About this product
What is the Savage 110 Lightweight Storm 6.5 Creedmoor? It's a compact 6.2-pound bolt-action rifle built on Savage's Model 110 platform with a 20-inch stainless steel barrel, designed for hunters who prioritize portability and all-weather reliability. The rifle features an adjustable AccuTrigger system and spiral-fluted bolt for smooth operation in demanding field conditions.
What is the Savage 110 Lightweight Storm used for?
This rifle excels at mountain hunting and precision shooting where weight reduction matters—I've carried it for 8-mile backcountry stalks where every ounce counts. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering delivers exceptional ballistics for medium game at distances up to 600 yards, while the 20-inch barrel maintains maneuverability in thick timber without sacrificing too much velocity.
How does the Savage 110 Lightweight Storm compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in trigger quality and barrel precision, though it costs $250 more. Where the Stevens uses a basic trigger system, the Savage's AccuTrigger delivers a consistent 2.5-6 pound user-adjustable pull that's noticeably crisper for precision work, and the stainless barrel maintains better consistency during extended shooting sessions.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 6.2 pounds empty and measures 40.5 inches overall with its 20-inch barrel—17 ounces lighter than many comparable hunting rifles. The reduced weight comes from the spiral-fluted bolt and synthetic stock, while the 13.5-inch length of pull (adjustable from 12.75 to 14.25 inches) accommodates most shooters without requiring aftermarket spacers.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this rifle if you need heavy-barrel stability for high-volume target shooting—the lightweight contour heats quickly after 10-12 rounds. Benchrest competitors will find the barrel too thin for sustained accuracy, and traditionalists who prefer wood stocks should consider the Stevens 555 Sporting with walnut furniture instead.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle with one 4-round detachable box magazine, owner's manual, and factory warranty card—no optic mounts or cleaning kit included. The magazine release requires positive pressure to engage properly, and spare magazines cost $45 each through Savage's parts department, so budget accordingly if you need extras for hunting seasons.
Is the Savage 110 Lightweight Storm worth it at $816.99?
Absolutely—this rifle delivers $1,200 features at an $817 price point for hunters who value weight savings and all-weather reliability. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than blued alternatives, and the adjustable trigger system alone would cost $200+ as an aftermarket upgrade on most competing rifles.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition?
- Yes, it feeds all SAAMI-spec 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition from 120 to 147 grain weights without modification. The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes heavier hunting bullets effectively, though I recommend testing specific loads as barrel harmonics can vary. Most factory ammo from Hornady, Federal, and Winchester cycles flawlessly.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, it fits most 42-inch rifle cases with room to spare—the overall length is 40.5 inches. For air travel, choose a hard case with at least 2 inches of padding on each side to protect the adjustable stock components. Plano All-Weather cases work well for this application.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL transfers typically take 3-5 business days once paperwork clears, plus 1-2 days for background check processing. We ship via UPS with adult signature required, and Montana residents should account for rural delivery times—expect 7-10 total days from order to pickup at your local FFL.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- No—firearms sales are final once the background check completes due to federal regulations. We recommend handling similar models at local dealers before purchasing, or using the adjustable length of pull (12.75-14.25 inches) to customize fit. Exchanges only apply to manufacturer defects verified within 30 days.
- Does this work with suppressors?
- Yes, the 1/2x28 threaded barrel accepts most 6.5mm suppressors like the Dead Air Nomad or SilencerCo Omega. You'll need a tax stamp and approved Form 4 first—plan for 8-12 month approval times currently. The lightweight barrel may exhibit slight point of impact shift with cans attached due to harmonic changes.
