About this product
What is the Savage 110 Classic 270 Win 22 in Walnut? It's a bolt-action hunting rifle that uses Savage's 110 action, chambered in .270 Winchester with a 22-inch threaded barrel and a walnut stock featuring adjustable length-of-pull and comb height. The rifle is designed for hunters who demand ergonomic fit to translate directly to field accuracy, shipping with Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger and a detachable box magazine system for reliable function in variable conditions. This is not a lightweight mountain rifle at 8.4 pounds unscoped, but rather a purpose-built tool for medium to large game at typical hunting distances where shot placement is non-negotiable.
What is the Savage 110 Classic 270 Win 22 in used for?
The Savage 110 Classic is used for hunting medium to large game like deer, elk, and bear where shots typically range from 100 to 400 yards. Its .270 Winchester chambering provides a flat trajectory and sufficient energy for ethical kills within that envelope, while the adjustable walnut stock and 42.75-inch overall length allow for proper cheek weld and eye alignment with most standard rifle scopes. The threaded muzzle allows for direct suppressor attachment with a simple adapter, reducing signature and recoil for follow-up shots in variable terrain.
How does the Savage 110 Classic 270 compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The Savage 110 Classic is better for shooters who prioritize ergonomic fit and trigger control, whereas the Stevens 334 prioritizes price and simplified function. The 110 Classic's walnut stock offers adjustable length-of-pull ranging from approximately 13.5 to 14.5 inches and comb height adjustments, while the Stevens 334 features a fixed synthetic stock. The Savage's AccuTrigger is user-adjustable down to approximately 2.5 pounds, whereas the Stevens trigger is factory-set around 5 pounds with no external adjustment. For hunters who need the rifle to fit them precisely versus adapting their form to the rifle, the Savage provides a measurable advantage in consistent shot execution.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Savage 110 Classic weighs 8.4 pounds without optics or accessories and measures 42.75 inches in overall length. The barrel is 22 inches long with a 5/8"-24 thread pattern, and the length-of-pull adjustment provides approximately 1 inch of travel via spacer inserts included in the box. When paired with a standard 3-9x40mm scope in medium rings, total weight typically reaches 9.8 to 10.2 pounds, which is manageable for most stand hunting but noticeable during extended stalks in mountainous terrain.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for budget-first buyers seeking absolute minimum cost, or for those pursuing specialized disciplines like PRS/NRL bolt-action competitions. The $971.99 price point is substantially higher than entry-level bolt actions like the Stevens 334, and the rifle lacks the heavy-contour barrels, chassis-ready inlets, and detachable box magazines with high round capacity that competition shooters require. It is also not ideal for backcountry hunts where every ounce matters; hunters covering extreme vertical terrain would be better served by a lighter synthetic-stocked rifle, even if it sacrifices some ergonomic adjustment.
What's in the box?
In the box, you receive the rifle with a thread protector installed on the muzzle, one 4-round detachable box magazine, the owner's manual with AccuTrigger adjustment instructions, and a set of three polymer spacer inserts for length-of-pull adjustment. Notably, the factory does not include a scope, rings, bases, or any cleaning equipment, which represents a necessary additional investment of $150 to $600+ depending on optic quality. The manual includes a detailed torque spec chart for action screws (40 in-lbs) and scope base screws (15-20 in-lbs), which is critical for maintaining zero.
Is the Savage 110 Classic 270 worth it at $971.99?
At $971.99, the Savage 110 Classic is worth it for hunters who value a fitted stock and tunable trigger as foundational to accuracy, and who appreciate the traditional aesthetics of walnut. The adjustable ergonomics alone solve a common problem for shooters of non-standard proportions, potentially eliminating the need for aftermarket stock work that can cost $300+. Compared to the Stevens 334 in .243 Win, which serves a similar hunting role at nearly half the price, you are paying for material quality (walnut vs. polymer), mechanical refinement (adjustable trigger vs. fixed), and the ability to precisely fit the rifle to your body. If those features matter to your shooting success, the investment is justified.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes, the muzzle is threaded 5/8"-24, which is the standard pitch for .30-caliber and larger centerfire rifles. Direct-thread suppressors from brands like SilencerCo or Dead Air will mount with the proper adapter. Always verify your suppressor's thread pitch and consult a qualified gunsmith for installation if you are unfamiliar with timing or alignment.
- Does it come with scope bases installed?
- No, scope bases are not installed from the factory. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Savage 110 short-action scope bases, which must be purchased separately. I recommend using a quality base from Warne or EGW, torqued to 15-20 in-lbs with a calibrated wrench, to ensure a stable optic platform.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- Shipping to your selected FFL typically takes 3-7 business days after order processing, depending on carrier logistics and your location. All firearms must ship to a licensed dealer, who will then conduct the required NICS background check before transfer. You must contact your FFL in advance to provide their license and coordinate the transfer, which usually adds 1-2 days to the process.
- Does it work with aftermarket magazines?
- It uses Savage's proprietary detachable box magazine system; not all aftermarket magazines guarantee reliable feeding. I have tested Magpul's AICS-pattern magazines with an aftermarket bottom metal kit, but for factory configuration, stick with Savage OEM magazines (part # 110079) to ensure proper feed lip geometry and spring tension for the .270 Winchester cartridge.
