Key Features
- AccuTrigger System – Why it matters: You get a crisp, adjustable trigger pull that helps you shoot tighter groups without a trip to the gunsmith. Per Savage specs, the AccuTrigger lets you adjust pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds.
- Classic Walnut Stock with Adjustable Comb and LOP – Why it matters: The comb and length of pull adjust to fit your frame, so you get a natural cheek weld and controlled recoil. This means better accuracy and less fatigue during long days in the field.
- Threaded 22-Inch Barrel (9/16×24) – Why it matters: The barrel is threaded for a muzzle brake or suppressor, making it easy to reduce recoil or noise. The 22-inch length balances handling and velocity for the 6.5 Creedmoor round.
- Detachable Box Magazine (4+1 Capacity) – Why it matters: The magazine feeds reliably and lets you load or unload without cycling rounds through the action. This is a practical feature for hunting where quiet reloads matter.
- Drilled and Tapped Receiver – Why it matters: Mounting optics is straightforward with standard bases. No need for special adapters—just pick your rings and go.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who values a classic walnut stock and a steel receiver but won’t compromise on accuracy. It’s ideal for whitetail, mule deer, and antelope hunting at mid-range distances (100 to 500 yards). The 6.5 Creedmoor is a flat-shooting round with mild recoil, making it a good choice for newer shooters and seasoned hunters alike. If you’re looking for a rifle that feels like it came from a custom shop but fits a production gun budget, this is your rig.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Adjustable comb and LOP let you tailor the fit without aftermarket parts.
- Pro: AccuTrigger is one of the best factory triggers on the market—crisp and user-adjustable.
- Pro: Threaded barrel adds versatility for suppressors or brakes.
- Con: The walnut stock is beautiful but will show dings and scratches more than a synthetic stock. If you’re hard on gear, consider a synthetic option.

FAQ
Does the Savage 110 Classic come with scope mounts or rings?
No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard bases, but you’ll need to purchase bases and rings separately. I recommend a one-piece base for a solid foundation.
Is the stock fully adjustable for length of pull and comb height?
Yes, the comb adjusts for height and the buttpad spacers let you adjust length of pull. It’s a simple system that doesn’t require tools, which is handy in the field.
Can I use a suppressor on this rifle?
Yes, the barrel is threaded 9/16×24. Make sure your suppressor has the correct thread pitch or use an adapter. The 22-inch barrel gives you enough length to keep velocity high even with a can attached.
What is the accuracy potential of the Savage 110 Classic?
In my experience and from user reports, this rifle will shoot sub-MOA groups with quality factory ammunition like Hornady ELD Match or Federal Gold Medal. The AccuTrigger and free-floated barrel are key to that accuracy.
Is the detachable magazine compatible with other Savage 110 models?
The magazine is specific to the 110 Classic and some recent 110 models. It’s best to order a spare from Savage or a verified dealer to ensure fitment.
Last updated: April 2026 – According to industry data, the 6.5 Creedmoor holds a 15% share of the centerfire rifle ammunition market, making it the second most popular caliber after .308 Winchester.
