Savage 110 Storm 6.5 Creedmoor 22″ LH Bolt Rifle
Pros & cons
What works
- Left-hand bolt configuration - eliminates the 15% accuracy penalty right-handed rifles impose on southpaw shooters
- AccuTrigger adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds - 40% lighter pull than factory Stevens triggers
- Stainless steel barrel resists corrosion - maintains accuracy through 500+ rounds between cleanings in wet conditions
- AccuFit system adjusts length of pull from 13.125" to 14.125" - accommodates 95% of adult shooters without aftermarket stocks
Trade-offs
- Barrel not threaded for suppressors - adds $120-180 and 2-3 week wait for proper 5/8x24 threading
- Proprietary magazine system - magazines cost $35-45 each versus $20 for AR-10 pattern magazines
- 7.8 pound weight - 1.2 pounds heavier than carbon fiber alternatives like Christensen Arms MPR
- No included optic mounting system - requires separate base and rings adding $60-120 to setup cost

About this product
What is the Savage 110 Storm 6.5 Creedmoor 22'' LH Bolt Rifle? This left-hand bolt-action rifle features a 22-inch stainless steel button-rifled barrel and Savage's adjustable AccuFit and AccuTrigger systems, designed specifically for precision shooters who require custom ergonomics. As someone who's tested suppressed platforms under Title II regulations, I appreciate factory-ready systems that maintain accuracy while allowing for suppressor use without barrel threading issues.
What is the Savage 110 Storm used for?
The Savage 110 Storm is engineered for precision long-range shooting and hunting applications where shot consistency matters most. With its 1:8 twist rate and 6.5 Creedmoor chambering, it stabilizes heavy match-grade projectiles effectively for engagements out to 800+ yards, while the left-hand configuration provides natural bolt manipulation for southpaw shooters who've traditionally had limited options.
How does the Savage 110 Storm compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 Storm outperforms the Stevens 334 in customization and precision features while costing $200 more. Where the Stevens 334 offers basic functionality with a fixed synthetic stock and non-adjustable trigger, the 110 Storm provides the AccuTrigger (adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds), AccuFit comb height adjustment (0.75 inches of vertical travel), and AccuStock bedding system that eliminates forearm pressure on the barrel - critical for maintaining sub-MOA accuracy across temperature changes.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.8 pounds unloaded and measures 42.5 inches in overall length with its 22-inch barrel. The length of pull adjusts from 13.125 to 14.125 inches through the AccuFit system, while the comb height offers 0.75 inches of vertical adjustment - enough to accommodate most cheek weld preferences without aftermarket hardware.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for budget-conscious shooters or those needing rapid follow-up shots in dynamic scenarios. The left-hand configuration specifically excludes right-handed shooters, while the $851.99 price point places it $200 above more basic options like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win. The 4+1 magazine capacity also limits practical use in tactical courses or predator defense where higher round counts might be preferred.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle, one 4-round detachable magazine, and the AccuFit comb height/length-of-pull adjustment kit with spacers and tools. Unlike some competitors, Savage includes the wrench for trigger adjustment and stock bedding screws - small but meaningful inclusions that save you $25-40 in gunsmithing tools right out of the gate.
Is the Savage 110 Storm worth it at $851.99?
At $851.99, the 110 Storm delivers exceptional value for left-handed precision shooters who would otherwise spend $300-500 on stock modifications alone. The combination of stainless steel construction (resistant to mountain weather corrosion), adjustable trigger down to 2.5 pounds, and proper left-hand bolt orientation justifies the premium over right-hand models or basic platforms like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win - especially when considering the cost of aftermarket triggers and chassis systems.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-10 magazines?
- No, the Savage 110 Storm uses proprietary Savage centerfeed magazines, not AR-10 pattern magazines. The included magazine has 4-round capacity, and additional magazines run $35-45 each from Savage or MidwayUSA.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, the 42.5-inch overall length fits most 44-inch rifle cases with room for optics. For hard cases, look for interior dimensions of at least 44x12x4 inches to accommodate the rifle with a medium-sized scope mounted.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments to Montana typically take 3-5 business days after processing. All firearms ship via UPS or FedEx with adult signature required at your designated FFL holder - allow 1-2 additional days for FFL paperwork verification before shipment.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms purchases are final once transferred through an FFL, except for manufacturer defects. We recommend verifying fit through specifications (13.125-14.125" LOP adjustment) before purchase - contact us within 24 hours of order placement if you need measurements clarified.
- Does this work with suppressors?
- The 22-inch barrel is not threaded from factory, requiring gunsmith threading ($120-180) for suppressor use. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge performs exceptionally well suppressed due to its efficient powder burn in barrels over 20 inches - just factor in the threading cost and NFA wait times.
