About this product
What is the Savage 110 Varmint .22-250 Rem 26in HBAR Bolt Action? It is a purpose-built, heavy-barrel bolt-action rifle engineered specifically for stable, repeatable precision work on varmints and small targets at extended distances. The platform centers on a 10.2-pound mass and a 26-inch heavy-profile barrel that together deliver the kind of static weight and harmonic consistency demanded by serious shooters.
What is the Savage 110 Varmint .22-250 Rem 26in HBAR used for?
This rifle is designed for deliberate, supported shooting at prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and coyotes from 200 to 500 yards. The .22-250 Remington cartridge delivers flatter trajectories than common .223 Remington loads, with factory ammo regularly exceeding 3,800 feet per second. The AccuTrigger’s user-adjustable pull weight, from 1.5 to 4 lbs, allows for fine-tuning to your preferred break, and the 46-inch overall length requires a specific shooting setup, like a bipod or front bag rest, for field use.
How does the Savage 110 Varmint .22-250 compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Savage 110 Varmint is a superior choice for dedicated long-range varminting, while the the Stevens 334 20-inch .308 is a more versatile, general-purpose hunting rifle. The Savage's 26-inch heavy barrel and 10.2-pound weight provide far greater stability for shooting strings from a bench or fixed position, whereas the Stevens 334 weighs roughly 6.5 pounds and handles more like a traditional sporter. For pure precision on small targets beyond 300 yards, the Savage's platform is objectively better; for carrying through brush and taking a single shot at a whitetail, the Stevens is the pragmatic choice.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 10.2 pounds (4.63 kg) unloaded and without optics, contributing directly to its reduced felt recoil and stability. The overall length is 46 inches, with a 26-inch button-rifled barrel featuring a muzzle diameter of 0.850 inches at the crown. The 13.5-inch length of pull is adjustable via the AccuFit system’s spacers, and the detachable box magazine protrudes 1.25 inches below the stock line.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not a rifle for stalk hunting or off-hand shooting. The 10.2-pound weight and 46-inch length make it cumbersome for carrying any significant distance, and its balance is decidedly muzzle-heavy. If you need a walking rifle for deer in timber or a general-purpose truck gun, consider a lighter, shorter option like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win — our editorial take. This Savage is a specialist's tool.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 4-round, steel, detachable box magazine and the AccuFit spacers required to adjust the length of pull and comb height. You will not find a scope mount, sling swivels, or a basic cleaning kit—Savage assumes you’re sourcing those components to match your specific optic and support system. The receiver is pre-drilled and tapped for a standard Savage 110 scope base pattern, requiring 8-40 screws.
Is the Savage 110 Varmint worth it at $775.99?
At this price point, it represents significant value for a shooter who needs out-of-the-box accuracy without a custom gunsmithing project. You are paying for the integrated AccuStock bedding system and the adjustable AccuTrigger—features that typically require aftermarket purchases and gunsmith installation on other platforms. If your goal is sub-MOA groups with quality factory ammunition from a stable platform, the $775.99 buy-in is justified. If you intend to immediately replace the stock and trigger, you’d be better served starting with a bare action.

Pros & cons
What works
- AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from a 1.5 lb to a 4 lb pull weight without a gunsmith
- 10.2 lb weight reduces felt recoil by approximately 40% compared to a 7 lb sporter in the same caliber
- Button-rifled 26-inch heavy barrel maintains consistent internal dimensions for prolonged accuracy
Trade-offs
- Proprietary magazine design limits aftermarket options—replacement mags cost $45-$60 each
- 46-inch overall length requires a specific 52-inch or larger hard case for transport, adding to initial setup cost
- Matte black carbon steel finish is functional but shows handling marks and requires frequent oiling to prevent surface rust in humid conditions

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard Savage 110 scope mounts?
- Yes, the receiver is pre-drilled and tapped for the standard Savage 110 short-action scope base pattern, which uses 8-40 screws. I recommend using a one-piece base from a manufacturer like EGW or Warne for maximum rigidity. The included hardware is not sufficient for a precision optic.
- Does it work with aftermarket muzzle devices?
- Yes, the muzzle has a standard 5/8-24 thread pattern, which is common for .22-caliber rifles. This allows direct installation of muzzle brakes or suppressors rated for .22-250 pressures, provided your state laws and any applicable NFA tax stamps are in order. Always verify concentricity with an alignment rod before firing.
- Does this work with Magpul AICS-pattern magazines?
- No, it does not. The Savage 110 Varmint uses a proprietary, center-feed, detachable box magazine specific to the Savage short-action footprint. Magpul AICS-pattern magazines will not seat or function. Replacement factory magazines are available directly from Savage or retailers like Brownells.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- For in-stock items, processing typically takes 1-2 business days before shipment. Transit time depends on your location and carrier, but ground shipping to most continental US addresses from our warehouse takes 3-7 business days. You must provide your FFL’s contact information and license before the firearm ships.
