About this product
The Savage 110 Ridge Hunter .375 Ruger 18-inch Right Hand is a compact, heavy-barreled bolt-action rifle chambered for large game hunting in tight terrain. It combines Savage's proven AccuTrigger system with an adjustable synthetic stock and a 5+1 capacity magazine. This configuration prioritizes maneuverability without sacrificing the stopping power required for dangerous game at close ranges.
What is the Savage 110 Ridge Hunter used for?
This rifle is designed for hunters who need a compact, powerful firearm for thick brush or alpine environments where shots occur under 200 yards. The .375 Ruger cartridge delivers over 4,500 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, making it suitable for brown bear, moose, or African plains game. Its 39.11-inch overall length allows for quick handling in blinds or dense cover where longer barrels snag.
How does the Savage 110 Ridge Hunter compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic?
The Savage 110 outperforms the Stevens 334 in stopping power but sacrifices recoil management and ammunition cost. While the Stevens 334 (/products/stevens-334-308win-20-3rd-black/) fires .308 Win at approximately 2,600 ft-lbs energy, the .375 Ruger generates nearly double that force—making it better for large, dangerous game. However, the Stevens 334 costs $200 less and recoils 40% less, making it superior for extended range sessions or budget-conscious hunters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 8.30 lbs (3.76 kg) with an overall length of 39.11 inches and an 18-inch heavy-contour barrel. The adjustable length of pull spans 13.5 to 14.5 inches, accommodating most adult shooters. Barrel twist rate is 1:12, optimized for heavy .375-caliber projectiles from 270 to 300 grains.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for recoil-sensitive shooters or those hunting small game. The .375 Ruger generates over 30 ft-lbs of recoil energy—significantly more than a .308 Winchester’s 18 ft-lbs. It’s also poorly suited for long-range precision shooting; the cartridge drops 18 inches at 300 yards with a 200-yard zero. For varmints or target shooting, consider a Stevens 334 in .243 Win (/products/stevens-334-243win-20-3rd-black/).
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 5-round detachable box magazine, a factory-installed AccuTrigger set to 3.5 lbs pull weight, and a 3-position safety. No optics, sling, or cleaning kit are included. The manual covers Savage’s 1-year limited warranty and basic zeroing procedures.
Is the Savage 110 Ridge Hunter worth it at $802.99?
At $802.99, this rifle offers fair value for hunters needing a compact, powerful platform for dangerous game. Compared to custom-built .375 Ruger rifles costing $2,000+, it delivers 80% of the performance at 40% of the price. However, budget $400+ for a quality scope and mount, and expect to pay $4 per round for ammunition—making total setup cost around $1,200.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket stocks?
- Yes, it uses Savage 110 short-action inlet patterns. Common aftermarket options from Boyd's or Bell and Carlson require minor fitting. The action screw spacing is 4.40 inches center-to-center.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, any 40-inch hard or soft case will accommodate it. The 39.11-inch length leaves 0.89 inches clearance. Plano All-Weather cases work well for field transport.
- How long does shipping take?
- FFL transfers typically process in 3-5 business days after payment clearance. Ground shipping adds 2-7 days depending on your location relative to our Nevada warehouse.
- Can I return it if it doesn't cycle properly?
- Returns require inspection by our certified armorer within 30 days. If a manufacturing defect is found, we cover shipping both ways. Cosmetic issues or user-induced damage void returns.
- Does this work with a suppressor?
- Yes, but the 18-inch barrel and .375 Ruger caliber require a large-bore suppressor rated for magnum pressures. Silencer Central's Banish 30 or Dead Air's Sandman S handle it safely. Thread pitch is 5/8-24.
