Savage Arms 110 Trail Hunter: Your Ultimate All-Weather Precision Hunting Rifle

For serious hunters who demand unwavering performance regardless of the elements, the Savage Arms 110 Trail Hunter chambered in 6.5 PRC stands out as a formidable and reliable partner. This isn't just another bolt-action rifle; it's a meticulously engineered tool designed to excel in the most challenging environments, ensuring you have the confidence to make the shot when it matters most. Whether you're tracking elk through a snowy mountain range, pursuing deer in a damp forest, or engaging in long-range precision shooting, the 110 Trail Hunter is built to deliver. It combines Savage's legendary accuracy with robust, weather-defying features, making it the ideal choice for dedicated outdoorsmen.

Designed for the Demanding Hunter: What Problems Does it Solve?

Many hunters face common frustrations in the field:

• Weather Vulnerability: Standard rifles can quickly succumb to corrosion or lose grip in wet, cold, or humid conditions. The 110 Trail Hunter addresses this directly with its advanced coatings and stock materials.
• Inconsistent Accuracy: Long shots in varied conditions require a rifle that maintains its precision. The rifle’s high-quality barrel, tunable trigger, and rigid platform contribute to exceptional shot consistency.
• Poor Handling: A rifle that feels unwieldy or provides an insecure grip can compromise safety and shot placement. The ergonomic Hogue Overmold stock offers superior control.
• Limited Versatility: Hunters often need a rifle capable of handling different game sizes and shooting distances. The 6.5 PRC caliber, combined with the rifle’s features, offers broad utility.

The Savage 110 Trail Hunter is specifically engineered to overcome these hurdles, providing a rifle that's as tenacious as the hunters who wield it.

Unrivaled Durability and Grip: The Hogue Overmold Advantage

At the core of the 110 Trail Hunter's all-weather readiness is its collaboration with Hogue, a renowned name in ergonomic firearm accessories. The rifle features a full-coverage Hogue Overmold stock in OD Green, providing an exceptional level of grip and comfort.

• Superior Hold in Any Condition: Unlike traditional synthetic or wood stocks that can become slippery when wet, cold, or muddy, the Hogue rubber overmold ensures a firm, non-slip grip. This is critical for safety and stability, allowing for confident handling and precise shooting, even with gloved hands or in adverse weather.
• Enhanced Ergonomics: The soft, tacky rubber material not only improves grip but also absorbs recoil and reduces felt vibration, contributing to a more comfortable shooting experience, especially during extended range sessions or hunting trips.
• Durability and Longevity: The Hogue stock is built to withstand the rigors of the outdoors, resisting scratches, dings, and the detrimental effects of moisture and temperature fluctuations. It’s a stock designed to take a beating and keep performing.

This partnership elevates the 110 Trail Hunter from a mere hunting rifle to a true all-terrain companion.

Ultimate Protection: Tungsten Gray Cerakote Barrel and Receiver

To further fortify the rifle against nature's harshest elements, Savage Arms has applied a Tungsten Gray Cerakote ceramic coating to both the barrel and receiver.

• Corrosion and Abrasion Resistance: Cerakote is an advanced polymer-ceramic composite coating known for its incredible durability. It provides superior resistance to corrosion, rust, and abrasion, outperforming traditional bluing or phosphate finishes by a significant margin. This means your rifle will maintain its integrity and appearance even after years of exposure to rain, snow, humidity, and rough handling.
• Chemical Resistance: The coating also offers excellent resistance to many chemicals, making cleaning and maintenance simpler without fear of damaging the finish.
• Reduced Glare: The matte Tungsten Gray finish reduces glare, which is beneficial for stealth in hunting situations and prevents reflections that could spook game.

This comprehensive protective coating ensures that the critical metal components of the 110 Trail Hunter are sealed from the worst mother nature can dish out, prolonging the rifle's lifespan and maintaining its performance.

The Power of Precision: Understanding the 6.5 PRC Caliber

The choice of 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) for the Savage 110 Trail Hunter is a strategic one, offering an ideal balance of speed, energy, and accuracy for a wide range of hunting scenarios and long-range shooting.

• Exceptional Ballistics: The 6.5 PRC is renowned for its high ballistic coefficient (BC) bullets, which exhibit superior aerodynamic efficiency. This translates to a flatter trajectory and less wind drift compared to many other hunting calibers, making it easier to hit targets at extended ranges.
• Effective on Medium to Large Game: With a muzzle velocity designed for optimal energy transfer, the 6.5 PRC delivers ample power for ethically taking down medium to large game animals such as deer, elk, antelope, and even moose, provided proper bullet selection and shot placement.
• Manageable Recoil: Despite its impressive performance, the 6.5 PRC offers more manageable recoil than larger magnum cartridges, allowing for quicker follow-up shots and more comfortable practice sessions, which is crucial for building proficiency.
• Long-Range Capability: For hunters who pursue game in open country or engage in ethical long-range hunting, the 6.5 PRC provides the performance necessary to consistently place shots accurately over hundreds of yards. The rifle’s 24-inch medium-heavy profile barrel with a 1:8" twist rate is perfectly optimized to stabilize the 6.5mm bullets, maximizing their ballistic potential.

Pinpoint Accuracy and Customization: AccuTrigger and Threaded Barrel

Savage Arms is celebrated for its commitment to accuracy, and two key features on the 110 Trail Hunter highlight this dedication: the Adjustable AccuTrigger and the threaded muzzle.

• The Revolutionary AccuTrigger: The Savage AccuTrigger is a game-changer for precision shooting. It allows users to adjust the trigger pull weight from 2.50 to 6 lbs safely and easily, without needing a gunsmith.
  • Crisp, Light Pull: Hunters can fine-tune the trigger to their preference, achieving a crisp, light break that minimizes trigger pull-induced movement and enhances accuracy.
  • Enhanced Safety: The AccuTrigger incorporates a unique AccuRelease blade, which prevents the rifle from firing unless the blade is depressed along with the main trigger, adding an important layer of safety while allowing for a lighter pull weight.
• Threaded Muzzle for Versatility: The 5/8"-24 threaded muzzle opens up a world of possibilities for the shooter.
  • Suppressor Ready: Easily attach a sound suppressor for reduced muzzle blast and recoil, making for a more comfortable and stealthy hunting experience, and protecting hearing.
  • Muzzle Brake Compatibility: Install a muzzle brake to further mitigate recoil, allowing for faster target reacquisition and less shooter fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
  • Improved Precision: The medium-heavy barrel profile contributes to improved accuracy by reducing barrel whip and heat-induced point-of-impact shifts during sustained firing.

Robust Action and Optics Ready: The Model 110 Platform and Weaver Base

The foundation of the 110 Trail Hunter is the legendary Savage Model 110 bolt-action receiver, known for its reliability and robust construction.

• Proven Reliability: The Model 110 action has been a workhorse for Savage for decades, trusted by hunters and target shooters alike for its consistent performance and durability in the field. Its smooth bolt operation ensures quick and reliable cycling of cartridges.
• Three-Position Safety: The rifle features a user-friendly three-position safety that allows the bolt to be operated for safe loading and unloading with the safety engaged, or fully locks the bolt for transport, providing an additional layer of security.
• Optics-Ready Weaver Base: The rifle comes equipped with a Weaver base pre-installed on the receiver. This allows for quick and easy mounting of a wide variety of scopes and other optical accessories, getting you ready for the field without additional trips to the gunsmith. This integrated feature streamlines the setup process, ensuring a secure and stable platform for your chosen optics.

Practical Considerations: Capacity, Weight, and Overall Length

Understanding the rifle’s practical dimensions and capacity is vital for hunters planning their setup and expeditions.

• Capacity: The 110 Trail Hunter features a 2+1 capacity, meaning it can hold two rounds in the detachable box magazine and one in the chamber. This provides ample firepower for most hunting scenarios while keeping the rifle sleek and manageable. The maximum capacity is 2 rounds in the magazine.
• Weight: Weighing in at 8.20 lbs, the rifle strikes a balance between portability and stability. This weight helps to absorb some of the recoil from the powerful 6.5 PRC cartridge, while still being manageable for carrying long distances in the field.
• Overall Length (OAL): With an OAL of 44.50 inches, the rifle offers a good balance for maneuverability in various environments, from dense brush to open plains.
