots at extended distances while having complete control over their stock fit.
What is the Savage 110 Hunter .300 Win Mag used for?
This rifle is purpose-built for hunting large North American game at distances where standard cartridges fall short. The .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge generates approximately 3,520 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, making it suitable for elk, moose, and bear beyond 400 yards. Its 24-inch barrel and 1:10 twist rate stabilize heavy bullets that maintain velocity and energy downrange, while the AccuStock system provides the bedding stability needed for consistent sub-MOA accuracy even after rough field use.
How does the Savage 110 Hunter compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 Hunter significantly outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in both effective range and terminal energy. Where the .308 Winchester delivers about 2,650 ft-lbs at the muzzle, the .300 Win Mag generates over 850 more foot-pounds, providing cleaner kills on larger game at extended ranges. The Savage's AccuStock system also offers superior bedding stability compared to the Stevens' traditional stock-to-action fit, translating to better consistency shot-to-shot when you're pushing the limits of your own marksmanship.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.55 pounds and measures 45.25 inches in overall length. The 24-inch barrel accounts for nearly half that length, providing the necessary sight radius and velocity potential for the .300 Win Mag cartridge. At approximately 3.2 pounds heavier than the Stevens 555 Sporting Compact shotgun, this rifle demands more deliberate carrying but delivers substantially more stability when you're aiming at a target 300 yards away.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for new shooters or those sensitive to recoil. The .300 Winchester Magnum generates significant recoil energy—approximately 30 foot-pounds in this configuration—which can be punishing for inexperienced shooters. It's also not ideal for tight-quarters hunting where maneuverability is paramount; the 45.25-inch overall length makes it cumbersome in dense brush compared to shorter-barreled options like the 20-inch Stevens 334 models.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with the Savage 110 Hunter, one 3-round detachable box magazine, and the AccuFit comb and length-of-pull adjustment kit. The magazine provides a 3+1 capacity (three in the magazine, one in the chamber), and the adjustment kit includes multiple comb risers and buttpad spacers to customize the stock dimensions. Unlike some competitors, Savage includes all necessary tools for these adjustments in the box, saving you approximately $25-40 in aftermarket purchases.
Is the Savage 110 Hunter worth it at $775.99?
At $775.99, the Savage 110 Hunter delivers exceptional value for serious hunters needing long-range capability. The combination of the AccuTrigger (user-adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds), AccuStock bedding system, and AccuFit adjustments would cost over $300 to add to a base rifle. Compared to custom-built alternatives starting at $1,500+, this factory offering provides 85-90% of the performance for half the price, making it one of the most cost-effective precision hunting platforms available.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard scope mounts?
- Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped with standard Savage 110 spacing. It accepts #8-40 scope base screws and works with any Weaver or Picatinny rail system designed for the Savage 110 long action pattern. I recommend using a torque wrench set to 15-18 inch-pounds for proper mounting.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The 45.25-inch overall length requires a 48-inch or longer hard case for safe transport. Most standard 42-inch cases won't accommodate this rifle without forcing the lid closed. Pelican 1750 cases provide adequate clearance with foam padding.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearm shipments typically process within 3-5 business days before shipping via FedEx or UPS 2-day service to your chosen FFL. The total timeline from order to FDL receipt averages 7-10 business days depending on your FFL's processing speed.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms can only be returned if unfired and in original packaging, subject to a 15% restocking fee. The AccuFit system makes stock fitting highly adjustable, but if the rifle fundamentally doesn't work for you, returns must be initiated within 30 days of purchase.
- Does this work with a suppressor?
- The 24-inch barrel can be threaded for a suppressor, but this requires gunsmith work and possibly an extended thread protector. The .300 Win Mag generates significant backpressure, so I recommend Surefire or SilencerCo models rated for magnum cartridges.
