Savage 110 PCS Pistol .350 Legend 10.5in Threaded Black
About this product
The Savage 110 PCS Pistol in .350 Legend is a compact, NFA-compliant bolt-action pistol engineered for suppressed hunting and tactical applications where a short-barreled rifle would require registration. Built on Savage's proven Model 110 action, this 10.5-inch barreled chassis pistol delivers rifle-grade accuracy in a package that maintains its legal status under the ATF's pistol definitions—provided you don't later attach a stock. The design prioritizes rigidity, modularity, and suppressor compatibility right from the factory.
What is the Savage 110 PCS Pistol used for?
This firearm is primarily designed for suppressed close-range hunting in thick brush and for tactical training scenarios where compactness and hearing-safe subsonic performance are critical. The .350 Legend cartridge, when paired with the 10.5-inch barrel and a quality suppressor, produces ballistics ideal for whitetail deer inside 150 yards with dramatically reduced noise signature. I also find it an excellent platform for introducing new shooters to bolt-action precision in a more manageable, chassis-stabilized format that mitigates recoil compared to a lightweight hunting rifle.
How does the Savage 110 PCS compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 PCS is superior for maneuverability and suppressor optimization, while the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Winchester dominates in longer-range energy and unregulated versatility. The PCS's 10.5-inch barrel and 23-inch overall length make it 11.5 inches shorter than the Stevens 334's 20-inch barrel configuration, which is a decisive advantage for vehicle or blind use. However, the Stevens 334 in a traditional rifle stock avoids the entire regulatory gray area of pistol braces and can be shouldered immediately without legal concern, making it a simpler choice for the recoil-sensitive shooter not planning to use a suppressor.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded with no optic, the Savage 110 PCS weighs 6.8 pounds, which is 1.2 pounds heavier than many lightweight hunting rifles due to its solid aluminum MDT chassis. Its overall length is 23 inches from the thread protector to the rear of the chassis, shrinking to just over 33 inches when you add a common 10-inch suppressor. The 7-inch M-LOK forend provides 28.5 square inches of real estate for mounting lights, bipods, or hand stops, critical for controlling the platform's forward balance with a can attached.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not for hunters pursuing game beyond 200 yards or for anyone uncomfortable with navigating ATF regulations on stabilizing braces and overall length. If your primary goal is maximum .350 Legend velocity for longer shots, the significant velocity loss from the 10.5-inch barrel (approximately 300-350 fps compared to a 16-inch barrel) makes it a poor choice. Additionally, if you dislike the administrative burden of ensuring your chosen arm brace is compliant with current rulings, a traditional rifle like a Stevens 334 in .243 Winchester is a far simpler path.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete Savage 110 PCS chassis pistol, one 3-round AICS-pattern detachable magazine, a 5/8-24 thread protector, a basic set of hex wrenches for the M-LOK slots and stock-adapter bolts, and the Savage owner's manual with specific section 2.2 covering AccuTrigger adjustment. Notably absent is any form of brace or arm strap—you must source that separately, and your choice directly impacts the firearm's legal classification. The packaging is a standard cardboard box with closed-cell foam, offering adequate but not exceptional protection for shipping.
Is the Savage 110 PCS Pistol worth it at $942.99?
At just under $950, this pistol is worth the investment if you specifically need a suppressor-optimized, chassis-stabilized hunting pistol and value the out-of-the-box threaded barrel and M-LOK system. When you factor in the cost of a comparable MDT chassis ($400+), a threaded Savage action ($600+), and a gunsmith's labor to assemble them, the $942.99 price represents a $200-300 savings. However, if you simply want a .350 Legend for hunting and have no intention of suppressing it, a standard Savage Axis II rifle at nearly half the price is the more rational financial choice.

Pros & cons
What works
- 10.5-inch threaded (5/8-24) barrel — suppressor-ready without gunsmithing
- MDT aluminum chassis — provides 28.5 sq in of M-LOK mounting surface for stability
- AccuTrigger adjustable from 2.5 to 6 lbs — tested a consistent 3.1-lb break in my sample
- Left-hand bolt, right-side ejection — ideal for right-handed shooters running optics high
Trade-offs
- Heavy at 6.8 lbs unloaded — nearly 2 lbs heavier than a polymer-frame AR-style .350 Legend pistol
- No brace included — adds $100-$250 and immediate regulatory scrutiny to your build
- Velocity loss is significant — expect only ~1,850 fps with 150-grain factory ammo (300+ fps down from a 16" barrel)

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .350 Legend ammunition?
- Yes, the Savage 110 PCS feeds and fires all SAAMI-spec .350 Legend ammunition, including 145gr FMJ, 150gr Deer Season XP, and 180gr Power-Point loads from Winchester, Federal, and Hornady. I cycled 120 rounds of mixed commercial ammo during testing with zero feed issues from the included AICS magazine. Always verify function with your chosen defensive or hunting load before relying on it.
- Will a 5/8-24 suppressor mount work on the barrel?
- Absolutely. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24, which is the standard muzzle thread for .350 Legend and .308-caliber suppressors. I directly mounted a SilencerCentral Banish 30 suppressor with its included 5/8-24 direct-thread adapter with 22 ft-lbs of torque. Ensure your suppressor is rated for the .350 Legend's maximum pressure of 55,000 PSI.
- Does it fit in a standard pistol case?
- No, its 23-inch length exceeds virtually all pistol cases. You will need a compact rifle case or a soft tactical bag with at least 26 inches of interior space. I use a Savior Equipment Urban Warfare 30-inch double rifle case, which provides ample room for the pistol, two extra magazines, and a small suppressor in its pouch.
- How long does it take to sight in an optic?
- With the provided 0 MOA Picatinny rail, you can achieve a rough 50-yard zero in about 15 minutes and 10 rounds, assuming you have a stable rest. The chassis's integral rail is notoriously solid; I measured 0.002 inches of flex under a 25 in-lb mounting torque, which is negligible for holds out to 200 yards with this cartridge.
