About this product
The Savage 110 Pro Pursuit in .30-06 Springfield with a 20-inch threaded carbon-fiber barrel is a high-precision, lightweight hunting rifle built for suppressed and braked use in demanding field conditions. It combines a stainless-steel action, a Proof Research barrel, and a fully adjustable Grayboe stock for a purpose-driven, rugged package. This configuration prioritizes maneuverability in dense cover and sub-MOA accuracy with supersonic ammunition, balancing modern materials against proven cartridge performance.
What is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit 30-06 used for?
This rifle is engineered for dynamic, long-range hunting of large North American game in challenging terrain, such as pursuing elk in the Rockies or moose in Canadian bush. The 20-inch Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel, with its 5/8x24 threaded muzzle, is purpose-built for pairing with a suppressor to reduce noise signature and recoil or for mounting a muzzle brake to enhance shot-to-shot recovery time—critical when a follow-up shot on a wounded animal is necessary. Its 7.40 lb weight and adjustable Grayboe Phoenix 2 stock allow for rapid acquisition and steady holds from awkward shooting positions like kneeling or using a bipod against a tree.
How does the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit compare to the Stevens 334 in .308 Win?
The Savage 110 Pro Pursuit is a superior platform for shooters prioritizing ultralight weight, suppressor compatibility, and chassis-like adjustability, while the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win is a better choice for pure budget-minded reliability. The 110 Pro Pursuit's Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel saves over 1.5 lbs versus the conventional steel barrel on the Stevens, and its adjustable comb and length-of-pull provide a custom fit that the fixed, injection-molded stock of the 334 cannot match. However, the Stevens platform offers exceptional value for a basic, no-frills deer rifle; you are paying nearly three times the price with the 110 Pro Pursuit for advanced materials and precision features.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 7.40 lbs (120 ounces) unscoped, with an overall length of 40.75 inches from the threaded muzzle to the buttpad. The 20-inch Proof Research barrel has a 1:10 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing long, heavy .30-06 projectiles up to 220 grains. The Grayboe Phoenix 2 stock adjusts for length of pull over a 1.25-inch range and the comb height adjusts .75 inch, allowing a wide range of shooters to achieve proper eye alignment with optics. This precise adjustability allows you to dial in the rifle to your specific mount, something monolithic stocks on models like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win lack entirely.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for the first-time shooter, the budget-conscious plinker, or anyone seeking a traditional walnut-stocked heirloom firearm. At $2,136.99, it represents a significant investment in specialized hunting technology that is overkill for occasional target shooting. The adjustable comb and AccuTrigger require a basic understanding of rifle ergonomics and trigger mechanics to tune properly. Furthermore, hunters who exclusively use iron sights or who prefer the classic aesthetics of a blued steel and walnut setup will find its tactical-inspired OD Green Cerakote and camo synthetic stock visually jarring.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with the factory-installed OmniPort muzzle brake, a hard-sided polymer case with foam insert, one Savage 4-round detachable box magazine (3+1 capacity), a set of Allen wrenches for stock and trigger adjustment, and the owner's manual with warranty information. Note: unlike some European firearms, a thread protector for the 5/8x24 muzzle is not included—you must purchase one separately if you intend to shoot without a brake or suppressor mounted. Assembly from the box requires no tools beyond the provided wrenches and takes approximately 90 seconds to attach a scope base to the pre-drilled and tapped receiver.
Is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit worth it at $2,136.99?
Yes, but only if your use case directly demands its specific blend of lightweight barrel technology, suppressor-ready threading, and precision stock adjustability for hunting in arduous conditions. You are paying a premium for the Proof Research carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel, which provides rigidity and heat dissipation similar to a steel barrel while shaving critical pounds. For a hunter covering miles of steep country while packing a suppressor, this weight savings and the rifle's overall balance justify the cost. If your hunting involves sitting in a stationary blind over a food plot with a standard .30-06, a more conventional rifle at half the price will serve you just as effectively.

Pros & cons
What works
- Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel cuts weight to 7.40 lbs—nearly 2 lbs lighter than a comparable 20" steel barrel.
- Fully adjustable Grayboe stock: Comb height adjusts .75", length of pull adjusts over 1.25" for perfect optic alignment.
- 5/8x24 threaded muzzle is suppressor-ready and comes with an effective OmniPort brake installed.
Trade-offs
- No thread protector included—a $15-40 aftermarket part is required for bare-muzzle use.
- The 3+1 magazine capacity is limiting for some target shooting disciplines compared to AICS-pattern 5- or 10-round mags.
- The OD Green Cerakote on the action shows handling wear and brass scratches more readily than a matte black or nitride finish.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the 5/8x24 muzzle compatible with .30 cal suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 thread pitch is the standard for .30 caliber rifles and is directly compatible with the vast majority of .30 cal rifle suppressors from brands like SiCo, Dead Air, and SureFire. Ensure your chosen suppressor is rated for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge, which operates at up to 60,000 PSI. Direct-thread mounts are simplest, but you can also use a muzzle brake or flash hider as a host device if your suppressor utilizes a quick-detach (QD) system.
- Does it fit in a standard 42-inch rifle case?
- Yes, with room to spare. At 40.75 inches overall length, this rifle will fit comfortably in any standard 42-inch or longer hard or soft rifle case. For airline travel with a hard case, I recommend a 44- or 46-inch case, like those from Pelican, to provide ample padding around the threaded muzzle and adjustable comb. This allows space for your optic, magazine, and a small cleaning kit without compressing the foam directly against the rifle's finish.
- How long does it take to adjust the AccuTrigger?
- A full safety-off adjustment of the AccuTrigger's pull weight takes about 2 minutes with the provided 1/16-inch Allen wrench. You turn a small screw located within the trigger blade; clockwise increases pull weight, counterclockwise decreases it. The factory setting is typically around 2.5 to 3.5 lbs. I advise stopping adjustment when you first feel spring tension bind—going beyond this point can create an unsafe, unreliable trigger. Always function-test the rifle with dummy rounds after any adjustment.
- Can I return it if I don't like the Grayboe stock?
- Ironclad Armory's standard policy allows returns of new, unfired firearms within 14 days of delivery, subject to a 15% restocking fee and the original shipping costs. Once the rifle has been fired or the serialized action has been removed from the factory stock, it is considered used and is not eligible for return. If the ergonomics are a concern, I strongly recommend handling a rifle with a Grayboe Phoenix 2 stock at a local dealer before purchasing, as stock feel is highly subjective.
