Description
The Savage 110 Apex Predator XP .243 Win 24in Bolt Action Rifle is a field-ready predator and varmint rig built for hunters who demand accuracy out of the box. Chambered in .243 Winchester, this model ships with a factory-mounted and bore-sighted Vortex Crossfire II 4-12×44 scope, so you’re set for coyotes, bobcats, and deer-sized game from the first trip to the range. The 24-inch fluted barrel cuts weight without sacrificing stiffness, and the user-adjustable AccuTrigger lets you dial in pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds. With a Mossy Oak Terra synthetic stock and adjustable length of pull, it fits a wide range of shooters. According to Savage Arms specs, the overall length is 44.5 inches and unloaded weight is approximately 9.9 pounds.

Key Features
- Factory-Mounted Vortex Crossfire II 4-12×44 Scope — Saves you time and money. The rings are pre-installed and the scope is bore-sighted, so you can be on target faster than piecing together a separate scope and mount.
- User-Adjustable AccuTrigger — Lets you set trigger pull between 2.5 and 6 pounds without a gunsmith. A crisp, consistent break helps you shoot tighter groups in the field.
- 24-Inch Fluted Barrel with Threaded Muzzle — The fluting reduces barrel weight and aids cooling during strings of fire. The threaded muzzle (includes thread protector) lets you attach a suppressor or brake for recoil management.
- Mossy Oak Terra Synthetic Stock with Adjustable Length of Pull — The camo pattern blends into dry grass, brush, and timber. The LOP adjusts from 12 to 14 inches, making it easy to fit a shooter wearing heavy winter gear or a lighter setup for warm-weather hunts.
- Detachable Box Magazine (4-Round Capacity) — Quick reloads and safe unloading. The magazine releases cleanly, so you can top off without fumbling in a blind or on a ridge.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who wants a complete package — no extra trips to the gunsmith or scope shopping. It’s ideal for coyote callers who need a flat-shooting .243 that can reach across a cut cornfield, and for whitetail hunters who want a lightweight, camo rifle that won’t break the bank. If you’re new to bolt-action rifles or looking to upgrade from a budget model, the Apex Predator XP gives you a proven action and a quality optic right out of the box.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The Vortex Crossfire II scope is a solid mid-range optic with good low-light performance. You won’t need to replace it for most predator and deer hunting.
- Pro: AccuTrigger is genuinely user-friendly — you can adjust it with a simple hex key and feel the difference at the bench.
- Con: At 9.9 pounds scoped, it’s on the heavy side for long mountain hikes. The fluted barrel helps, but if you’re covering miles of steep terrain, a lighter rig might serve you better.

FAQ
What is the effective range of this rifle with the included scope?
With the Vortex Crossfire II 4-12×44 and quality .243 Win ammunition, you can ethically take predators and deer out to 300–400 yards. The 24-inch barrel gives good velocity for the caliber, and the scope’s 12x magnification is plenty for those distances.
Does the stock really adjust for length of pull?
Yes. The synthetic stock includes spacers that let you adjust LOP from 12 to 14 inches. It’s a simple process — remove the buttpad, add or remove spacers, and reattach. This is a nice feature for shooters with shorter arms or for when you’re wearing bulky clothing.
Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?
Yes. The barrel is threaded (common 5/8×24 thread pattern) and comes with a thread protector. Just remove the protector and screw on your suppressor. Make sure your can is rated for .243 Win pressures.
How does the AccuTrigger work?
The AccuTrigger has a small blade inside the trigger shoe. You adjust pull weight using an included hex key — turn clockwise to increase weight, counterclockwise to decrease. The blade acts as a safety: the rifle won’t fire unless the blade is depressed, reducing the chance of an accidental discharge if dropped.
Is this a good rifle for a left-handed shooter?
This model is a right-handed bolt action. Savage does offer left-handed versions of the 110 platform, but the Apex Predator XP in .243 Win is typically right-handed. Check the specific SKU before ordering if you’re a lefty.
