Savage 110 Tactical: The Best Option for Beginners
Savage Arms has build a reputation for have accurate rifles even in their most accurate rifles such as the Savage Axis 2. the Savage 110 Tactical being the Axis' big brother is no exception to that rule.
the Savage 110 tactical is likely the best suited rifle for beginners or as a first option to precision rifle shooting who want a rifle they can grow with and an action they can build on.
Why the 110 tactical and not the 110?
-Accutrigger: all Savages have an Accutrigger, the ones on the 110's are miles ahead of the savage axis 2 Accutriggers
-Extended/ oversized bolt knob (makes cycling the action easier more leverage for extraction and a lighter bolt lift
-Medium profile 24" fluted button riffled barrel. Button riffling is the easiest way to cut the lands in the barrels riffling but they are not usually the most accurate, savage has gotten that right!
-Takes AICS Magazines!
-the Stock: the stock has a variety of features that makes it great. changeable comb/lenght of pull, aluminum chassis embeded in the stock ensuring you are getting the most accuracy out of that barreled action.
The optic we were using is the
IOR Raider 3-25x56, this optic is impressive, While it being a "top tier" optic makes you expect excellent glass and lots of internal adjustment, it won't prepare you for this level, this optic has 40 MILS (or roughly 140moa) of internal adjustment (no that's not a typo) and the widest field of view you will likely ever see on a optic with this magnification range (and amazing glass), If you are looking to pick one up take at

Im almost 70 yrs old, the most accurate rifle ive ever owned, was bought at a walmart yrs ago for @ 250 $ , 30,06 awsome nail driver !!!
Savage has to be one of the MOST underrated mass produced rifles out there.
@Rattletrap1970…Truer words have never been “typed”…and Savage has always been so 👍👍👍
I agree. I have several. .22lr to 6.5cm. Best bang for the buck.
I know back in the 60 70 and 80s they were one of the best
I got this rifle for some time now but chambered in 308, 20" barrel and it's a constant sub MOA. It is a shooter
Not really. The long action is pretty smooth. I haven't experienced any feeding or ejecting problems. The mag seems kinda loose in the magwell but that's just my impression.
I have no idea why more people do not see/view/watch your content. I love your channel!
Savage really put together a great rifle with this setup. The best part of this is how much it pushes an already competitive part of the market
Fabulous video and rifle workout.Just what I was looking for, the facts and only the facts. The footage was a well appreciated extra as well as the aftermarket availables. This rifle is just the price range I want too be in after 6 years of absence due to plain old range burnout.This will be my first Savage after decades of Remingtons.I'm just not ready too pay $1800 for an Alpha 1 till it's been out for awhile, especially with the market offering some really fantastic firearms.I'll be picking the 110 up tomorrow after work.👏👍
I've tried all different kinds of bullets reloading and the ones I've always had fantastic results with have been nosler ballistic tips. Hands down
Bought mine in 6.5PRC around 8 months ago. Shooting both Norma 147 grain and hornady precision Hunter and precision target all well sub MOA. Put a muzzle brake on it and the felt recoil is Similar to that of an M-16 . Heavy gun, little recoil. Love everything about it but the angle of the hand grip, wish it was more vertical. Main point: extremely accurate and excellent price!
I took inspiration from your Tikka .223 build and did a Savage varmint build and put it in a oryx chassis with a Arken 5-25 scope. This rifle makes it EASY to shoot out to 300-500 yards. I need to find somewhere I can push it to its limits. It’s a lot more fun and cheaper to shoot than my AR.
I have the Savage 110 hog hunter 308, bought used and it's a tack driver. This is probably my next rifle, or the precision. My biggest gripe on the hog hunter is the 4 shot internal magazine, but $300 slightly used that shoots my hand loads at 1/2 moa I can't complain.
You really need to check out the CZ 600 Alpha Black. I got mine in 6.5 PRC for under $750 US (that's with tax, shipping, and transfer fee) and have it topped with an Arken EP5 5-25X56. I easily get sub MOA with the four different factory loads I've tried and often print these little 3 leaf clover groups with the Hornady 143 gr ELD-X Precision Hunter.
The factory EGW branded 20MOA rail often comes loose after brief use. Will need to retighten to correct torque spec with blue loctite. I had to use Epoxy bedding for a good fit
I have the same rifle. I did had a GRS BiFrost stock that is amazing and will solve that grip issue and complete stock adjustability. Also this has been my precision rifle and also my hunting rifle. With custom reloads sub MOA groups are easy.
yep thats the route im thinking of going in, with one of the GRS stocks
I’m getting this rifle! I was thinking on Remington SPS Tactical but this is it.
I won a .308 from our Deer Club dinner/fund raiser. Would of preferred a 6.5 but it is what it is. That bugger shot 3 different factory rounds under a inch with one group 3 rounds touching. Savage builds some darn accurate rifles. Can you get a lemon, well yes you can but they are rare
Very nice review, i love Savage trigger, have one🌴
I purchased a Savage 10 FCP-SR in 6.5 CM six years ago that is somewhat similar to this one, but using the Savage 10RD magazine and a different stock. It almost never ejects the empty brass no matter what I do when I cycle the bolt. Otherwise, I am pleased with it.
Just google Savage enhanced extractor kit. About $27 in the states. There are several to choose from and most are the same or similar
I have one in left hand. Bought for my son two years ago. He moved out of country, Japan. So he said sell it, so I took it to the range and shot it with 143 Norma Golden Target and Hornady 147 ELDX. It was a joke in 6.5 CR, it was to easy my 300-500 yard groups were -1"-2.5". The Norma golden target was the prefered cartridge hitting 4 out of five shots on a 1" metal round plate/swinger @ 500 yards. My range buddies, were who's hitting the one inch, I said, "me with a lefty 6.5 CR, a Whiskey 3 12x scope and the Norma Golden Target plinking ammo". That's how accurate this system is, it's no joke!
It's a shame to sell it, I'm right handed and I know lefty rifles don't sell well.
I have a savage Axis II Veil .223 1:8 twist, 22" BBL ($327) which loves Sig Sauer 77 gr and I will bang that 1" plate @ 500 2-3 times out of 5 shots @ 500 yards on a calm day. I am impressed with Savage rifles cost vs accuracy, just impressive precision capability from their stocks and barrels. My Ruger Ranch in 5.56 is just as accurate using Sig 5.56 77 gr and Barnes 85 gr. Factory ammo has come a long way! Ball ammo has been made irrelevant in rifles, just do away with it and bring boat tail cost down:).
Iv owned 5 different savage rifles over the span of a decade or so and still own 3 of them. Sold 2 for no particular reason. The 3 I still have shoot sub MOA all day long and all function flawlessly. I don’t have any expensive rifles per say but they are right up there with the 2 tikkas I own. Savage man for life! Cheers from Canada eh 🍻🇨🇦🤘
I actually like the accustock. I have one on a custom 260 Remington and comparing it to several other hunting style stocks it has more material cutout at the thumb position making the grip much more comfortable for prone shooting then most other hunting style stocks. That was no coincidence on savages part. Combine that with the full aluminum pillar bedding, adjustable comb and pull length and that is a lot of bang for the buck. And its far more practical for hunting than a chassis.
I have the same fitted with the "el cheapo" Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN2 6-24X50 FFP and a GAMMA 65 MUZZLE BRAKE. I'm constantly sub moa at distance, especially with Hornady 143 ELD. I did change the extractor though. It was getting stuck with the factory one.
Very well done video. Appreciate. No babbling about other crap and wasting viewers time insulting them for having clicked to watch someone yak about crap instead of getting to the point.
lol thanks Mike, although tipically people do that to help monetise their channel, promoting products that dont compromise the integrity of the review. the day that is start doing promos for raid shadow legends i'll unsubscribe to myself!
@@EpikArms That gave me a chuckle and needs one with living in a zoo and the animals running it.
Awesome video and thanks for sharing
Do you have the other video upgrading to the MDT chassis??
Had one. Sold it. Got about the same accuracy out of it even with decent reloads.
Trigger was starting to wear after 600 rounds.
Bolt isn’t the smoothest.
A more vertical grip would be more ergonomic.
Make sure to loctite all the screws. Including the action screws.
Overall good budget option but don’t expect to beat custom rigs in competition.
Im a big fan of the Savage 110’s.
I just cant find any complaints for the price.
Excellent video. I bought a scope based on your review and have been very happy with it.
I have a 110 ultralight that I put in an oryx chassis but wonder about accuracy and longevity of that proof carbon fiber wrapped barrel.
Do you know about that one and/or Could you please do a review please?
Hey man, great review, savages are reliable as heck when it comes to their performance, would you consider trying a sabatti at some point? I'm thinking about an urban sniper in 6,5cm. Dumb name yeah.. but it sounds like a good gun on paper. Anyway keep it up mate!
Another Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
amazing review. You adding in the different vendors that have stuff for this as well as real world shooting at your farm is excellent... subbed and shared
you sold me the rifle ,,, been wanted my 1st 308 ruger or savage , you sold me on the savage great video
Glad to hear! Savage makes great rifles
I have the Savage 10 HS precision in .308 and it's a tack driver.
I have to agree, I really enjoy my savage 110 tactical 6mm arc. I want to get the desert tactical 6mm creedmoor.
I would say it’s comparable to the tikka t3x varmint, better stock but not as smooth of action.
yep i agree on that! and 6mm Creedmoor is such an amazing caliber
I have this in .300 win mag. Its easy out to 700 yards. 1000 you need good ammo but it'll hit aam size target no problem. My only gripe is the box mag falls out sometimes. Sometimes it's hard to feed rounds.
Is the cataloged weight accurate? Thanks for the great video!
What height scope rings would you recommend on this rifle for an Arken 34mm scope? I have the scope ring height option of .92in, 1.26in, and 1.45 inch. Thanks!
Nice.
I don't even need to buy anymore rifles. But I still love watching your videos. Just give me a shot at 740m with my rifle haha.
thanks man! love hearing that!
Would you get this a tikka or a gen2 ruger american?
I have this rifle. Haven’t dialed it in yet, but so far really enjoying it. Great bang for the buck.
Have you used the rifle? Need info
@@josephmeiguoren2211 Google it like the rest of us
With reloads I can very often get sub moa 5 shot groups. I have also had many sub .75 moa groups with mine. I have now added a magneto speed to my kit so I should have a really constant load found this summer.
To add: I heard about extractor issues; I experienced them after ~1500 rounds. There is an aftermarket extractor upgrade kit for about $35 cad and that seems to have solved my issue.
$35 CDN extractor kit? Details or link please!
@@RS-dc7wy Just google Savage enhanced extractor kit. About $27 in the states. There are several to choose from and most are the same
I just got one of thease last night and shot it today I got the 20” .308 just for a hunting rifle but honestly it shoots extremely good with factory ammo I shot a .80” group and one of my hand loads I tried I shot .50” at 100 I’m very impressed however if you get it make sure you pull the scope base and clean and lock tight it. Mine came loose the second round and I had todo what I failed todo at the range so just take the time before you go to the range and remove the base lock tight it and torque it properly. I give this rifle 10/10 next week I’m taking it to 1000 yards
try reloading those 155 gun nosler custom competition bulletss; I know everyone else goes in for those 175 grain SMK but these noshers cut through the air so much better, and the recoil is less along with the flight times being boosted faster and hitting the target much quicker as a result. You can safely load it to 3000 fps and get out to a thousand faster with these!
I own this rifle and I can easily hit a 10in plate at 500 yards easily.. but the scope I have has a 1500 yard reach.. under the right conditions I can consistently hit that same plate at 1000 yards!! But I am loading my own rounds. But the nosler round is the best for long range if you don’t load.
Perfect mention of checking rail mounting and adding loctite. Checked torque when I first set mine up, installed scope and went to zero/break in. Rail ended up loose after about 10rds and really frustrated my day.
Clean the holes out good when you get one. There's still oil in em
@@hammer2596 oh yeah! Good point.
I absolutely love this rifle. I replaced the stock with the MDT XRS Chassis, and it feels so much better. I shoot the Norma Golden Match 143gr, and it consistently hits sub MOA. Normally it's only just over $1/rd. It hits 1000yrds easily, and consistently.
What kind of scope do you use?
I have a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50.
I have this rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor.
@@JohnDoe-je4hpI just bought one in 6.5 aswell. Don’t have a scope for it yet. But all the reviews seem to be really good on it.
I don't suggest cheaping out on the scope. Get something good quality. You can really tell the difference between a cheap scope and a quality scope when shooting at long ranges. I highly recommend exposed turrets, and one with a zero stop for the elevation.
What’s the over all length of the 20” and 24” 6.5cm?
What rings are those?
Is a bull barrel or a fluted barrel better for precision shooting in 6.5cm?
I just picked up one of these in .308, used, very good condition, with a Vortex 6.5-20x44 (~$480 scope) for just $680, just waiting for it to show up at my local FFL right now. Can't wait!
On sale at cabelas canada today, but only in 6.5 PRC is available
Would that rifle in 308 fit a magpul stock?
I was all set to buy a Savage Tact 308 then read two recent reviews on Buds Gun Shop. The buyers wrote that Buds was great but one had a problem with the rail the other noted that the action was stiff and a problem with ejection of a round. Their dates of purchase were Dec 2022 and January 2023. Any recent purchasers out there?
mine was purchased like in late 2022
Thinking about getting one of these but I’m wondering about the longevity of the barrel?
Any body have experience?
I have this rifle 6.5 PRC very accurate
The Woox furiosa fits well, however it doesn't have center metal that takes the AICS mags. It only takes the overpriced, undercapacity Savage mags.
I've spoken to them, and they were supposed to have AICS capability like a year and a half ago but it didn't come out. I keep looking once in a while but they hadn't released it as of my last check.
Kind of want to buy one of these for deer hunting, would anyone recommend it for hunting?
I'd really appreciate a review of this in 6mm ARC
This rifle has it all, including the typical savage ejection issues lmao. Well at least you showed it once.
Lol it happened a good few times lol
I have several Savage rifles and I'm planning on buying one more next year in 7mm PRC. They say a dollar per yard and it holds true! If you put a muzzle brake on that rifle it will bring those groups closer.
Great review, I have one of these in a XRS chassis and with the right ammo will shoot 1/2 MOA
I wouldn't say budget.the budget ones work like a name brand guns.good job savage
The thing I didn't like on the stock is that with a comb height that worked for me I had to disassemble the stock to bore sight my scope and I still didn't like the cheek weld. I replaced it with an MDT LSS and never looked back.
oh your totally right i forgot to mention that in my video,
I got the 308 version it shoots way lass then 1 moa but the action is broke
It’s basically the s220 slug gun in rifle caliber. And that 20 gauge slug gun is accurate AF..
I just started shooting long range and picked up S-110 Tac in 6.5 as well but what I’m having trouble with is the ring height for my scope. It’s a 30mm vortex scope. Should I go cw, low, or mid height. Please any help will be appreciated.
for a 30mm tube it will either be medium or high
Great rifle but accutriggers are extremely prone to malfunction, I have a few Savage weapons, I’ve put Timney triggers in each one, far more reliable and predictable
Just wondering if you can share the link to this awesome shooting range with such distances for shooting? Or maybe you can advise some good outdoor shooting ranges around Toronto( +\-1-2 hours of drive is ok) with at least 300m lanes available? Will really appreciate it!
P.S. Happy Savage 110T in .308Win owner here. 🤗 Thanks for the review of this sibling!
hey Krukhlis, i dont shoot on a range per say. i have permission from a farmer to shoot on his property. Id recommend going into your are code +farming on facebook thats how i originally found this place so 613 farming and write a post. best of luck. thanks for watching!
Great stuff brother.👍👍
I wouldn't think 1.25' was a good/accurate group but I still wonder what Savage would you recommend buying from their huge line up for a precision rifle or HMR type rifle, since you've probably shot most of them and they have a few. Is the Access Precision as good as the 110 and others??? Or should a guy try to build a precision rig like the JC rig you just did a video about, on a budget?
Start by taking savage off your list and get anything in a rem 700 footprint
Why not just get a bergara that will shoot 3x better for the same money
can can get rather close to a custom rigs precision with a factory rifle. although a custom rig on its worst day will outperform a factory rifle on its best, so even if the 4000$ expence is high it will hold a tighter group much more consistantly than a factory rifle and weill perform better with a variety of load. now that said between the axis 2 precision and the 110 tactical id go with the one with the better action; the 110 tactical its a action you can realy build of of down the road, alternatively consider a tikka t3x varmint (even better option) or a bergara like Ernestpower recommended.
IOR: index of refraction. Cool name
i have this rifle and it shoots great from the bench, but in my opinion its almost too long and heavy to be enjoyable to carry as a deer hunting rifle. at least not an ideal length and weight. I originally bought it just before the ammo shortage and thought it would be a good dual purpose hunting and target shooting rifle. Im wondering if it would be a better option to have the barrel shortened to 16 inches, buy a new barrel(and possibly ,or not, convert to 308 at the same time), or just sell it and move on to something else. Right now ive got probably less than 2 boxes of ammo through it and its in mint condition. If I start modifying it im afraid ill never get that money back out of it if i end up not being happy with it. Opinions?
@@southern842 i already have a ruger american compact in 308 with a 1-4x24 scope on it that works great for deer hunting, other than the magazines im not happy with and the flimsy stock isnt all that great either, but it does work great for its intended purpose. originally with the savage i was hoping to get something i could shoot more at the range so id be better practiced with it when it came time to hunt. i recently tried it again for a hog hunt and it wasnt as bad as i remember, but i really think a shorter barrel would be a good upgrade on these savages for anyone that isnt hunting or shooting super long range
If they made it in 223 with a 7 or 8 twist I would buy it today.
not sure if button rifling would be my go-to precision rifle but for cost and to play might be ok
Yep I don't know if there are any at this price that do single point cut.
168gr sierra match is the round for my 110 tactical in 308
savage #1
I have one of these in 6.5 Creedmoor left handed. I found out back in early 2020 that it shoots S&B 140 GR FMJ about 1 MOA, sometimes under if I do my part. I was then able to stock up on it (1,000 rds) when it was $11 a box…. 😁. Now it’s not….
I just found out that it shoots Norma Whitetail 140 GR SPs at .5 MOA… I was shooting at 100 yds and I didn’t quite believe that I had 5 shots in pretty much one hole until I walked up there.
Man I wish they had a 308 20” version in left handed…. COME ON!!!! 😡 I would absolutely pick one of those up in a heartbeat.
Great video!
thanks Rotcman!
My NightForce only has about 35 mil or 120 MOA of adjustment and my Tangent Theta only has 30 mrad/mil. That is some amazing amount of adjustment but that is a big tube. IOR Valdada is an awesome scope but it shows 32 mil not 40 mil of adjustment
Yeah there's 2 of these models one is the gen1 and this one is the gen2 from what I understand.
Great Video! Seeking help I'm trying to buy a magazine like the one you have on your video I have a Savage 110 switchback bolt action rifle 300 win mag. any help with a link thank you!
Reach out to MDT, they should hook you up
In my opinion you didn't give the accu fit stock enough credit. For a budget rifle it's the best on the market even including more expensive rifles like the Tika rifle you mentioned
For a little more I think I’d go with Savage Axis ii precision with MDT stock.
generally you are better off starting with a better action.
@@EpikArms From what I can recall you shot better with the Axis II Precision 😂
good rifle, even better in amdt chassis
That might be what I end up doing with this rifle
@@EpikArms mines done now on the xrs shoots like a champion
Do they make flush 4-5 round mags for deer hunting?
yes some companies do, look up 5 rounds AICS magazine (not sure they are flush)
What camera do you use to zoom in on your targets?
this is the Nikon P1000. its really amazing for this!
Big fan of the rifle! Question for you what tripod are you shooting off of?
I am planning to get this (or the Bergara) in 300 win mag. Problem is ammo availability and pricing - not much out there, let alone reasonable if found.
This or the b14 hmr, go with the hmr. Better overall rifle. Although more expensive
@@EpikArms yes I was eyeing up the B14 HMR, which was unavailable until recently. The ammo is the issue - 190gr target high BC loads are extremely hard to locate, when you do its $4 a round or more, no thanks.

Would this rifle be better than the Remington SPS Tactical in .308?
great question! in short the rem700 i found to be slightly more accurate, but the saveg has just so much more to offer at the price , here is the full answer to your question:
ua-cam.com/video/Ds846xpWz_w/v-deo.html
@@EpikArms tough choice! I agree. The Savage 110 seems like a better deal!
Why shoot 4 shots with the hornady 120 Gr match and 3 with other ammo’s
usually when the 3 first shots are pretty tight i will do a 4rth, and if its still pretty tight ill thow some more until it ruins the group
Saw one in a pawn shop today for $600 with no optic, passed on it, but the idea has sunk its teeth in lol
Subbed
I would like to see a flush magazine for hunting.
you can get 5 round aics magazines that stick out way less for hunting
Would love to buy one just scared to buy anything here in Canada until we see what will happen with the new proposed gun laws.
unlikely that he will ban precision rifles.... at least for another while. it already looks like c21 is loosing its steam
@@EpikArms I hope it results in a vote of non-confidence!
Light enough to hunt with?
Lol if your not walking over 1000 yards I'd say it's just fine
Ah the old savage ejection issue… paying $2k Aussie dollar I’d be gutted/fuming.
Jumping on and off the trigger there old mate with ya grouping tests ☺️
lol those were edited together. no ay people want to sit and watch 3 minutes per brand of ammo haha!. thanks for watching!
@@EpikArms need to get you’re hands on the new Arken bro and do ya review
142 Sierra bullet over RL17. 2.810" OAL.

I should try sierras. It's just I have hornady distributors nearvy
Savage makes cheap good stuff.
How big are the targets?
The giant squares are 2'x2'
@@EpikArms 👌
The accuracy seems horrible. I know it is a budget rifle but those groups are not good compared to other budget guns in the same bracket. The Ruger American is just one example.
I have three savage rifles and I am not that impressed with them. They are nothing horrible but they are not something great either. Fussy with ammo. And kind of clunky when operated. I'm my opinion the Tikka t3x is leeps and bounds ahead of the savage rifle. Just sucks the Tikka Is a little more expensive. But I guess you getore so.
Why is Savage the only manufacturer making affordable rifles that aren't junk?
Many of my rifles are heirlooms that were normal 'out of the box' guns that still shoot straight, with no barrel break in, no fancy ammo ect.
Likely due to small profit margins, at 650 usd or 1000 cad
Still a great pump gun even though it is mostly plastic, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxh4su9YgU1tWmjikirWcKJbjsFLEU62Bc but with care it will last a long time. It would be neat if Crosman would make a commemorative version of this with real wood stock, but of course it would weigh more and cost more, but hey, it would be cool. The included scope is more of a toy, but it does work for backyard plinking. I prefer to use pellets for greater accuracy, but BBs are just as good for plinking. This is not a Red Ryder folks; fully pumped it is 3 times the power of a Red Ryder and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Be safe out there.
Buy a ruger american for 300 bucks and it will shoot .5 moa
The gun sucks but it shoots
Never owned a 6.5 that wasn't sub .5 moa
That safety feature kills that trigger, nothing compared to a Biathlon rifle.
