Savage 110 Pro Pursuit 7mm PRC 20″ Bolt-Action Rifle
About this product
What is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit 7mm PRC 20″ Bolt-Action Rifle? It's a purpose-built precision hunting rifle engineered for the intersection of portability and long-range terminal ballistics. Chambered in the modern 7mm PRC cartridge and featuring a 20-inch Proof Research carbon fiber barrel, this rifle delivers consistent sub-MOA accuracy while maintaining a field-weight package under 7.5 pounds. The Grayboe Phoenix 2 stock provides the ergonomic adjustments serious hunters need for stable shooting positions from ridge to canyon.
What is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit used for?
This rifle is designed for backcountry hunters who demand precision at extended ranges where every ounce matters. The 7mm PRC chambering generates 3,000 fps muzzle velocity with 175-grain projectiles, maintaining lethal energy beyond 500 yards while the 7.4-pound weight allows for practical mountain carry. I've seen this configuration deliver consistent 0.75 MOA groups with factory ammo, making it viable for ethical elk or mule deer harvests across Western terrain.
How does the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit compare to the Stevens 334?
The Pro Pursuit outperforms the Stevens 334 in precision and adjustment capabilities but costs approximately $1,000 more. Where the Stevens delivers 1.5-2 MOA accuracy as a basic hunting rifle, the Savage's Proof Research barrel and AccuTrigger system consistently achieve sub-MOA groups with proper ammunition selection. The Grayboe stock's comb height and length of pull adjustments provide superior fit compared to the Stevens' fixed synthetic stock, though both share the same 20-inch barrel length.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.4 pounds with empty magazine and measures 40.5 inches in overall length with the 20-inch barrel. The 13.5-inch length of pull adjusts through 0.75 inches of travel while comb height offers 0.5 inches of vertical adjustment. At 6.8 pounds without optics, this configuration balances well for off-hand shooting while remaining manageable for extended backpack carries in steep country.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for budget-conscious hunters or those needing rapid follow-up shots. At $2,136.99, it represents a significant investment over entry-level options like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win, and the bolt-action design limits fire rate compared to semi-automatic platforms. The 7mm PRC's substantial recoil also makes it unsuitable for new shooters or those sensitive to muzzle blast, even with the included OmniPort brake.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one AICS-pattern 3-round magazine, owner's manual, and the factory-installed OmniPort muzzle brake. Unlike some competitors, Savage includes the thread protector separately packaged, requiring installation if you remove the brake for suppressor use. The 5/8×24 thread pattern accommodates most modern muzzle devices, though you'll need to purchase scope mounts and optics separately to complete the system.
Is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit worth it at $2,136.99?
Yes, for hunters needing precision at distance without excessive weight penalty. The Proof Research barrel alone retails for $800+ as an aftermarket component, making the complete package competitive with custom builds costing $3,000+. The 7mm PRC's ballistics outperform .308 Winchester by approximately 400 fps with similar bullet weights, providing legitimate 600-yard capability for experienced marksmen. For the price, you're getting a turnkey system that would cost significantly more to assemble from components.

- 7.4-pound total weight balances well for off-hand shooting and mountain carrying
Trade-offs
- OmniPort brake increases perceived noise by approximately 8 decibels versus bare muzzle
- AICS magazine costs $45 for replacements versus $25 for traditional Savage magazines
- 20-inch barrel sacrifices 75 fps velocity compared to 24-inch 7mm PRC configurations

Frequently asked questions
- Does the muzzle brake accept suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accommodates most .30 caliber suppressors when you remove the factory OmniPort brake. I recommend using Rocksett thread locker and a 25 ft-lb torque specification for secure suppressor mounting that maintains zero. Popular options include SilencerCo Omega 300 and Dead Air Nomad suppressors rated for 7mm PRC pressures.
- What scope mounts fit the receiver?
- The receiver uses standard Savage 110 long action scope mounting holes with #8-40 thread pattern spaced 6.5 inches apart. Warne Mountain Tech rings provide a solid mounting solution at 1.1-inch height for most hunting scopes, while EGW makes a Picatinny rail option for those preferring a modular system. I've found 20-25 inch-pounds of torque prevents scope shift during recoil.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments typically process within 2 business days and transit via FedEx Ground requires 3-5 additional days to Montana addresses. All firearms ship signature-required to your selected FFL holder, who must complete the 4473 background check before release. We recommend contacting your FFL in advance to confirm they accept shipments from online retailers.
- Can I return it if the accuracy is poor?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for manufacturing defects verified by our armorers, but not for subjective accuracy issues. Savage's accuracy guarantee requires testing with premium factory ammunition under controlled conditions - we typically see 0.75-1.25 MOA with Hornady Precision Hunter 175gr ELD-X loads. If groups exceed 1.5 MOA with quality ammo, contact Savage directly for warranty evaluation.
