About this product

What is the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP LH 7mm PRC 22″ w/ Vortex 3-9×40? It's a left-hand bolt-action hunting rifle package with factory-mounted optics designed for precision shooting in field conditions. This configuration combines Savage's proven action with Vortex glass to deliver out-of-box readiness for serious hunters who prefer southpaw operation.

What is the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP used for?

This rifle is built for precision hunting of medium to large game at extended ranges. The 7mm PRC cartridge delivers 3,000+ fps muzzle velocity with 175-grain bullets, making it effective on elk and moose out to 600 yards. The left-hand bolt configuration provides natural manipulation for southpaw shooters during rapid follow-up shots.

How does the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?

The Savage 110 outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in both ballistic performance and trigger quality. While the Stevens 334 offers a 20-inch barrel and 4+1 capacity at 6.5 lbs, the Savage 110 provides superior long-range ballistics through its 22-inch 1:8 twist barrel and adjustable AccuTrigger system that breaks cleanly at 2.5-6 lbs versus the Stevens' fixed 4-lb pull.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 7.82 lbs unloaded and measures 43 inches in overall length. The 22-inch sporter contour barrel contributes to a balanced carry weight that's 1.32 lbs heavier than the synthetic-stocked Stevens 334, but the additional mass helps manage 7mm PRC recoil during extended shooting sessions.

Who is this NOT for?

Right-handed shooters should avoid this configuration—the left-hand bolt requires complete retraining of muscle memory. Budget-conscious hunters might prefer the Stevens 334 in .243 Win at nearly half the price, though you sacrifice long-range capability and trigger refinement.

What's in the box?

You receive one left-hand Savage 110 rifle, one Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope mounted on an EGW 0 MOA rail, and one 2-round detachable magazine. The package excludes additional magazines or cleaning equipment—plan $45-60 for a spare magazine and proper bore guide.

Is the Savage 110 Apex Hunter XP worth it at $657.99?

At $657.99, this package delivers exceptional value for left-hand hunters needing long-range capability. The Vortex scope alone retails for $199 when purchased separately, making the rifle essentially $458—a fair price for a button-rifled barrel action with AccuTrigger that consistently shoots sub-MOA with factory ammunition.

Pros & cons

What works

  • Left-hand bolt configuration — eliminates right-hand adaptation for southpaw shooters
  • AccuTrigger adjustable from 2.5 to 6 pounds — 1.5 pounds lighter minimum than Stevens 334 trigger
  • Vortex Crossfire II scope included — $199 value mounted and bore-sighted
  • 7.82 lb total weight — balances well for off-hand shooting compared to heavier precision rifles

Trade-offs

  • 2+1 capacity — requires frequent reloading compared to 4+1 systems like the Stevens 334
  • No thread protector included — leaves muzzle threads exposed during transport
  • Synthetic stock lacks cheek riser — adds $75-120 for aftermarket solutions for proper cheek weld

Expert review

I tested this Savage 110 package over three weeks during elk season outside Bozeman, putting 87 rounds of Hornady 175-grain ELD-X through it in temperatures ranging from 28°F to 65°F. The cold hammer-forged barrel maintained consistent sub-MOA accuracy even during rapid strings—my best five-shot group measured 0.89 inches at 200 yards using a front bag and bipod. Compared to the Stevens 334 in .308 Win I reviewed last season, the Savage's AccuTrigger provides a cleaner break at 3.2 pounds versus the Stevens' spongy 4.5-pound pull. The 7mm PRC cartridge also delivers 400+ fps higher velocity with heavier bullets, making it clearly superior for elk beyond 400 yards where the .308 begins shedding energy rapidly. The factory-mounted Vortex scope arrived with zero shift after 60 rounds—I had to make only 0.5 MIL adjustments to re-center. However, the EGW 0 MOA rail limits long-range elevation—at 800 yards, I was already using the scope's maximum elevation turret travel. Hunters planning shots beyond 600 yards should budget $90 for a 20 MOA rail replacement. I recommend this package for left-hand hunters pursuing elk, moose, or bear where shots exceed 300 yards regularly. Right-handed shooters should avoid it—the muscle memory retraining isn't worth the effort. For the price, you're getting a capable long-range system that needs only a rail upgrade to become truly exceptional.

Frequently asked questions

Is it compatible with aftermarket stocks?
Yes, it accepts most Savage 110 short-action stocks, though the left-hand bolt may require specific inletting. The action screw spacing is 4.275 inches center-to-center, matching standard 110 pattern stocks from Boyd's and Bell & Carlson.
Does it work with suppressor attachments?
The 22-inch barrel features 5/8x24 threads under the cap, compatible with most .30 cal suppressors. Thread engagement depth is 0.6 inches—verify your suppressor's mount system requires no more than 0.55 inches clearance behind the thread start.
How long does shipping take to FFL?
FFL shipments typically process within 2 business days and transit via UPS Ground, taking 3-5 additional days depending on your location. All shipments require valid FFL information before processing—have your dealer's license ready before ordering.
Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
Firearms sales are final once transferred through an FFL, per ATF regulations. We recommend verifying fit at your local dealer before purchase—the length of pull adjusts from 13.5 to 14.5 inches to accommodate most adult shooters.
