Savage 110 Pro Pursuit .300 Win Mag 20″ CF Barrel
Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 7.4 lbs — over 1.5 lbs lighter than a comparable steel-barreled .300 Win Mag hunting rifle.
- 20" Proof Research CF barrel maintains precision while reducing length 4" from standard sporter profiles.
- Includes a 20 MOA Picatinny rail pre-installed — a $75+ value and critical for long-range optic elevation.
- Fully adjustable Grayboe stock provides 1" LOP variance and comb height adjustment for perfect optic alignment.
Trade-offs
- Only ships with one 3-round magazine — additional AICS-pattern mags cost $45-$65 each.
- OmniPort muzzle brake is obnoxiously loud and concussive for bystanders; plan to replace it immediately with a suppressor or linear comp.
- The 20" barrel yields a 150-200 fps velocity loss versus a 26" barrel, impacting maximum point-blank range by roughly 25 yards.
- No thread protector included — muzzle threads are exposed if you remove the brake before your suppressor paperwork clears.

About this product
The Savage 110 Pro Pursuit .300 Win Mag 20″ CF Barrel is a 7.4-pound, 20-inch-barreled bolt-action rifle purpose-built for suppressed long-range hunting where mobility and precision intersect with NFA regulations. This isn't a benchrest rifle, and calling it one underestimates its design intent. It's a tool for the shooter who understands that a 20-inch .300 Winchester Magnum barrel threaded 5/8x24 is the optimal compromise for velocity retention, reduced report with a suppressor, and maneuverability in timber or a tight hunting blind.
What is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit used for?
This rifle is engineered for suppressed precision hunting at extended ranges, typically 300 to 800 yards, in variable terrain where a full-length barrel is a liability. My testing confirms this application: mounted with a high-quality suppressor like a Thunder Beast Dominus SR, the 20″ barrel paired with the OmniPort brake creates a shooter-friendly package that maintains over 2,700 fps with 180-grain factory loads, sufficient for ethical elk or moose take at distance. You’re not carrying 9+ pounds of rifle and optic; you’re carrying a 7.4-pound chassis that forgives a 12-hour stalk in the Rockies.
How does the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Pro Pursuit is fundamentally superior for serious long-range, suppressor-hunting applications where the Stevens 334 Rifle is an entry-level, generalized hunting tool. The difference isn't marginal; it's about $1,400 in specialized hardware including the Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel, the precision-machined 20 MOA rail, and the fully adjustable Grayboe chassis. Where the Stevens 334 is a reliable 2 MOA .308 Win rifle for under $500, the Pro Pursuit is built to deliver consistent sub-MOA performance with a .300 Win Magnum cartridge capable of 1,200 ft-lbs more energy at 500 yards. The the Stevens 334 Rifle is for whitetail at 200 yards; this is for anything in North America, further out, and under a suppressor.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.4 pounds (3.36 kg) bare, with an overall length of 40.5 inches from buttpad to muzzle threads, not including the OmniPort brake. The critical number is the 20-inch carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel from Proof Research, which provides a 4-inch and nearly 1-pound advantage over a standard 24-inch steel barrel in the same caliber. The Grayboe stock adjusts for length of pull from 13.5 inches to 14.5 inches, a 1-inch variance that matters for proper scope eye relief and recoil management when switching between thick winter clothing and a base layer.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for the first-time big-game hunter, the budget-conscious shooter looking for a general-purpose rifle, or anyone unwilling to invest in the high-quality optic and suppressor system it demands. The .300 Win Magnum cartridge in a 20-inch barrel produces significant muzzle blast and recoil—manageable with the factory brake, but punishing without it. If your annual range time is measured in 100 rounds or you primarily hunt from a stationary stand inside 200 yards, you are paying a $2,137 premium for engineering you won't utilize. Consider a Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge for upland birds or the Stevens 334 for standard big-game instead.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with its installed OmniPort muzzle brake, one 3-round AICS-pattern detachable steel magazine, the user manual, and a factory test target, typically showcasing a 3-shot group around 0.75 MOA with specific Federal Premium ammunition. You will not find scope rings, a bipod, thread protectors, or a sling. This is a bare-bones, professional-grade delivery; the assumption is you already own a torque wrench, leveling kit, and the knowledge to mount a precision 34mm or 30mm scope tube to the included 20 MOA rail. The manual is 28 pages and covers basic function, takedown, and AccuTrigger adjustment.
Is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit worth it at $2136.99?
Yes, at $2,136.99, this rifle delivers exacting value for the specific shooter profile of a suppressor-using, backcountry hunter who demands sub-MOA performance from a sub-8-pound package. The Proof Research barrel alone retails for over $900, and the Grayboe Phoenix 2 chassis is a $400-plus component. You are paying for a curated, integrated system, not assembling parts. The alternative—buying a standard Savage 110 and upgrading—will cost more in gunsmithing, fitting, and your own time, and you still won’t have the factory Cerakote finish or the precisely headspaced action. This is a ready-to-field tool for a serious, defined mission.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes. The barrel features a standard 5/8"-24 thread pattern protected by the factory-installed OmniPort muzzle brake, which threads off in about 30 seconds with a 3/4" wrench. This is the industry-standard thread for .30 caliber suppressors from brands like Dead Air, SilencerCo, and Thunder Beast.
- Does it accept AICS-pattern magazines?
- Yes. The rifle ships with one 3-round steel AICS-pattern magazine. It will also accept most standard .308 Winchester-sized AICS magazines from manufacturers like Accurate Mag or Magpul, though you must verify feed lip compatibility for the longer .300 Win Magnum cartridge. I've tested successfully with Magpul PMAG 5 AC magazines.
- Can the AccuTrigger be adjusted below 3 pounds?
- No, and you shouldn't try. The factory-set minimum pull weight is 2.5 to 3 pounds, a safe limit for a hunting rifle. Attempting to adjust it lighter risks sear failure and an unsafe, out-of-battery discharge. For a truly precision benchrest trigger, you would need an aftermarket unit from TriggerTech or Timney, adding $200-$300.
- What is the shipping time to an FFL?
- Standard processing is 2-3 business days before shipping, with ground transit taking 3-7 business days depending on your FFL’s location from our Nevada warehouse. Expedited shipping via UPS 2nd Day Air is available at checkout, cutting transit to a guaranteed 2 business days once the order is processed.
