Savage 110 Trail Hunter 6.5 PRC 24″ Threaded Bolt Rifle
About this product
The Savage 110 Trail Hunter 6.5 PRC 24″ Threaded Bolt Rifle is a purpose-built, long-range hunting platform designed for suppressed use and adverse weather. This bolt-action rifle integrates several modern features like a user-adjustable trigger and corrosion-resistant finishing into a package priced for serious hunters. Its chambering in 6.5 PRC provides flatter trajectories and higher retained energy at distance than older cartridges, making it an efficient choice for western hunting where shots often exceed 300 yards.
What is the Savage 110 Trail Hunter used for?
This rifle is primarily used for suppressed, long-range hunting of medium to large game in variable weather conditions. The 24-inch barrel and 6.5 PRC chambering optimize ballistics for shots between 200 and 600 yards, while the threaded muzzle and corrosion-resistant Cerakote finish directly support suppressor use. It's an ideal platform for hunters in open terrain like Montana or Wyoming who need a rifle that performs consistently from a wet alpine meadow to a dusty canyon.
How does the Savage 110 Trail Hunter compare to the Stevens 334?
The Trail Hunter is significantly better equipped for long-range, suppressed hunting than the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win. The Trail Hunter’s 24-inch barrel provides roughly 200 feet per second more muzzle velocity with 6.5 PRC ammunition compared to the Stevens 334’s 20-inch .308 barrel, extending effective range. Additionally, the Trail Hunter includes a threaded muzzle and corrosion-resistant Cerakote, features absent on the Stevens 334, making it the clear choice for hunters using muzzle devices or operating in wet environments.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 10.8 pounds with an empty magazine, and its overall length measures 44.5 inches from buttpad to muzzle. The 24-inch button-rifled barrel has a medium-heavy contour with a diameter of 0.75 inches at the muzzle, contributing to the weight but aiding in shot-to-shot consistency. This weight and length mean it handles more like a dedicated precision rifle than a lightweight mountain gun, a trade-off for its long-range stability.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for hunters who prioritize ultralight weight or who hunt exclusively in dense timber where shots are under 100 yards. At 10.8 pounds before optics and a suppressor, it’s over 3 pounds heavier than many dedicated mountain rifles, and its 24-inch barrel can be cumbersome in thick brush. If your hunting involves short-range, fast shots on running game in cover, a lighter, shorter-barreled option like a Stevens 334 in .243 Win would be more appropriate.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 2-round detachable box magazine and a set of two-piece Weaver-style scope bases. You will not find thread protectors, additional magazines, or sling swivels included in the box. This is a bare-essentials package—plan to budget immediately for optics, rings, a thread protector or muzzle device, and potentially a different stock if the Hogue overmold’s comb height doesn’t align with your preferred optic mount.
Is the Savage 110 Trail Hunter worth it at $567.99?
Yes, at $567.99, this rifle represents strong value for a hunter needing a threaded, long-range-capable action with a good factory trigger. You are paying for the Savare AccuTrigger system, the Cerakote finish, and the threaded, precision-rifted barrel—features that would cost hundreds more to add to a basic rifle. The primary compromise is the Hogue stock, which lacks a rigid bedding block; for sustained precision beyond 500 yards, many shooters will eventually spend $250-$400 on an aftermarket chassis or stock.

Pros & cons
What works
- AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from 1.5 to 4 pounds—outperforms most factory triggers under $800.
- Full Cerakote finish on barreled action provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing.
- 24-inch barrel with 1:8 twist rate stabilizes heavy 6.5 PRC bullets up to 156 grains effectively.
Trade-offs
- Hogue overmolded stock lacks an aluminum bedding block—flex can impact consistency beyond 500 yards.
- Weighs 10.8 pounds empty—over 3 pounds heavier than purpose-built mountain rifles like the Kimber Hunter.
- Includes only one 2-round magazine; additional magazines cost $45-$60 each and are often backordered.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threading compatible with a suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 thread pattern is the standard for .30 caliber suppressors and many 6.5mm-specific models. Always confirm thread concentricity with an alignment rod from a vendor like Silencer Central before mounting any suppressor. The 24-inch barrel length provides ample clearance for most reflex-style suppressors without interfering with the stock.
- Does it come with a thread protector?
- No, a thread protector is not included in the box. You must purchase one separately; a standard 5/8x24 steel protector from a brand like AAC or SilencerCo typically costs between $15 and $25. Leaving the threads exposed during transport or storage can lead to damage that prevents proper suppressor mounting.
- What scope base does it use?
- It includes two-piece Weaver-style bases, which are compatible with Weaver and some Picatinny rings. For optimal precision with high-magnification scopes, most shooters replace these with a single-piece Picatinny rail from EGW or Warne, which provides a more consistent mounting surface across the action's 8.75-inch length.
- Can I use AICS-pattern magazines?
- No, not without modification. The rifle uses Savage's proprietary detachable magazine system. Converting to accept AICS-pattern magazines requires purchasing a separate bottom metal kit from a company like Grayboe or MDT, which typically costs around $150 and involves fitting the stock inlet.
