Savage 110 Core Hunter

Savage 110 Core Hunter

Built as a versatile core hunting rifle, the 110 Core Hunter pairs modern ergonomics with rugged performance: a Flat Dark Gray stock with AccuFit V2, showcasing toolless LOP and comb adjustments plus interchangeable grip modules and M-Lok® panels lets you tailor fit and accessory layout on the fly, while a Black Ink Cerakoted barreled action and jeweled bolt body with a threaded bolt handle provide corrosion resistance and silky operation.

The user-adjustable AccuTrigger delivers predictable, tunable breaks; 16.5–22″ carbon steel barrels in a heavy sporter contour with straight fluting keep weight forward for steady tracking while remaining caliber-flexible in size. A threaded muzzle, one-piece 0 MOA rail for optics, and detachable box magazine make the rifle ready for any setup, and the option of many calibers in left-hand configuration ensures equal performance for southpaw shooters.
