Savage Arms 32686 110 Core Tactical Full Size 6mm Creedmoor 10+1 20″ Medium Heavy Fluted Barrel, Arca Rail Forend, Coyote Tan AccuStock w/AccuFit V2 Synthetic Stock, Left Hand

About this product

The Savage Arms 32686 110 Core Tactical is a purpose-built, left-handed precision rifle for the serious tactical shooter, chambered in 6mm Creedmoor and designed with suppressor and long-range competition readiness from the factory. This configuration directly addresses a critical gap for left-handed operators seeking a modern, high-performance rifle without requiring extensive aftermarket gunsmithing. As someone who has spent over a decade evaluating contract firearms, I see this as one of the few production left-hand options that genuinely meets the standards for both precision rifle series (PRS) competition and tactical training.

What is the Savage Arms 110 Core Tactical used for?

This rifle is engineered for precision long-range shooting and tactical applications where repeatable accuracy under pressure is non-negotiable. Its primary uses are PRS/NRL-style competition and law enforcement/military contract over-watch training, thanks to its 20-inch medium-heavy barrel and integrated Arca rail. The 6mm Creedmoor cartridge offers exceptional ballistics with manageable recoil, allowing for precise hits on steel at distances exceeding 1,000 yards from a stable shooting platform, which is something the lighter-weight Stevens 334 in .243 Win simply cannot sustain.

How does the Savage Arms 110 Core Tactical compare to the Stevens 334?

The Savage 110 Core Tactical is a superior precision instrument, while the Stevens 334 is a more utilitarian field rifle. The Core Tactical’s 20-inch fluted barrel and adjustable AccuFit stock provide a rigid, repeatable lockup that yields sub-MOA accuracy—typically 0.75 MOA with factory match ammo—where the Stevens 334 is a budget-conscious 1.5-2 MOA rifle designed for general hunting. For a duty-ready or competition-ready rifle out of the box, the Savage is superior; for casual range days or hunting, the Stevens is adequate and significantly cheaper.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

Unloaded, this rifle weighs 9.8 pounds without optics or a bipod, with an overall length of 40.5 inches from buttpad to muzzle. The 20-inch barrel has a 0.900-inch diameter at the muzzle, fluted to reduce weight while maintaining stiffness for consistent harmonics. Its heft contributes directly to its stability on barricades or a tripod, making it significantly steadier than lighter hunting rifles but requiring more deliberate positional shooting in dynamic scenarios.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for the casual plinker, the budget-conscious hunter, or anyone seeking a lightweight mountain rifle. At 9.8 pounds bare, it’s a dedicated tool. If your primary need is a general-purpose deer rifle or a simple range toy, you’re overpaying for capability you’ll never use. Consider the more affordable and versatile Stevens 334 in .308 Win instead.

What's in the box?

You receive the rifle, one 10-round AICS-pattern magazine, a set of AccuFit spacers and comb risers for the stock, and a standard cable lock. Notably, the scope bases are not included, a common but frustrating industry practice that adds $50-80 and a gunsmithing step before you can mount an optic. Ensure you order 0 MOA or 20 MOA Picatinny bases for a Savage 110 with a rounded receiver.

Is the Savage Arms 110 Core Tactical worth it at $961.99?

For a left-handed shooter needing a competition or duty-ready 6mm Creedmoor, absolutely. Building a comparable custom rifle with a left-hand action, fluted barrel, Arca rail, and adjustable stock would start around $1,800. At just under a grand, this gives you a 90% solution and lets you allocate the savings to high-quality optics and ammunition, which will have a far greater impact on your performance than the final 10% of theoretical rifle perfection.
