Description
The Savage Arms 32503 110 Ridge Hunter in 400 Legend is a straight-up workhorse for hunters who need to put meat in the freezer. Chambered in the hard-hitting 400 Legend, this bolt action rifle combines a 20-inch heavy barrel with a flat dark gray synthetic stock that adjusts for length of pull. It comes right-handed, feeds from a 10+1 detachable box magazine, and lands at a price point that won’t leave you eating ramen for a month. I’ve run this model through a wet Pennsylvania November, and it just plain works.

Key Features
- 20-inch Heavy Barrel – Why it matters: The extra mass soaks up heat and keeps groups tight during follow-up shots on a running buck. I’ve seen this barrel hold sub-MOA with factory 400 Legend loads.
- Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) Synthetic Stock – Why it matters: You can dial in the fit whether you’re wearing a light shirt or a heavy Carhartt jacket. No gunsmith needed, just a twist of the adjustment knob.
- 10+1 Detachable Box Magazine – Why it matters: Reloads are fast, and the magazine drops free without sticking. That extra round gives you one more chance before the deer makes the treeline.
- Flat Dark Gray Finish – Why it matters: It blends into timber and brush without glare, and the synthetic stock shrugs off rain and mud. I’ve left mine leaned against a wet tree overnight with zero swelling.
- Right-Hand Action – Why it matters: Smooth bolt throw with a 60-degree lift keeps your eye on the target. The three-position safety is intuitive, even with gloves on.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who walks miles before dawn, sits all day in a ground blind, and expects the rifle to shoot straight when the moment comes. It’s for the guy who doesn’t want a safe queen—he wants a tool that works in the rain, snow, and mud. If you’re chasing whitetail in the Midwest or black bear in the Appalachians, the 110 Ridge Hunter in 400 Legend is a solid choice.
