Savage 110 Ridge Hunter .308 Win 18 in LH 10+1
Pros & cons
What works
- Left-hand configuration — eliminates the ergonomic disadvantage for southpaw shooters in rapid bolt manipulation.
- User-adjustable AccuTrigger — tunable from 2.5 to 6 pounds of pull weight without a gunsmith.
- AICS-pattern magazine compatibility — accepts widely available 5 and 10-round magazines from multiple manufacturers.
- Threaded 18-inch heavy barrel — ready for muzzle devices with a standard 5/8x24 thread pitch.
Trade-offs
- Heavy for its size — 8.10 lbs is substantial for an 18-inch rifle, largely due to the barrel contour.
- Basic synthetic stock — lacks the textured grip panels or adjustable cheek riser found on chassis systems.
- Limited aftermarket for left-hand actions — many stock and chassis options are right-hand only.

About this product
What is the Savage 110 Ridge Hunter .308 Win 18 in LH 10+1? It's a left-handed, compact hunting rifle with premium features normally found on more expensive actions, including a user-adjustable trigger, a threaded heavy barrel, and AICS-pattern detachable magazine compatibility. This .308 Win configuration is specifically designed for tactical hunters and shooters operating in dense cover who require rapid follow-up shots without sacrificing long-action reliability or modern aftermarket support.
What is the Savage 110 Ridge Hunter .308 Win used for?
The Savage 110 Ridge Hunter .308 Win is engineered for close-quarters hunting in dense brush and short-to-medium-range precision work where maneuverability is critical. Its 18-inch threaded barrel shaves 2.5 inches off traditional hunting rifle profiles, making it far less likely to snag on branches while still providing adequate velocity for terminal ballistics out to 400 yards. The left-hand configuration and 10+1 magazine capacity give southpaw shooters a distinct mechanical advantage in rapid engagements, whether on driven hunts or in a field-testing scenario for a suppressor.
How does the Savage 110 Ridge Hunter compare to the Stevens 334?
The Savage 110 Ridge Hunter is a superior platform for serious shooters who demand aftermarket customization and long-term durability compared to the more basic Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win. While the Stevens 334 offers an affordable entry point, the Ridge Hunter's AccuTrigger system provides a crisper, user-tunable break (adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds), its heavier 18-inch barrel dissipates heat better during sustained fire, and its AICS magazine compatibility opens up a world of high-capacity and precision-machined options that the Stevens' proprietary blind magazine does not.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 8.10 pounds (3.67 kg) unloaded and measures 38.26 inches (97.18 cm) in overall length. The weight is concentrated forward due to the heavy-contour barrel profile, which aids in steady off-hand shooting but adds noticeable heft compared to sporter-weight barrels of the same length. The stock features a 1.25-inch length-of-pull adjustment range via spacers, accommodating shooters from a 12.5-inch to a 13.75-inch pull without tools.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for the long-range precision competitor seeking to shoot sub-MOA groups consistently at 1000 yards, nor is it for the budget-conscious first-time buyer who doesn't intend to use its threaded barrel or magazine system. The 1:10 twist rate, while excellent for stabilizing common 150-180 grain hunting projectiles, is not ideal for the ultra-heavy, high-BC match bullets (over 200 grains) favored by ELR shooters. Furthermore, the left-hand configuration makes it a niche product that right-handed shooters should simply avoid.
What’s in the box?
You receive the barreled action seated in its synthetic stock, one 10-round AICS-pattern metal magazine, a set of three stock spacer kits for length-of-pull adjustment, the factory thread protector, and the owner's manual with warranty card. Notably, iron sights are installed from the factory—a rare and practical inclusion on a modern hunting rifle—but you must supply your own optic, rings, and a 5/8x24 threaded muzzle device like a compensator or suppressor mount.
Is the Savage 110 Ridge Hunter worth it at $802.99?
At $802.99, the Savage 110 Ridge Hunter represents strong value for a left-handed shooter seeking a suppressor-ready, magazine-fed hunting rifle without stepping into the $1,500+ custom action territory. You are paying a premium over a basic Stevens 334 for three critical features: the adjustable AccuTrigger, the threaded heavy barrel, and the AICS magazine system. If you plan to utilize any of those features, the investment is justified; if not, save $300 and buy the simpler rifle.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the threaded barrel compatible with standard 5/8x24 muzzle devices?
- Yes, the 18-inch heavy barrel has a 5/8x24 thread pitch, which is the NATO-standard thread for .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO. This allows direct mounting of common muzzle brakes, compensators, and suppressors from manufacturers like SilencerCo, Dead Air, and SureFire without requiring an adapter.
- Does it fit in a standard 40-inch rifle case?
- Easily. With an overall length of 38.26 inches, this rifle will fit in any hard or soft case rated for 40 inches or longer. For reference, a Plano All-Weather 42-inch case provides over 3.5 inches of clearance at the muzzle end for added protection.

- All firearm shipments from Ironclad Armory are processed within 1 business day and typically arrive at your selected Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder in 3-5 business days via FedEx or UPS 2Day Air, depending on your location.

- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for any firearm with a verifiable mechanical defect as confirmed by our in-house armorers. The firearm must be unfired and in its original packaging.

- Does this work with Magpul AICS magazines?
- Yes, the Savage 110 action in this configuration is designed to use standard AICS-pattern detachable box magazines. This includes polymer options from Magpul and metal magazines from Accurate-Mag, among others. The supplied 10-round metal magazine is manufactured to AICS specifications.
