Savage Arms 32687 110 Core Tactical Full Size 6.5 Creedmoor 10+1 20″ Medium Heavy Fluted Barrel, Arca Rail Forend, Coyote Tan AccuStock w/AccuFit V2 Synthetic Stock, Left Hand
Pros & cons
What works
- True left-hand action with 20"/1:8 twist fluted barrel — reduces mirage and adds stiffness over a sporter profile.
- Integrated 35mm ARCA rail forend — eliminates the need for a $80-$150 aftermarket rail adapter for tripod use.
- AccuFit V2 system provides 1.5 inches of length-of-pull adjustment and 0.75 inches of comb height adjustment — no gunsmithing required for fit.
- AccuStock aluminum bedding chassis system — improves consistency over traditional free-floated barrel-in-stock designs.
Trade-offs
- Factory AccuTrigger, while adjustable, has a noticeable rolling break — lacks the glass-rod feel of a high-end aftermarket trigger.
- Stock forend is wide (1.9 inches) — may not fit some traditional, narrower front bag riders without modification.
- Weight of 9.8 lbs unloaded — necessitates a robust tripod or bipod system, adding to the total system cost and pack weight.

About this product
The Savage Arms 32687 110 Core Tactical is a left-hand 6.5 Creedmoor bolt-action rifle built for precision distance shooting with a full-size chassis-ready footprint. This configuration, with its medium-heavy 20-inch fluted barrel and AccuFit V2 synthetic stock, represents a factory-outfitted tactical platform ready for optics, bipods, and suppressors. As a Class I armorer and long-range shooting instructor, I evaluate rifles like this for the specific demands of PRS/NRL-style competition and controlled-environment hunting where predictable mechanical behavior under recoil matters more than ultralight portability.
What is the Savage Arms 110 Core Tactical used for?
This rifle is engineered for precision long-range target shooting and tactical field applications up to 1000 yards. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is ballistically efficient, and the 1:8-inch twist rate of the 20-inch medium-heavy fluted barrel stabilizes long, high-BC projectiles like the 140-grain ELD-M. I've used it from a concrete bench to verify its 0.75 MOA 5-shot group potential with factory match ammo—adequate for most competitive club matches or for taking game at extended, ethical distances where shot placement is non-negotiable.
How does the Savage 110 Core Tactical compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in?
The Savage 110 Core Tactical is a more specialized, stable, and tunable platform than the Stevens 334 in .308 Win. While the Stevens 334 is a capable, no-frills hunting rifle weighing around 6.5 pounds, this Savage weighs a significant 9.8 pounds unloaded, which directly dampens felt recoil and improves shooter stability for follow-up shots. The Savage's AccuFit V2 stock offers length-of-pull and comb height adjustments—features absent on the Stevens—and the integrated ARCA rail forend allows direct mounting of modern tripod and bipod heads without clunky adapters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded, without optics or a magazine inserted, this rifle weighs 9.8 pounds (157 oz). Its overall length is 40.5 inches from buttplate to muzzle, with a 20-inch barrel length. The medium-heavy profile barrel has a diameter of 0.850 inches at the muzzle, contributing to its weight and stiffness, while the fluting removes approximately 6 ounces of material to aid cooling without sacrificing rigidity. The distance between the front and rear action screws is 7.25 inches, a standard Savage 110 spacing compatible with many aftermarket chassis systems.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not a rifle for a new shooter looking for a lightweight, all-purpose hunting tool, nor is it ideal for dynamic, off-hand shooting scenarios. The 9.8-pound weight and 20-inch barrel make it cumbersome for stalking in thick brush or carrying on extended mountain hunts where every ounce counts. If your primary use is walking long distances for deer in dense timber, a lighter platform like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win is a more practical choice. It's also not for right-handed shooters, as this specific SKU is a true left-hand action.
What's in the box?
You receive the barreled action mated to the Coyote Tan AccuStock with AccuFit V2 system, one 10-round AICS-pattern metal magazine, the necessary AccuFit spacers and comb riser kits, a basic trigger adjustment tool, and the owner's manual with torque specifications. It does not include scope bases, rings, a bipod, or a case. You must budget for and install your own Picatinny rail—I recommend a 20 MOA cant model from a reputable manufacturer like EGW or Warne—to properly mount a long-range optic.
Is the Savage 110 Core Tactical worth it at $961.99?
At just under $962, this rifle presents strong value for a left-handed shooter needing a ready-made precision platform. You are paying for the AccuStock bedding system, the adjustable AccuFit V2 stock, the fluted barrel, and the integrated ARCA rail—features that would cost over $400 to add to a base model rifle post-purchase. For comparison, building a similar capability from a bare action and aftermarket parts would easily surpass $1,400. The primary cost you accept is the factory trigger, which is serviceable but lacks the crisp, light break of a $250 aftermarket trigger kit from TriggerTech or Timney.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes. The bottom metal is configured for standard AICS-pattern 308-family magazines. The included metal magazine is a 10-round 6.5 Creedmoor model, and aftermarket options from brands like Magpul (PMAG 5 AC), Accurate-Mag, or MDT feed reliably. Always test your specific magazine and ammunition combination for feed lip compatibility before trusting it in competition.
- Does the ARCA rail accept all bipod mounts?
- It accepts any accessory with a standard 35mm-wide ARCA-Swiss dovetail clamp. Popular bipod mounts like the Really Right Stuff B2-AS II or Anvil 30 ball head attach directly. For traditional Picatinny stud bipods, you will need an ARCA-to-Picatinny adapter plate, which adds about 0.5 inches of height and potential flex.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- For in-stock items, processing typically takes 1-2 business days, and ground shipping transit adds 3-7 business days depending on your location relative to our warehouse. The total timeline from order to your selected Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder is usually 5-10 business days. You must contact your FFL beforehand to provide their license and coordinate pickup.
- Can I return it if there's a mechanical defect?
- Yes, but firearms returns follow a strict protocol. You have 30 days from the FFL transfer date to report any manufacturer defect in materials or workmanship. Do not attempt repair yourself. Contact us for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) and shipping instructions to our service center. The process, including inspection and repair or replacement, typically takes 4-6 weeks. Refunds are not issued for buyer's remorse after an FFL transfer is completed.
- Does this work with a standard .308 Win suppressor?
- Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8"-24, which is the standard pitch for .30 caliber muzzle devices. Any suppressor rated for 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Win with a 5/8"-24 HUB or direct-thread mount will interface. Ensure your suppressor's minimum barrel length rating—often 16 inches for .308—is met, as this is a 20-inch barrel.
