Savage 110 Ultralite .308 Win 22in 4rd
About this product
The Savage 110 Ultralite .308 Win 22in 4rd is a lightweight bolt-action rifle engineered for alpine hunting, pairing a carbon-wrapped Proof Research barrel with a skeletonized stainless receiver to achieve a field-ready weight of 5.8 pounds. This rifle maintains the structural integrity of Savage’s proven 110 action while incorporating modern features like an adjustable AccuFit stock and user-tunable AccuTrigger system. It represents a specific engineering solution for hunters who prioritize weight reduction without compromising on mechanical reliability or long-range accuracy potential.
What is the Savage 110 Ultralite used for?
The Savage 110 Ultralite is purpose-built for backcountry hunting where every ounce matters, specifically targeting mountain species like elk and mule deer. Its 22-inch carbon-wrapped barrel and 5.8-pound weight make it ideal for extended stalks at elevation, while the .308 Winchester chambering provides adequate energy for ethical takedowns out to 400 yards. The threaded 5/8-24 TPI muzzle allows for suppressor mounting, reducing recoil and signature during target practice or predator control operations.
How does the Savage 110 Ultralite compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 Ultralite outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in weight reduction and accuracy features, but costs approximately $500 more. Where the 110 Ultralite uses a premium Proof Research carbon-wrapped barrel and adjustable AccuFit system, the Stevens 334 employs a standard carbon steel barrel and fixed synthetic stock. The Savage is clearly better for serious alpine hunters needing sub-MOA performance, while the Stevens represents better value for casual shooters or truck gun applications.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5.8 pounds (92.8 ounces) empty with an overall length of 42.5 inches. The 22-inch barrel features a 1:10 twist rate optimized for stabilizing bullets from 150 to 180 grains, while the 4-round detachable magazine keeps the profile compact for maneuverability in dense cover. At these dimensions, the rifle balances precisely at the front action screw, making it feel even lighter when carried slung over extended distances.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for benchrest competitors or shooters prioritizing maximum precision above all else. The lightweight carbon-wrapped barrel heats quickly during sustained fire, potentially affecting point of impact beyond the third shot in rapid succession. The minimalist stock also lacks the weight and bedding surface area preferred for formal target shooting, making it less stable than dedicated target rifles like the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U for clay applications.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 4-round detachable box magazine and the AccuFit stock adjustment kit containing three comb height inserts and two length-of-pull spacers. No optic mounts or sling swivels are included, requiring purchasers to budget an additional $75-150 for mounting hardware. The factory packaging includes a basic cable lock and owner's manual detailing the AccuTrigger adjustment procedure for pull weights between 1.5 and 4 pounds.
Is the Savage 110 Ultralite worth it at $1342.99?
At $1342.99, the 110 Ultralite justifies its price for hunters covering serious vertical terrain where saving 2-3 pounds over conventional rifles translates to tangible endurance advantages. The Proof Research barrel alone retails for $800+ as an aftermarket component, making the complete rifle a sensible value proposition. For stationary hunting or range use, the premium for weight reduction may not provide sufficient return on investment compared to standard-weight alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- No, the Savage 110 Ultralite uses Savage's proprietary detachable magazine system, not the standardized AICS pattern. The factory magazine has a 4-round capacity and can be purchased separately for approximately $45 through Savage's parts department.
- Does the threaded barrel accept suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8-24 TPI threading is standard for .30 caliber suppressors from manufacturers like SilencerCo and Dead Air. I recommend using a crush washer or precision shims rather than direct threading to maintain proper alignment and prevent carbon lock during extended use.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Standard shipping to licensed FFL dealers typically takes 3-5 business days within the continental United States. All firearms require verification of the recipient's Federal Firearms License before shipment, adding 24-48 hours to processing time compared to non-restricted items.
- Can I adjust the trigger pull weight?
- Yes, the AccuTrigger system allows user adjustment from 1.5 to 4 pounds using the included tool. The mechanism incorporates a safety blade that must be fully depressed before the main sear releases, maintaining drop safety regardless of pull weight setting.
