Savage 110 Core Predator 6.5 Creedmoor 22″ Fluted Barrel
About this product
The Savage 110 Core Predator is a full-size bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22-inch fluted barrel designed for precision long-range shooting and predator hunting. It features Savage's AccuStock and AccuFit V2 system for enhanced stability and adjustability, along with modern mounting solutions like an integral ARCA rail and M-LOK panels. This rifle balances velocity, weight, and modularity for field use where shot consistency and accessory compatibility matter.
What is the Savage 110 Core Predator used for?
The Savage 110 Core Predator is built for precision long-range target shooting and predator hunting applications where wind drift and energy retention are critical. Its 22-inch fluted barrel and 1:8" twist rate stabilize bullets up to 140 grains effectively, making it ideal for engagements beyond 600 yards. The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or brakes, and the AICS magazine ensures reliable feeding in varied positions.
How does the Savage 110 Core Predator compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The Savage 110 Core Predator outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in long-range ballistic efficiency and customization, though the Stevens is more affordable and simpler. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge has less drop and wind drift than .308 Win at distance, and the Savage's AccuFit system allows precise stock adjustment versus the fixed synthetic stock on the Stevens. For shooters prioritizing reach and adjustability, the Savage is superior; for budget-conscious hunters in thicker cover, the Stevens suffices.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 8.9 pounds (4037 grams) unloaded, with an overall length of 42.5 inches and barrel length of 22 inches. The medium-heavy fluted barrel profile reduces weight by approximately 12 ounces compared to a non-fluted equivalent while maintaining rigidity. This balance supports stable off-hand shooting without excessive fatigue during extended stalks.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for beginners or those seeking a lightweight mountain rifle for steep terrain packing. The 8.9-pound weight and 42.5-inch length make it cumbersome for tight blinds or all-day carries in rough country. Additionally, the 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition costs roughly $1.80 per round for quality match loads, which may deter high-volume plinkers or those on a tight budget.
What's in the box?
The box includes the rifle with installed AccuStock and AccuFit V2 system, one 10-round AICS-pattern detachable magazine, and a threaded muzzle protector. No optic, mounts, or tools for adjustment are provided, so budget for a quality scope and hex keys. The Cerakote finish is applied at the factory, requiring no additional protective steps out of the box.
Is the Savage 110 Core Predator worth it at $961.99?
At $961.99, the Savage 110 Core Predator offers strong value for shooters needing long-range precision and modularity without custom gunsmithing. The AccuFit system alone saves $200-$300 over aftermarket stock adjustments, and the fluted barrel enhances performance without the cost of a carbon fiber upgrade. Compared to competitors like the Stevens 555 Sporting shotgun series, this rifle delivers specialized accuracy for the price, justifying the investment for serious hunters and target shooters.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AICS magazines?
- Yes, it uses AICS-pattern detachable magazines for reliable feeding. The included magazine holds 10 rounds, and aftermarket options from brands like Magpul or Accuracy International function identically. Ensure magazines are for short-action calibers to avoid compatibility issues.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, it fits most 44-inch or longer rifle cases due to its 42.5-inch overall length. For hard cases, internal dimensions should exceed 43 inches to accommodate scope clearance. I recommend Plano All-Weather cases for field transport.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-7 business days for in-stock items, depending on your location and carrier. FFL processing adds 1-2 days for background checks. Contact your local FFL dealer beforehand to streamline transfer timing.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused, unfired items in original packaging. Fired firearms cannot be returned due to ATF regulations. Inspect the rifle upon receipt and test fit accessories before shooting to avoid issues.
