Savage 110 Timberline LH 6.5 Creedmoor 22in Fluted
Pros & cons
What works
- Left-hand configuration eliminates right-hand bolt manipulation — critical for fast follow-ups from prone.
- AccuStock internal chassis provides 95% of the rigidity of a full chassis at half the weight and cost.
- Adjustable length of pull from 12.5" to 13.5" and comb height accommodates 95th percentile male to 5th percentile female shooters.
- OD Green Cerakote on barrel and receiver provides 500+ hour salt spray corrosion resistance.
Trade-offs
- The factory polymer magazine has sharp edges and requires filing for smooth insertion — a $45 MDT metal mag fixes this.
- Omni-port muzzle brake is effective but loud; directs significant concussive blast to the sides, annoying at public ranges.
- Bolt lift is 75 degrees, not the 60 degrees found on a Tikka or custom action, slowing cycling slightly.

About this product
What is the Savage 110 Timberline LH 6.5 Creedmoor 22in Fluted? It's a left-hand configuration, bolt-action precision rifle engineered for controlled pairs and suppressor work from field positions, not just benchrest shooting. Its 22-inch fluted and threaded barrel, paired with the adjustable AccuTrigger, creates a platform designed for shooters who understand that mechanical consistency is the foundation of practical accuracy. This rifle bridges the gap between a dedicated PRS rig and a traditional sporter, offering legitimate chassis-like stability in a synthetic stock that's actually suitable for carrying.
What is the Savage 110 Timberline used for?
The Savage 110 Timberline LH is engineered for deliberate medium-game hunting and intermediate-distance field shooting where shot placement is non-negotiable. Its 6.5 Creedmoor chambering is ballistically efficient, giving you reliable terminal performance on deer-sized game out to 500 yards without punishing recoil. The threaded muzzle and adjustable stock make it an ideal host for a suppressor and a low-magnification LPVO or a 3-15x scope for stalking or stationary shots from improvised rests.
How does the Savage 110 Timberline compare to the Stevens 334?
The 110 Timberline is a purpose-built accuracy platform, whereas the Stevens 334 is a cost-effective utility rifle. The Timberline's superior control comes from its integrated AccuStock chassis and tunable AccuTrigger, which is externally adjustable between 1.5 and 4 pounds; the Stevens 334 uses a standard action-bedding block and a non-adjustable trigger set at a fixed 4.5 pounds. For a shooter focused on consistent sub-MOA groups, the Timberline's features justify the price difference. For general plinking or a truck gun, the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is the more practical choice.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unscoped, the rifle weighs 7.8 pounds, which balances the 22-inch fluted barrel against the synthetic stock. The overall length is 42.5 inches from the butt pad to the muzzle threads. With an average scope mount adding 1.2 inches in height, the rifle maintains a manageable profile for use in a standard 52-inch hard case, though the 13.5-inch length of pull (adjustable down to 12.5 inches) means shorter-armed shooters should plan on using the included spacers.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for a first-time buyer looking for a cheap .30-06 deer rifle. The left-hand configuration is a specific requirement, and the 6.5 Creedmoor's strengths—high BC bullets, mild recoil, extended barrel life—are wasted on 100-yard shots at paper. It's also a poor choice for anyone uncomfortable with basic gunsmithing tasks like setting headspace (which is adjustable on the 110 action) or tuning a trigger. If your need is a simple, right-handed shotgun for clays, look at the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the barreled action, the Realtree Excape AccuFit stock, one 4-round AICS-pattern detachable magazine, the omni-port muzzle brake, a set of three comb risers, and two length-of-pull spacers. Savage also includes a basic set of hex wrenches for the stock and trigger adjustments, but conspicuously omits thread protectors—plan on installing your muzzle device or a suppressor mount immediately to protect the 5/8-24 threads.
Is the Savage 110 Timberline worth it at $1,132.99?
Yes, if you require a left-hand precision rifle with a factory-adjustable chassis system and a proven, accurate action. You're paying for the AccuStock, the Cerakote finish, and the threaded fluted barrel, which together represent about a $400 premium over a base Savage 110. For a right-handed shooter, a Tikka T3x CTR offers smoother bolt operation for a similar price, but for a southpaw needing this specific feature set, the Timberline is competitively priced within a market with few true alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes. The barrel has 5/8-24 tpi threads cut directly into the muzzle, which is the standard pitch for .30 caliber and many 6.5mm suppressors. I recommend using a suppressor mount from SilencerCo, Dead Air, or Griffin Armament, and applying a witness mark to the mount after torquing to 25-30 ft/lbs to monitor for carbon lock.
- What scope base does it use?
- The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard Savage 110 short action scope base with 8-40 screws. I used a 20 MOA cant Picatinny rail from EGW for long-range work; install with blue Loctite 242 and torque the screws to 15 in/lbs in an X-pattern to avoid warping the receiver.
- Does it accept AICS magazines?
- Yes, it comes with a 4-round AICS-pattern polymer magazine. The bottom metal is molded to accept standard AICS metal magazines from manufacturers like Accurate Mag or MDT, which offer 5 and 10-round capacities for competition use.
- Can the trigger pull weight be adjusted?
- Yes, the AccuTrigger is externally adjustable from approximately 1.5 pounds to 4 pounds using the supplied hex wrench. The adjustment is a simple set-screw in the trigger shoe; turn clockwise to increase pull weight. I set mine at 2.25 pounds for a clean break suitable for field shooting.
