Savage 110 Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor Rifle, Gray Synthetic
About this product
The Savage 110 Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor is a bolt-action hunting rifle that combines Savage's AccuFit adjustable stock system with their proprietary AccuTrigger and AccuStock bedding rail to deliver a precision platform ready for optics mounting out of the box. This rifle is built on a carbon steel receiver and features a button-rifled barrel optimized for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge's ballistics. At 7.55 pounds with a 22-inch barrel, it strikes a balance between field-portable weight and stable shooting characteristics.
What is the Savage 110 Hunter used for?
This rifle is engineered for medium to long-range hunting applications where shot placement matters more than rapid fire. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge provides flatter trajectories than .308 Winchester at distances beyond 400 yards, making it ideal for deer, antelope, and similar-sized game. I've seen consistent sub-MOA groups with factory 140-grain ammunition, which translates to ethical shot placement at hunting distances.
How does the Savage 110 Hunter compare to the Stevens 334?
The Savage 110 Hunter outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in terms of adjustable ergonomics and trigger refinement. While both rifles share Savage's corporate DNA, the 110's AccuTrigger is user-adjustable down to 2.5 pounds versus the 334's fixed 3-4 pound pull weight. The AccuFit system allows for 1.5 inches of length-of-pull adjustment and 0.75 inches of comb height travel, something the 334's fixed stock cannot match for custom fit.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.55 pounds unloaded and measures 42.5 inches in overall length with its 22-inch barrel. The synthetic stock has a 13.5-inch length of pull at its shortest setting and the barrel features a 1:8 twist rate that stabilizes bullets from 120 to 147 grains effectively. This configuration keeps the rifle manageable for extended carries while maintaining enough mass to dampen recoil from the 6.5 Creedmoor's moderate discharge.
Who is this NOT for?
This isn't the right choice for tactical competitors needing rapid follow-up shots or NFA-regulated configurations. The 110 Hunter lacks the reinforced chassis and threaded barrel found on purpose-built tactical rifles like the Savage 110 Tactical, making suppressor or SBR conversions a gunsmithing project. The gray synthetic stock also lacks the texture needed for secure handling in wet conditions without additional grip tape or stippling.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with a 4-round detachable box magazine and basic owner's manual covering the AccuFit adjustment system. The receiver comes pre-drilled with #8-40 scope mount holes spaced 6.5 inches apart on center, ready for most popular bases. Notably absent are any rail sections or rings, so budget another $50-150 for mounting hardware depending on your optic choice.
Is the Savage 110 Hunter worth it at $676.99?
At this price point, the 110 Hunter delivers exceptional value for hunters who understand the importance of proper fit and trigger control. The adjustable features alone would cost $200-300 to add to a base model rifle, making this essentially a custom-fit platform at production rifle pricing. When you consider that a comparable Tikka T3x Hunter starts at $899 without adjustable comb or length-of-pull, the Savage represents significant savings for equivalent accuracy potential.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
- No, the barrel comes with a standard crowned muzzle measuring 0.620 inches in diameter without threading. Adding suppressor-ready threading requires a gunsmith to cut and thread the barrel, adding approximately $150-250 to your total cost plus the NFA tax stamp wait time.
- Does it come with scope mounts?
- The receiver is drilled and tapped for #8-40 scope bases but no mounting hardware is included. You'll need to purchase separate bases from manufacturers like EGW, Weaver, or Talley that are specifically patterned for the Savage 110 short action receiver spacing of 6.5 inches between mounting holes.
- What is the magazine capacity?
- The included detachable box magazine holds 4 rounds of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition. Savage offers extended 10-round magazines for approximately $45 each, but these protrude significantly below the stock and may not be ideal for hunting applications where low profile matters.
- Can the stock be adjusted for left-handed shooters?
- The AccuFit system provides comb height and length-of-pull adjustments that work for both right and left-handed shooters, but the bolt handle and ejection port remain configured for right-handed operation. Savage does produce left-handed 110 models, but they carry different model numbers and availability.
