Unleashing Precision: Key Technologies of the Savage 110 Predator

The Savage 110 Predator stands out thanks to its integration of Savage's signature technologies, each contributing significantly to its renowned accuracy and user-friendliness:

The Revolutionary AccuFit System: Tailored Comfort and Consistent Accuracy

One of the most critical factors in shooting accuracy is the rifle's fit to the shooter. An ill-fitting stock can lead to inconsistent sight alignment, discomfort, and ultimately, missed shots. The Savage AccuFit synthetic stock system on the 110 Predator completely transforms this experience, offering an unparalleled level of customization usually found only in high-end custom rifles. This system includes:

• Five Comb Riser Sizes: The AccuFit system provides five different comb riser inserts, allowing shooters to adjust the height of the stock's comb. Why is this crucial? It ensures that your eye aligns perfectly with your scope or sights every time you shoulder the rifle. Proper eye-to-scope alignment (or "eye relief") is fundamental for a clear, full sight picture and consistent accuracy. For predator hunters who might be shooting from various positions – prone, kneeling, or from a blind – having the ability to quickly adjust comb height means maintaining optimal head position and reducing neck strain, leading to better shot placement and reduced fatigue over long periods in the field.
• Four Composite Length-of-Pull Inserts: Beyond comb height, the length of pull (LOP) – the distance from the trigger to the buttpad – is equally vital for comfortable and stable shooting. The 110 Predator comes with four composite inserts, enabling shooters to fine-tune the LOP to their unique body dimensions, arm length, and even clothing thickness (e.g., heavy winter coats). A correct LOP ensures a natural and relaxed grip on the pistol grip, proper trigger finger placement, and optimal recoil absorption. This adaptability means shooters of different sizes, or even the same shooter wearing different gear, can achieve a consistent and comfortable shooting stance, significantly enhancing control and accuracy.

The benefits of the AccuFit system are profound: it reduces shooter fatigue, improves recoil management, and most importantly, enhances shot-to-shot consistency by ensuring a repeatable cheek weld and eye alignment. This system empowers shooters to personalize their rifle like never before, directly translating to superior performance in the field.

The Rigid AccuStock: The Foundation of Precision

Complementing the AccuFit system is Savage's innovative AccuStock. This component is far more than just a stock; it's a critical stability platform for the rifle's action and barrel. The AccuStock features a rigid aluminum rail system that is firmly embedded throughout the forend of the rifle. This unique design provides a rock-solid foundation for the barreled action:

• Three-Dimensional Engagement: Unlike traditional bedding, the AccuStock engages the rifle's action three-dimensionally along its entire length. This creates an incredibly stable and precise union between the action and the stock, eliminating any subtle movements or flex that could otherwise negatively impact accuracy.
• Free-Floating Barrel Support: The design ensures that the 24-inch carbon steel barrel remains truly free-floating within the stock. A free-floating barrel is essential for optimal accuracy, as it prevents any pressure points from the stock that could introduce inconsistencies in barrel harmonics as the bullet travels through. This allows the barrel to vibrate uniformly with each shot, leading to tighter groups.

The AccuStock's inherent rigidity and precise action engagement are foundational to the 110 Predator's reputation for out-of-the-box accuracy, making it a reliable choice for hunters who demand consistent sub-MOA performance.

The User-Adjustable AccuTrigger: Precision Control at Your Fingertips

The Savage AccuTrigger is arguably one of the most celebrated innovations in modern rifle design, and it's a standard feature on the 110 Predator. This revolutionary trigger system offers:

• User Adjustability: The AccuTrigger allows the shooter to safely adjust the pull weight from approximately 1.5 to 6 pounds without needing a gunsmith. This means you can customize the trigger pull to your exact preference, whether you prefer a lighter pull for precision shooting or a slightly heavier one for field safety.
• Crisp, Clean Break: Regardless of the pull weight setting, the AccuTrigger is renowned for its crisp, clean break without creep or overtravel. This "glass-rod" break is crucial for minimizing shooter-induced movement at the moment of firing, directly contributing to tighter shot groups.
• Integrated Safety Blade: A key safety feature, the AccuTrigger incorporates a small blade within the main trigger. The rifle will only fire if both the main trigger and the safety blade are intentionally depressed. This innovative design allows for a lighter, more precise trigger pull while maintaining a high level of safety against accidental discharge.

For varmint and predator hunters, a predictable and crisp trigger is invaluable. It enables precise shot placement, especially when taking longer shots where even a slight flinch can mean the difference between a hit and a miss. The AccuTrigger provides the confidence and control needed for ethical and successful hunting.

Optimized for Performance: Barrel, Caliber, and Materials

The Savage 110 Predator in 22-250 Remington is built for ballistic excellence and enduring performance:

• 22-250 Remington Caliber: This rifle is chambered in the highly regarded 22-250 Remington, a cartridge celebrated for its exceptionally flat trajectory and high velocity. It’s an ideal choice for predator and varmint hunting, offering devastating terminal performance on small to medium-sized game with minimal recoil. The high velocity of the 22-250 Rem means less bullet drop over distance, simplifying holdovers and increasing the probability of a first-shot hit on fast-moving or distant targets.
• 24" Matte Black Carbon Steel Barrel: The rifle features a 24-inch barrel, a length that maximizes the ballistic potential of the 22-250 Remington cartridge, ensuring optimal velocity and energy transfer. The matte black finish reduces glare, critical for stealth in hunting environments.
• Fluted Barrel Design: The barrel is fluted, a design choice that offers multiple advantages:
  • Weight Reduction: Fluting removes material from the barrel, making the rifle lighter for easier carrying during long hunts without significantly sacrificing rigidity.
  • Increased Surface Area/Cooling: The flutes increase the barrel's surface area, which helps dissipate heat more efficiently during rapid firing sequences, maintaining accuracy over longer shooting sessions.
  • Enhanced Rigidity: While paradoxically lighter, fluting can also increase the barrel's stiffness-to-weight ratio, contributing to consistent accuracy.
• Threaded Muzzle with End Cap: A significant advantage for modern shooters, the 24-inch barrel is threaded at the muzzle. This allows for the easy attachment of various muzzle devices, such as suppressors (for noise reduction and improved hearing safety) or muzzle brakes (for recoil mitigation). The included end cap protects the threads when no device is attached, preserving their integrity.
• Button-Rifling: The barrel utilizes Savage's precision button-rifling process, known for producing highly consistent and accurate bores, which is fundamental to the rifle's inherent precision.
• 1:12" Twist Rate: The 1:12" twist rate is ideally suited for stabilizing the common bullet weights used in the 22-250 Remington cartridge, typically lighter, high-velocity projectiles favored for varmint and predator applications. This ensures optimal bullet flight and superior accuracy.
• Matte Black Carbon Steel Receiver: The receiver, the heart of the rifle, is crafted from robust carbon steel with a non-reflective matte black finish, offering both durability and discretion in the field.

Ergonomics, Handling, and Field Utility

Beyond its core technologies, the Savage 110 Predator is designed with the hunter's practical needs in mind:

• Mossy Oak Terra Synthetic Stock: The AccuStock features the striking Mossy Oak Terra camouflage pattern, providing excellent concealment in various natural environments. The synthetic material ensures durability, weather resistance, and minimal maintenance, making it perfect for challenging outdoor conditions.
• Soft Grip Forend and Pistol Grip: Ergonomic soft grip panels are integrated into the forend and pistol grip. These provide a secure and comfortable hold, even in wet or cold conditions, reducing hand fatigue and enhancing control for precise shooting.
• Detachable Box Magazine: The 110 Predator comes with a convenient detachable box magazine with a 4+1 capacity. This allows for quick and easy reloading in the field, a crucial advantage when engaging multiple targets or needing a fast follow-up shot.
• Two-Piece Weaver Style Bases: Ready for your preferred optics, the rifle includes two-piece Weaver style bases. This provides a reliable platform for mounting a wide range of scopes, ensuring you can quickly equip the rifle for optimal visibility and target acquisition. The absence of traditional iron sights underscores its design for magnified optic use, essential for precision hunting.
• Manageable Weight and OAL: With an overall length (OAL) of 44.25 inches and a weight of 8.69 lbs, the 110 Predator strikes a balance between stability for accurate shooting and portability for trekking through varied terrain. Its full-size design ensures a stable platform, especially for precision shots.
