About this product
What is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit 6.5 Creedmoor 20″ RH? It's a field-ready bolt-action precision rifle built for hunters who demand carbon-fiber barrel performance and regulatory-compliant SBR configurations. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20-inch threaded Proof Research barrel, this 7.4-pound platform bridges the gap between long-range capability and practical carry weight. The adjustable Grayboe stock and AccuTrigger system provide the ergonomic flexibility needed for sustained accuracy across varied terrain and shooting positions.
What is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit used for?
This rifle serves as a dedicated hunting and precision field platform for shooters who cover ground and engage targets beyond 300 yards. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering delivers flat trajectory with manageable recoil, while the 20-inch carbon-fiber barrel maintains rigidity without adding excessive weight. I've found it particularly effective for mountain hunting where every ounce matters, and the threaded muzzle allows for quick suppressor attachment when hunting in NFA-compliant configurations.
How does the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Pro Pursuit outperforms the Stevens 334 in both precision components and adjustability, though at nearly triple the price point. Where the Stevens 334 uses a conventional steel barrel and basic synthetic stock, the Pro Pursuit's Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel reduces weight by approximately 1.8 pounds while maintaining better thermal stability during sustained fire. The Grayboe adjustable stock provides comb height and length-of-pull customization that the fixed Stevens stock cannot match, making the Pro Pursuit better suited for shooters who require precise fit for optimal accuracy.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.4 pounds (118.4 ounces) unloaded, with an overall length of 40.5 inches and barrel length of 20 inches. The Grayboe stock adjusts for length of pull from 13.5 to 14.5 inches, while comb height adjusts through a 0.75-inch range. These dimensions make it approximately 4 inches shorter than most 24-inch barreled hunting rifles while maintaining the 6.5 Creedmoor's ballistic efficiency through the 1:8 twist rate.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for budget-conscious shooters or those who primarily shoot from benches. At $2249.99, it commands a premium over entry-level options like the Stevens 334, and the carbon-fiber barrel's advantages diminish when fired primarily from supported positions. The 3+1 magazine capacity also limits its utility for tactical applications where higher capacity might be required.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round AICS-pattern magazine, the OmniPort muzzle brake installed, and allen keys for stock and trigger adjustments. Unlike some competitors, it does not include a scope mount or bipod, though the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Savage 110 scope bases. The package weight shipped is approximately 9.5 pounds in a 48x12x6-inch cardboard box with foam protection.
Is the Savage 110 Pro Pursuit worth it at $2249.99?
Yes, for serious hunters who value weight reduction and precision adjustments in the field. The Proof Research barrel alone would cost over $800 if purchased separately, making the complete package reasonably priced within the precision hunting market. Compared to custom builds using similar components, the Pro Pursuit offers factory warranty support and guaranteed accuracy that justifies the premium over basic production rifles.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for suppressors?
- Yes, the 20-inch Proof Research barrel features 5/8x24 threads protected by a factory-installed OmniPort muzzle brake. The threads are cut to SAE specifications and will accept most common 6.5mm suppressors without requiring an adapter. I recommend checking suppressor alignment with a rod before first use to ensure proper concentricity.
- Does it accept aftermarket stocks?
- The action uses Savage 110 standard inlet patterns, making it compatible with most aftermarket stocks designed for the 110 series. The action screws are spaced 4.4 inches apart, and the recoil lug is standard Savage configuration. Popular options include McMillan, Manners, and chassis systems from MDT or KRG.
- What scope mount does it use?
- The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Savage 110 scope bases with 6-48 screws. I typically use Warne Maxima steel bases or EGW HD rails for maximum rigidity. The spacing is 6.5 inches between front and rear mounting points, compatible with most ring systems from Seekins, Nightforce, or Badger Ordnance.
- How long does shipping take to FFL?
- Firearms ship within 3 business days via FedEx Ground with adult signature required. Transit time typically runs 5-7 business days depending on destination. Your FFL must provide their license before shipment, and we verify all documentation complies with ATF requirements before release.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- We accept returns within 30 days for mechanical defects or accuracy issues verified with a 3-shot group test using factory ammunition. The rifle must maintain sub-1.5 MOA with quality match ammunition per Savage's accuracy guarantee. Return shipping to our Bozeman facility must be arranged through an FFL holder.
