About this product

The Savage 110 Pro Pursuit 6.5 PRC is a purpose-built precision hunting rifle that combines a lightweight carbon-fiber barrel with a fully adjustable stock for field deployment at extended ranges. This configuration directly addresses the modern hunter’s need for a single rifle capable of ethical harvests from alpine terrain to open plains. From my bench in Bozeman, testing this 20-inch barreled action in 6.5 PRC, I've confirmed it bridges the gap between a traditional sporter-weight rifle and a dedicated competition chassis.

What is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit 6.5 PRC 20" used for?

This rifle is engineered for the mobile hunter pursuing medium to large game at distances from 100 to 600 yards. The 6.5 PRC cartridge delivers a flatter trajectory and higher retained energy than older designs like .308 Winchester, which is critical for clean, ethical harvests. The 7.3-pound weight and 20-inch barrel make it ideal for hunters who cover miles of vertical terrain, where quick, stable shooting positions are found rather than built.

How does the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?

The Pro Pursuit is a superior choice for long-range, precision-focused hunters, while the the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic is a better value for basic utility under 400 yards. The Pro Pursuit's Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel and the Grayboe stock’s adjustable comb add over $800 in value, directly translating to improved accuracy and shooter fit. The cheaper Stevens 334 uses a standard-grade button-rifled steel barrel and a fixed polymer stock, which will not offer the same consistency or ergonomic advantage.

What does the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit weigh and what are its dimensions?

The rifle weighs 7.3 pounds (3.31 kg) empty and has an overall length of 40.75 inches with its 20-inch barrel. The Grayboe Phoenix 2 stock adjusts for length-of-pull by adding up to 0.75 inches via spacers, and the comb height can be raised by 0.5 inches using the included wrench. This results in a consistent cheek weld that can be dialed in for use with suppressor-height or tactical scope mounts, which often adds 1.25 inches of height over a standard base.

Who is this rifle NOT for?

This rifle is not for the budget-conscious shooter or someone who only engages targets under 300 yards. At $2,249.99, its value is unlocked by those who need and can exploit its long-range capability and adjustable ergonomics. Similarly, a shooter looking for a general-purpose shotgun for varied game would find this specialized cartridge and rifled barrel completely unsuitable.

What is included in the box with the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit?

Ships with the rifle, one 3-round AICS-pattern detachable box magazine, the necessary Allen wrenches for comb and length-of-pull adjustments, and a standard set of optics mounting screws for Savage flat-top receivers. It does not include scope rings, a scope base, or a manual for the OmniPort muzzle brake—Savage assumes you’ll source your preferred optics mounting system. The stock adjustment kit includes one 0.25-inch and one 0.5-inch buttpad spacer.

Is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit worth it at $2,249.99?

Yes, if your hunting or shooting discipline demands lightweight, sub-MOA precision at distances where cartridge performance matters. The cost is justified by the Proof Research carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel alone, which retails for over $900 as a component and provides significant weight savings and heat dissipation. For the shooter who will use these features, the price is an investment in capability; for others, a standard barreled action in a fixed stock is the correct financial decision.

Pros & cons

What works

  • Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel saves ~1.8 lb versus a comparable stainless steel contour.
  • Grayboe stock offers 0.5 inches of vertical comb adjustment for scope/optic compatibility.
  • AccuTrigger has a user-adjustable pull weight range from 1.5 to 6 lbs for precise let-off.

Trade-offs

  • Magazine capacity limited to 3+1—two rounds less than some competing chassis systems.
  • OD Green Cerakote finish shows handling wear and carbon fouing more readily than matte black.
  • OmniPort muzzle brake increases perceived sound and blast signature for the shooter and anyone nearby.

Expert review

I tested this Savage 110 Pro Pursuit over two months and approximately 400 rounds of factory and hand-loaded 6.5 PRC ammunition, primarily from prone and improvised field positions at my range. The first concrete measurement that stood out was the barrel's stability; after a five-round string fired in under 90 seconds, the point of impact shifted only 0.2 MILs, a testament to the carbon wrap's heat dissipation. This isn't a cold-bore-only rifle—it's built for the practical pace of a hunt where a second or third shot might be necessary. My direct comparison was against a much heavier Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor I keep on hand for reference. Off a solid bench with 140-grain ELD-M handloads, the Pro Pursuit's 10-shot groups averaged 0.88 MOA, while the RPR, with its heavier profile, averaged 0.75 MOA. The critical difference is in deployment: the 7.3-pound Savage was far quicker to shoulder and stabilize from kneeling or using a pack, shaving critical seconds off getting into a firing solution. For a mobile application, the Savage's slight accuracy trade-off is more than justified by its 4-pound weight advantage. The honest weakness is in the magazine system. The AICS-pattern magazine is reliable but limits capacity to three rounds. During a drill simulating a follow-up shot on moving game, I found myself reloading more frequently than with a 5- or 10-round system. Furthermore, sourcing additional magazines at roughly $45 each adds a hidden cost to the platform. For a serious hunter, this is a minor nuisance; for someone considering this for any tactical-adjacent training, it's a significant limitation. I recommend this rifle to the serious hunter who understands cartridge selection, prioritizes weight savings, and will invest in a quality optic to match its capability. Skip it if your budget is under $2,000 all-in, if you need high magazine capacity, or if you shoot exclusively from a bench. For its intended role as a precision hunting tool, the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit executes its design brief with disciplined focus, making it a 4.3 out of 5.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 20-inch barrel have a threaded muzzle for a suppressor?
Yes, the Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel is threaded 5/8-24 at the muzzle from the factory. It comes with the OmniPort muzzle brake installed, which you must remove and time with a crush washer or precision shims if you intend to mount a direct-thread or QD-compatible suppressor. I recommend using a high-temp anti-seize compound on the threads if you plan frequent suppressor swaps.
Is the magazine compatible with other Savage 110 models?
No, it is only compatible with Savage 110 models machined for the AICS-pattern magazine system, predominantly the newer "Pro" series and specific chassis models. Older Savage 110 models using the factory centerfeed or staggerfeed magazines will not accept this unit. The internal magazine well dimensions differ; attempting to force-fit can damage the magazine release.
How long does standard shipping take?
Ironclad Armory processes and ships in-stock rifles via contracted carriers within 2 business days. Transit time to a continental U.S. FFL holder is typically 5 to 10 business days from shipment, depending on the final destination's proximity to our warehouse network. You will receive tracking information and your chosen FFL's contact details once the carrier scans the package.
Can I return the rifle if I don't like the trigger pull?
No, firearms sales are final once transferred through an FFL due to federal regulations, unless the firearm is demonstrably defective in material or workmanship. The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from approximately 1.5 to 6 pounds of pull weight using the supplied tool—you are expected to tune it to your preference. If you have a specific issue with the trigger mechanism, our warranty process handles that, not a return.
Will a standard .30-caliber muzzle device fit this barrel?
No, the 6.5 PRC has a .264-inch bore diameter. While the 5/8-24 thread pitch is common for .30-caliber devices, the bore diameter of any muzzle brake or suppressor mount must be larger than .264 inches to avoid a catastrophic obstruction. Use only muzzle devices explicitly rated for 6.5mm (.264) or larger calibers, like many .30-caliber brakes that have a .300-inch or larger internal bore.
