Why Choose the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP .450 Bushmaster?

The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP is more than just a rifle; it's a meticulously assembled system designed to eliminate guesswork and maximize your success in the field. It addresses the common needs of hunters, from those new to the sport looking for a reliable first rifle to seasoned veterans requiring a specialized tool for specific hunting scenarios, especially in states with straight-wall cartridge regulations.

This rifle solves several key challenges:

• Out-of-the-Box Readiness: The rifle comes with a Vortex Crossfire II scope professionally mounted and bore-sighted, saving you time and effort. You can head to the range or the field almost immediately after purchase, focusing on ethical shot placement rather than complex setup.
• Precision and Accuracy: Built on the legendary Savage Model 110 action, known for its inherent accuracy, this package ensures consistent shot placement thanks to features like thread-in headspacing, a floating bolt head, and a precision button-rifled barrel.
• Adaptability and Comfort: The easily adjustable length-of-pull allows the rifle to be customized to fit virtually any shooter, from youth to adults, accommodating varying body types and seasonal clothing. This ensures a comfortable and consistent shooting posture, crucial for accuracy.
• Compliance with Hunting Regulations: The .450 Bushmaster caliber is a popular and highly effective straight-wall cartridge, making this rifle an ideal choice for hunters in states where such cartridges are mandated for deer and other large game.

Key Features and How They Benefit You

The Savage Arms 110 Apex Hunter XP is loaded with features that contribute directly to its performance and user experience:

• Savage AccuTrigger: This user-adjustable trigger allows shooters to customize the pull weight without compromising safety. It provides a crisp, clean break, significantly enhancing accuracy by minimizing trigger pull errors. Imagine taking a shot knowing your trigger will respond precisely when you want it to, leading to more confident and accurate shots.
• Thread-in Headspacing: A hallmark of Savage rifles, this manufacturing process ensures precise alignment between the chamber and the bore. This meticulous attention to detail translates directly into superior accuracy and consistent bullet flight.
• Floating Bolt Head: This innovative design feature allows the bolt head to align perfectly with the cartridge case, providing uniform pressure on the cartridge rim. The result is improved primer ignition and enhanced accuracy, shot after shot.
• Precision Button-Rifled Barrel: The 22-inch barrel is crafted using a button-rifling process, which creates extremely consistent rifling grooves. This consistency is vital for stabilizing the bullet as it travels down the bore, ensuring maximum accuracy with the .450 Bushmaster cartridge. The 1:24" twist rate is optimized for the heavy, large-diameter bullets typical of this caliber.
• Muzzle Brake: Integrated directly onto the barrel, the muzzle brake significantly reduces felt recoil from the powerful .450 Bushmaster cartridge. This allows for faster follow-up shots, reduces shooter fatigue, and makes the rifle more comfortable to shoot, especially during extended range sessions or hunting trips.
• Adjustable Length-of-Pull: The rifle's synthetic stock features Savage's innovative adjustability system, allowing hunters to easily modify the length-of-pull (LOP). A properly fitted rifle enhances comfort, improves consistency in shouldering, and reduces the likelihood of flinching, all contributing to better accuracy in the field. The standard length of pull is 13.75 inches, but it can be adjusted to suit individual preferences.
• Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm Scope: This robust scope is a perfect pairing for the .450 Bushmaster.
  • Versatile Magnification (3-9x): Offers a wide range of magnification suitable for various hunting scenarios, from close-quarters brush hunting at 3x to more precise shots at moderate distances at 9x.
  • Dead-Hold BDC Reticle: This reticle is designed to help estimate bullet drop compensation at extended ranges, making it easier to place accurate shots without constant turret adjustments. It provides clear hold points for different distances, which is incredibly useful in the heat of the moment.
  • Clarity and Durability: Vortex optics are known for their clear, bright images and rugged construction. The Crossfire II series features fully multi-coated lenses for optimal light transmission and is O-ring sealed and nitrogen purged for waterproof and fogproof performance, ensuring reliable operation in all weather conditions.
  • Secure Mounting: The scope is securely mounted on a one-piece EGW 0 MOA rail, providing a stable and robust platform for the optic, ensuring it holds zero even under demanding conditions.

The Power of the .450 Bushmaster Caliber

The .450 Bushmaster is a straight-wall cartridge that has gained immense popularity in recent years, particularly in states that restrict the use of bottleneck cartridges for hunting. Its significant terminal energy makes it an outstanding choice for medium to large game, including:

• Deer Hunting: Widely considered an excellent deer cartridge, the .450 Bushmaster delivers tremendous knockdown power, often resulting in short blood trails and quick, humane harvests.
• Hog Hunting: Its ability to penetrate thick hide and heavy bone makes it highly effective against tough feral hogs.
• Black Bear Hunting: For hunters pursuing black bear at moderate ranges, the .450 Bushmaster provides ample power and bullet weight.

The cartridge performs optimally at ranges typically encountered in thick woods, dense brush, or agricultural fields where shots are often within 200 yards. The Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP with its 22-inch barrel and muzzle brake is perfectly configured to maximize the ballistic potential of the .450 Bushmaster.

Designed for the Hunter: Real-World Use Cases
