Why Choose the Savage 110 Tactical? Addressing Common Shooter Needs

Many shooters face challenges with off-the-shelf rifles concerning fit, trigger feel, and overall consistency. A rifle that doesn't fit properly can lead to discomfort, inconsistent cheek weld, and ultimately, less accurate shooting. Similarly, a poor trigger can hinder precision, making it difficult to execute clean, surprise breaks. The Savage 110 Tactical was conceived to eliminate these frustrations, offering a holistic solution that prioritizes shooter interface and inherent accuracy.

This rifle solves several fundamental problems for the modern marksman:

• Inconsistent Accuracy: By providing a rock-solid foundation and user-adjustable components, it minimizes variables that lead to missed shots.
• Poor Ergonomics: The AccuFit system ensures the rifle truly becomes an extension of the shooter, promoting natural point of aim and recoil management.
• Subpar Trigger Performance: The AccuTrigger delivers a crisp, predictable break, essential for precision shooting.
• Lack of Customization: Forget costly aftermarket modifications; many critical adjustments are built right in.
• Limited Caliber Performance: The 6.5 PRC offers superior ballistics for long-range engagements, surpassing many traditional hunting and target calibers.
• Suppressor Compatibility: The threaded muzzle is a crucial feature for those operating in noise-sensitive environments or seeking recoil reduction.

Core Technologies for Unrivaled Performance

The Savage Arms 110 Tactical's reputation for precision stems from its integration of Savage's signature proprietary technologies: AccuFit, AccuTrigger, and AccuStock. These systems work in concert to provide an unparalleled shooting experience.

The AccuFit System: Tailored Ergonomics for Every Shooter

One of the most significant innovations on the Savage 110 Tactical is the AccuFit system. This intuitive design allows tactical and competitive shooters to quickly and easily customize the rifle's length-of-pull and comb height. Why is this critical? Because a properly fitted rifle translates directly to improved consistency and enhanced shooting performance.

• Adjustable Length-of-Pull (12.75" to 13.75"): Whether you're a shooter with long arms, short arms, or are wearing bulky cold-weather gear, the ability to fine-tune the length-of-pull ensures proper stance and sight picture. This directly impacts recoil absorption and follow-through, leading to faster, more accurate subsequent shots.
• Adjustable Comb Height: Achieving a consistent cheek weld is paramount for scope alignment and preventing parallax errors. The interchangeable comb risers allow you to perfectly align your eye with your optic, regardless of your scope's ring height or personal anatomy. This not only enhances accuracy but also reduces neck strain during extended shooting sessions.

The AccuFit system ensures that the rifle becomes a natural extension of your body, promoting repeatable mounting, stable aiming, and efficient recoil management. This personalized fit is a hallmark of truly custom rifles, now available as a standard feature on the Savage 110 Tactical.

Precision at Your Fingertips: The User-Adjustable AccuTrigger

The Savage AccuTrigger revolutionized the firearms industry by offering a user-adjustable trigger with a clean, crisp pull, all while maintaining exceptional safety. For a precision rifle, the trigger is arguably the most critical interface between the shooter and the firearm. A heavy, gritty, or inconsistent trigger pull can negate all other efforts at achieving accuracy.

• User Adjustability: The AccuTrigger allows shooters to customize the pull weight to their exact preference, from a light, crisp break ideal for precision target shooting to a slightly heavier pull suitable for field use. This adaptability ensures optimal performance across diverse shooting scenarios.
• Crisp, Predictable Break: The design eliminates creep and overtravel, resulting in a remarkably clean break that surprises the shooter, preventing anticipation and flinching – two common culprits of inaccuracy.
• Integrated AccuRelease Safety Blade: This unique safety feature ensures that the rifle will not fire unless the blade within the trigger is intentionally depressed, providing an additional layer of security without compromising the light trigger pull.

The AccuTrigger gives shooters the confidence to execute perfect shots, knowing that the trigger will respond exactly as expected, shot after shot.

The Foundation of Accuracy: Savage AccuStock

Complementing the AccuFit and AccuTrigger is the groundbreaking AccuStock. This rigid, synthetic stock provides a proprietary aluminum bedding system that secures the action three-dimensionally along its entire length. Unlike traditional pillar bedding or simple V-blocks, the AccuStock creates a truly custom fit between the action and the stock.

• Three-Dimensional Bedding: The aluminum chassis firmly cradles the barreled action, eliminating any movement or stress points that could negatively impact accuracy. This unparalleled stability ensures that the barrel remains free-floated and that the rifle's harmonics are consistent, leading to tighter groups.
• Enhanced Rigidity and Consistency: By securing the action along its full length, the AccuStock prevents any shifts or vibrations that could occur during firing. This results in superior shot-to-shot consistency and the ability to maintain zero even under demanding conditions.
• Free-Floating Barrel: The design ensures that the heavy 24-inch barrel is completely free-floated, meaning it only touches the receiver. This prevents any pressure points from the stock that could affect barrel harmonics and shot placement.

The combination of the AccuFit for personalized fit, the AccuTrigger for precision control, and the AccuStock for rock-solid stability transforms the Savage 110 Tactical into a platform capable of custom-grade performance.

Deep Dive into the 6.5 PRC Caliber: Power and Precision for Modern Shooting

The Savage 110 Tactical's chambering in 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) is a deliberate choice, reflecting its orientation towards long-range performance. Developed by Hornady, the 6.5 PRC builds upon the success of the 6.5 Creedmoor but takes ballistic performance to the next level.

• What is 6.5 PRC? It's a short-action magnum cartridge designed for optimal performance with heavy-for-caliber 6.5mm projectiles. It utilizes a slightly larger case capacity and higher operating pressures than the 6.5 Creedmoor, resulting in significantly higher muzzle velocities.
• Ballistic Advantages:
  • Higher Velocity: Typically launching 140-grain bullets at speeds exceeding 2900 fps, the 6.5 PRC offers a flatter trajectory and less time of flight compared to many other cartridges, reducing the impact of wind drift.
  • Excellent Ballistic Coefficients (BC): The 6.5mm bullets used in the PRC are inherently sleek and aerodynamically efficient, maintaining velocity and energy over extended distances. This translates to less drop and less wind deflection.
  • Energy Retention: Due to its speed and bullet design, the 6.5 PRC retains significant energy at long ranges, making it an ethical choice for hunting larger game at distances where other calibers might fall short.
  • Manageable Recoil: Despite its magnum performance, the recoil impulse of the 6.5 PRC is surprisingly manageable, especially in a rifle weighing 8.87 lbs with an adjustable stock. This allows for quicker follow-up shots and extended shooting sessions without fatigue.

Ideal Applications for the 6.5 PRC:

• Long-Range Hunting: Perfect for deer, elk, and other medium-to-large game where extended shot distances are common. Its flat trajectory and energy make clean, ethical kills possible.
• Precision Rifle Series (PRS) and National Rifle League (NRL) Competitions: The 6.5 PRC is a dominant force in competitive precision shooting, favored for its ability to cut through wind, its consistent performance, and its accuracy potential.
• Extreme Long-Range (ELR) Target Shooting: For shooters looking to push the boundaries of accuracy at distances beyond 1000 yards, the 6.5 PRC offers a compelling combination of speed, precision, and relatively mild recoil.

The Savage 110 Tactical's 1:8" twist rate is perfectly matched to stabilize the heavy, high-BC 6.5mm bullets that unlock the full potential of the 6.5 PRC cartridge.

Key Features for Tactical and Competitive Advantage

Beyond its core technologies and potent caliber, the Savage 110 Tactical is equipped with a suite of features designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern shooting disciplines.

The 24" Heavy, Threaded Barrel

The rifle features a 24-inch heavy barrel, finished in a durable matte black. A heavy barrel offers several distinct advantages for precision shooting:

• Heat Dispersion: More material means better heat dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining accuracy during extended strings of fire. A hot barrel can warp and string shots; a heavy contour resists this effect.
• Rigidity: The increased thickness of a heavy barrel provides superior rigidity, minimizing barrel whip and vibrations during the shot, leading to greater consistency.
• Consistent Harmonics: A stiffer barrel tends to have more consistent harmonics, which translates directly to tighter groups on target.

The barrel is also **threaded (5/8"-24)**, making it "**suppressor-ready.**" This is a significant advantage for tactical users and those who prefer to shoot with a muzzle device. Attaching a suppressor significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle blast, while a muzzle brake can virtually eliminate recoil, allowing shooters to spot their own impacts through the scope. The 1:8" twist rate ensures optimal stabilization of a wide range of 6.5mm bullet weights.

Integrated Optics Ready Design: The One-Piece Scope Rail

To ensure a stable and repeatable optics mounting solution, the Savage 110 Tactical comes standard with a **one-piece Picatinny scope rail.** This integrated rail offers several benefits over traditional two-piece bases:

• Superior Rigidity: A single piece of steel or aluminum provides a more robust and less flexible platform for your optic, minimizing any potential for flex or shift under recoil or impact.
• Easy Scope Mounting: The Picatinny standard allows for straightforward attachment of a wide variety of scope rings and other accessories.
• Improved Zero Retention: A solid, continuous mounting surface helps maintain your scope's zero, even in harsh conditions or after significant handling.

This feature saves shooters the time and expense of purchasing and installing an aftermarket rail, ensuring the rifle is optics-ready right out of the box.

Reliable Feeding: The 7+1 Detachable Box Magazine

The Savage 110 Tactical is equipped with a 7-round detachable box magazine, providing a practical capacity for most tactical and competitive scenarios, plus one in the chamber for a total of 7+1.
