Savage 110 Trailblazer XP LH .350 Legend 18″ Fluted
About this product
What is the Savage 110 Trailblazer XP LH .350 Legend 18″ Fluted? This is a left-hand bolt-action hunting rifle engineered for straight-wall cartridge hunting zones, built on Savage's proven 110 action with an 18-inch threaded and fluted barrel, an adjustable synthetic stock, and a factory-mounted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope. It's a complete, out-of-the-box hunting solution chambered for the .350 Legend, a cartridge designed for regulatory compliance in states restricting bottle-necked rifle rounds. The package delivers Savage's noted out-of-the-box accuracy at a price point that undercuts many custom builds.
What is the Savage 110 Trailblazer XP LH .350 Legend 18″ Fluted used for?
This rifle is a dedicated, purpose-built tool for hunting medium game in jurisdictions requiring straight-wall cartridges. Its primary application is for deer, hog, and bear hunting in states like Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, and Indiana, where the .350 Legend's ballistics meet legal requirements for specific hunting zones. The threaded barrel allows for suppressor use where legal, reducing report and recoil, which is a significant advantage for extended range sessions or hunting in noise-sensitive areas. The included optics and adjustable stock mean it's truly ready for the field immediately after the mandatory background check and zeroing.
How does the Savage 110 Trailblazer XP LH .350 Legend 18″ Fluted compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic?
The Trailblazer is superior for regulated straight-wall hunting, while the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is better for unregulated, long-range versatility. The critical difference is the cartridge; the .350 Legend (this rifle) is a straight-wall round with a maximum effective range of roughly 250 yards, designed explicitly for legal compliance, while the .308 Win (Stevens 334) is a high-powered bottleneck cartridge effective beyond 800 yards. The Trailblazer comes with a scope and adjustable stock, adding approximately $250 in value over the bare-bones Stevens 334 platform. Choose the Trailblazer if your hunting is dictated by straight-wall laws; for all other centerfire hunting scenarios, the Stevens 334 offers more power and reach for the same manual operation.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 8 pounds (128 ounces) unloaded, with an overall length of 39.5 inches from the buttpad to the muzzle thread protector. The critical barrel dimension is the 18-inch length with a 1:16-inch twist rate, optimized for stabilizing heavier .350 Legend bullets up to 265 grains. The threaded muzzle uses a standard 5/8x24 thread pitch, compatible with a vast array of muzzle devices and .30-caliber suppressors. The adjustable length of pull on the synthetic stock can be modified from approximately 13.5 inches to 14.5 inches to accommodate different shooter statures and layers of cold-weather clothing.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for a shooter seeking a traditional wood-and-steel aesthetic or a long-range precision platform. The synthetic stock, while practical, lacks the warmth and classic look of a walnut stock like that found on a Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge. Furthermore, the .350 Legend cartridge itself imposes a ballistic ceiling; if you hunt in areas without straight-wall restrictions and want to ethically engage targets beyond 300 yards, a rifle in .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor is a mechanically superior choice. It's also not ideal for high-volume shooting sports, as the bolt-action design and four-round magazine capacity are limitations versus a semi-automatic platform.
What's in the box?
You receive a complete, ready-to-hunt system. The primary component is the Savage 110 Trailblazer XP rifle with its 4-round detachable polymer magazine (verified capacity: 4+1). The optic package is a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm riflescope with a Dead-Hold BDC reticle, pre-mounted in a set of Savage-branded medium-height rings on a 0-MOA Picatinny rail. The box also contains the thread protector, a basic chamber flag, a trigger adjustment tool for the AccuTrigger, the owner's manual, and a lock. Notably, you do not receive a separate scope mounting kit or a premium soft case, which are common aftermarket purchases.
Is the Savage 110 Trailblazer XP LH .350 Legend 18″ Fluted worth it at $820.99?
At $820.99, this package delivers significant value by consolidating necessary purchases into one transaction. The Vortex Crossfire II scope retails for around $200, and professional mounting/boresighting can cost another $75-$100. The Savage AccuTrigger and adjustable stock are features typically found on rifles costing $150-$300 more. When you factor in the specific left-hand configuration and the compliance-ready .350 Legend chambering, the Trailblazer XP saves a specialized hunter time and money versus piecing together a similar setup. The primary competitor is building your own, which almost always exceeds this price once you source a barreled action, stock, base, rings, and optic separately.

Pros & cons
What works
- Complete package includes a Vortex 3-9x40 scope ($200 value) pre-mounted and boresighted
- Adjustable length of pull spans 13.5 to 14.5 inches for shooter fit with heavy clothing
- Left-hand configuration eliminates the learning curve for southpaw shooters on a right-hand bolt
- 18-inch fluted and threaded barrel (5/8x24) is suppressor-ready and saves 6-8 ounces versus a standard contour
Trade-offs
- Synthetic stock has noticeable flex in the forend under bipod pressure, affecting harmonic consistency for precision shooting
- Factory magazine release is stiff and requires deliberate pressure; not ideal for fast reloads in the field
- 8-pound weight is substantial for a compact hunting rifle; lighter alternatives in the same caliber exist
- No iron sights are provided; you are entirely reliant on the mounted optic from the first shot

Frequently asked questions
- Is the threaded barrel compatible with a .30 caliber suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 thread pitch is standard for .30 caliber (7.62mm) accessories. It will directly accept most .30 caliber muzzle brakes, flash hiders, and suppressors rated for .350 Legend pressures. Always verify thread alignment with an alignment rod from a vendor like Silencer Central. The 18-inch barrel length is also common for suppressor hosts in this cartridge class.
- Does the included Vortex scope come with a warranty?
- Absolutely. The Vortex Crossfire II scope is covered by Vortex's VIP Unlimited Unconditional Lifetime Warranty. This means Vortex will repair or replace the scope at their discretion, even for accidental damage, with no receipt required. This warranty is fully transferable and does not require you to be the original purchaser, which is a significant value addition.
- Can I swap the stock for an aftermarket chassis?
- Yes, but with a critical caveat for left-hand models. The action is a standard Savage 110 short-action footprint, which has broad aftermarket support from companies like MDT and KRG. However, you must specifically purchase a chassis or stock inlet for a left-hand Savage 110 short action. Right-hand models will not fit. The action screws are spaced 4.275 inches center-to-center.
- How long does shipping to an FFL typically take?
- For in-stock items, processing and shipment from our warehouse typically occurs within 2 business days. Transit time via standard ground service averages 3-7 business days to the contiguous United States, depending on the receiving FFL's location. The total timeline from order to FFL notification is usually 5-10 business days. You must contact your chosen FFL to complete the transfer, which may add additional time.
