About this product
What is the Savage 110 Magpul Scout Left Hand 400 Legend? It's a purpose-built left-handed bolt-action rifle designed to excel in dense timber and as a suppressor host, leveraging the 400 Legend cartridge's straight-wall design for hunting in restricted states. This configuration combines the proven Savage 110 action with Magpul's Hunter stock system and a compact 16.5-inch threaded barrel, creating what amounts to a modern scout rifle platform optimized for the Midwest and Northeast whitetail hunter who needs to comply with straight-wall cartridge regulations. The left-hand operation is a genuine factory offering, not an aftermarket conversion, which matters for safety and ejection pattern consistency.
What is the Savage 110 Magpul Scout 400 Legend used for?
This rifle is primarily used for whitetail hunting in states with straight-wall cartridge restrictions and for suppressed shooting at moderate ranges. Its 16.5-inch barrel makes it highly maneuverable in a blind or thick brush, while the 5/8×24 threading is the standard for .30 caliber cans, making it an ideal host for a suppressor like a SilencerCo Omega 36M. The forward-mounted 'scout rail' gives you flexible optic placement for fast acquisition at the 150-yard-and-under distances where the 400 Legend cartridge is most effective, essentially serving as a dedicated tool for regulated-zone hunters who refuse to compromise on ergonomics or modularity.
How does the Savage 110 Magpul Scout compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 Scout is a more specialized and modular platform than the standard Stevens 334, justifying its higher price point with features critical for the hunter who needs a rifle to fit a specific regulatory and environmental niche. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is a capable, no-frills baseline rifle, the Savage 110 Scout offers a left-hand action, a fully adjustable Magpul Hunter stock with an aluminum bedding block, a forward-mounted optics rail, and a suppressor-ready barrel—details the 334 lacks. For the hunter specifically requiring a straight-wall cartridge in a left-handed configuration, the Savage is the only logical choice; for a right-handed shooter on a budget in a rifle-legal area, the Stevens 334 in .308 is the better value.
What does the Savage 110 Magpul Scout weigh and what are its dimensions?
Unloaded and without optics, this rifle weighs 7.8 pounds and measures 37.5 inches in overall length. The weight is balanced slightly forward of the action due to the 16.5-inch heavy-contour barrel, which aids in steady offhand shooting, but the length of pull on the Magpul stock is adjustable from 12.5 to 14.5 inches to fit most shooters. For comparison, a traditional wood-stocked rifle in the same caliber would typically weigh over 8.5 pounds and be several inches longer, making this Scout configuration notably handier for climbing into a tree stand or navigating thick cover where every ounce and inch matters.
Who is this Savage 110 Magpul Scout NOT for?
This rifle is not for long-range precision shooters, right-handed shooters who have no need for a left-hand action, or hunters in states with no cartridge restrictions. The 400 Legend cartridge, while effective, is ballistically limited compared to .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor; pushing past 200 yards requires significant drop compensation and wind holds that other cartridges handle more easily. The left-hand configuration adds a premium cost, so a right-handed shooter looking for a versatile, general-purpose bolt action would be better served by a standard right-hand model or our Stevens 334 family of rifles. This is a specialist's tool, not a generalist's.
What's in the box with the Savage 110 Magpul Scout?
You receive the barreled action seated in the Magpul Hunter stock, one 10-round AICS-pattern metal magazine, a thread protector, the factory-installed muzzle brake, and a basic set of Savage owner's manuals and warranty paperwork. Ironclad Armory ships all firearms in a discrete, non-branded hard case with internal padding. Notably, the rifle does NOT include optics, rings, a sling, or a suppressor—those are essential separate purchases that can add several hundred dollars to the total system cost. The manual details the AccuTrigger adjustment procedure, but you'll need a 3/32-inch hex key to perform it.
Is the Savage 110 Magpul Scout worth it at $954.99?
At $954.99, it's a justified investment for the specific left-handed hunter needing a compliant, suppressor-ready, and highly modular straight-wall rifle that doesn't exist elsewhere in the production market. You're paying for the factory-left-hand action, the premium Magpul stock with its aluminum bedding block, and the forward optic rail system—features that would cost over $500 to add to a base rifle after purchase. If your hunting scenario is 'Midwest whitetail, left-handed shooter, wants to use a suppressor,' this rifle solves that exact problem with no aftermarket gunsmithing required, making the price a direct reflection of its specialized utility and saved labor.

Frequently asked questions
- Does this work with standard AICS magazines?
- Yes, it uses standard short-action AICS-pattern magazines. The included 10-round metal magazine is from Magpul, but any .308 Winchester-length AICS magazine will function, though capacity for .400 Legend is limited to 10 rounds due to cartridge dimensions. We recommend sticking with Magpul or Accurate-Mag branded magazines for reliable feeding.
- Is the barrel thread 5/8×24 compatible with .30 caliber suppressors?
- Absolutely. The 5/8×24 threading is the industry standard for .30 caliber muzzle devices and suppressors. Most suppressor manufacturers, including Dead Air, SilencerCo, and Rugged, offer direct-thread or muzzle brake attachments in this thread pitch. Always confirm your suppressor's bore is rated for .40+ caliber to safely handle the .400 Legend's .408-inch bullet diameter.
- Can I mount a traditional scope on the forward rail?
- You can, but it's not ideal for high-magnification optics. The forward 'scout' rail is intended for low-power, long-eye-relief optics or red dots. For a conventional scope, you will need to purchase and install a Picatinny rail section that mounts directly to the receiver's top, which Savage sells separately as part number 19176 for about $35. This gives you standard ring spacing.
- What is the trigger pull weight range?
- The Savage AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from approximately 1.5 pounds to 4 pounds. The factory setting is typically around 2.5 to 3 pounds. Adjustment requires a 3/32-inch hex key and turning a screw located inside the trigger shoe; the manual details the procedure, which takes about 5 minutes. This system is safer than many aftermarket triggers as it maintains a blade safety within the trigger itself.
