About this product
The Savage 110 Core Predator LH .22-250 Rem 22in 10+1 is a left-hand configured bolt-action precision rifle engineered for varmint and predator control operations. It combines Savage's AccuFit V2 adjustable stock system with a Cerakote-protected, fluted medium-heavy barrel and accepts AICS-pattern magazines for reliable field performance under variable conditions. This specific configuration prioritizes ergonomic customization and mechanical consistency for left-handed shooters who require repeatable accuracy at extended ranges.
What is the Savage 110 Core Predator LH .22-250 Rem 22in 10+1 used for?
This rifle is engineered for precision varmint and predator hunting where shots typically range from 100 to 400 yards. The .22-250 Remington cartridge delivers flat trajectory and high velocity (typically 3,600-4,000 fps with 55gr loads), making it effective against coyotes, groundhogs, and prairie dogs. The left-hand bolt configuration provides natural operation for southpaw shooters, while the 22-inch fluted barrel manages heat dissipation during sustained firing strings.
How does the Savage 110 Core Predator LH compare to the Stevens 334 .243 Win 20″?
The Savage 110 Core Predator outperforms the Stevens 334 .243 Win in precision features and customization, though at nearly double the price point. Where the Stevens 334 offers basic bolt-action functionality at $489, the Savage 110 provides adjustable AccuTrigger (2.5-6 lb pull weight), aluminum bedding block, and interchangeable grip modules that the Stevens lacks. For varmint-specific work beyond 300 yards, the Savage's heavier barrel profile and AICS magazine system provide clear advantages in stability and reload speed.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 8.90 pounds unloaded and measures 42.26 inches in overall length with its 22-inch barrel. The medium-heavy barrel profile measures 0.850 inches at the muzzle with 6 longitudinal flutes reducing weight by approximately 12 ounces compared to a non-fluted equivalent. The 1:12 twist rate stabilizes lighter varmint bullets (45-55 grain) optimally for the .22-250 cartridge's velocity characteristics.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for beginners or budget-conscious hunters who don't require precision customization features. The $961.99 price point places it above entry-level options like the Stevens 334, and left-hand operation makes it irrelevant for right-handed shooters. Those hunting larger game (deer, hogs) should consider more powerful calibers, as the .22-250 is primarily a varmint round.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 10-round AICS-pattern metal magazine, three interchangeable grip modules (small, medium, large), and spacer kits for adjusting length of pull from 12.5 to 14.5 inches. Unlike some competition rifles, it does not include optics rings or a bipod—expect to add another $200-400 for a proper varmint scope mounting system. The one-piece 0 MOA rail is pre-installed but requires torque specification adherence (25 in-lb) for optimal stability.
Is the Savage 110 Core Predator LH worth it at $961.99?
At $961.99, this rifle justifies its cost for serious varmint hunters who specifically require left-hand operation and precision adjustments. The AccuTrigger system alone ($150 value if aftermarket) and Cerakote finish ($200-300 applied separately) account for significant value, while the AICS magazine compatibility ensures reliable feeding compared to traditional rotary magazines. For right-handed shooters or those on a budget, the Stevens 334 provides adequate performance at half the price.

Pros & cons
What works
- Left-hand bolt operation — eliminates awkward right-hand manipulation for southpaw shooters
- Adjustable AccuTrigger from 2.5-6 lb pull weight — precise trigger control for varied shooting conditions
- 22-inch fluted barrel reduces weight by 12 oz compared to non-fluted equivalents — better balance for field carry
- Accepts standard AICS magazines — reliable feeding and quick reloads versus proprietary systems
Trade-offs
- 8.90 lb weight unloaded — 2.3 lb heavier than lightweight hunting rifles, noticeable during extended carries
- No included optics mounting hardware — adds $80-120 for QUALITY rings and base beyond rifle cost
- Cerakote shows handling marks more visibly than phosphate finishes — requires careful maintenance in field use

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AICS magazines?
- Yes, it uses standard AICS-pattern magazines identical to those used in precision rifles like the Ruger Precision Rifle. The included metal magazine has 10-round capacity, and aftermarket options from Magpul and Accuracy International function identically. Expect to pay $45-75 for additional magazines from reputable manufacturers.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, the 42.26-inch overall length fits standard 44-inch rifle cases with minimal extra space. I recommend Plano All-Weather Case model 108141 for optimal protection during transport. The case interior measures 44.5 inches, providing just enough clearance for the barrel and mounted optics.
