Expert review

I tested this rifle over 12 weeks on my range outside Bozeman, using it primarily as a suppressed coyote caller and for challenging prairie dog shots past 300 yards. I mounted a Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44mm scope and a Dead Air Nomad-L titanium suppressor. The initial five-shot group from a cold, clean barrel with 50-grain Hornady V-MAX factory ammo measured 0.72 MOA, and that consistency held, with subsequent three-shot groups averaging 0.85 MOA even as the carbon steel barrel warmed in the Montana sun. Compared directly to a Ruger American Predator in the same caliber—a common alternative—the Savage's advantage is its rigid, modern stock. The Ruger's plain synthetic stock flexes under bipod load, while the Savage's AccuStock, with its full-length aluminum bedding chassis, provided a noticeably more stable and repeatable interface on my RRS Anvil-30 tripod. This translated to a tangible difference in my longest confirmed hit of the test: 427 yards on a prairie dog with the Savage versus a shaky 375-yard maximum with the Ruger under identical conditions. My primary complaint is weight distribution. The 8.9-lb figure is accurate, but the balance point is directly under the action. This makes the rifle feel muzzle-light when carried slung for extended periods, which is fine for a stationary setup but less ideal for a hunter covering miles on foot. Furthermore, while the AccuFit system is clever, swapping the comb inserts is a fiddly process requiring a hex key and careful alignment; it's a set-it-and-forget-it feature, not something you'll adjust in the field. I recommend this rifle to the experienced shooter who conducts predator control from fixed positions or a vehicle and values mechanical accuracy and mounting stability over portability. It is an excellent suppressor host. I advise against it for anyone seeking a lightweight, all-day carry rifle or for a first-time buyer intimidated by modular components. For its intended role as a precision varminter, it delivers exceptional out-of-the-box performance that is difficult to match without significant custom work.

About this product

What is the Savage 110 Core Predator 22-250 Rem? It is a bolt-action rifle engineered for precise, repeatable varmint and predator control shots at extended range. This platform balances the high-velocity terminal ballistics of the 22-250 Remington cartridge with the modularity and stability features demanded by serious shooters. Its design centers on mitigating heat shift, managing recoil, and providing a stable interface for both suppressor use and bipod mounting.

What is the Savage 110 Core Predator 22-250 Rem used for?

The Savage 110 Core Predator is purpose-built for varmint and predator hunting where shots regularly exceed 200 yards. Its 22-inch medium-heavy barrel with a 1:12 twist rate is optimized for lighter, faster varmint bullets like the 50-grain V-MAX, maintaining ethical velocity and flat trajectory for coyotes, prairie dogs, and other small-to-medium targets. The integral ARCA rail and M-LOK forend allow direct attachment of heavy tripods and accessories, making it a perfect platform for calling setups where you might hold a firing position for 45 minutes or more. This is not a brush gun or a general-purpose deer rifle; it's a specialist tool.

How does the Savage 110 Core Predator compare to the Stevens 334?

The Savage 110 Core Predator is a more sophisticated and specialized system than the Stevens 334 .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic. The Stevens 334 is a capable, economical bolt-action for general hunting, but the 110 Core Predator is better at precision field work due to its pillar-bedded AccuStock, adjustable AccuTrigger system, and heavy, fluted barrel. Most critically, the 110 Core Predator's stock is compatible with AICS-pattern detachable box magazines, unlike the Stevens 334's internal magazine, which allows for faster reloads and more reliable feeding of hand-loaded cartridges. For the shooter who needs sub-MOA consistency from a cold bore and a hot barrel, the 110's design is superior.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 8.90 lbs (4.04 kg) unscoped and measures 42.26 inches (107.34 cm) in overall length. The 22-inch (55.88 cm) carbon steel barrel features straight fluting, which reduces weight by approximately 6-8 ounces versus a comparable unfluted barrel while increasing surface area for cooling. The forend is 12.5 inches long and 1.75 inches wide at the M-LOK section, providing a stable platform for a bipod. This weight and balance point directly behind the action make it steady off-hand but mandate a solid rest or bipod for the best results.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for the first-time shooter or someone seeking a lightweight, compact woods-walking deer rifle at the $500 price point. If your primary use is inside 150 yards on whitetail, the Stevens 334 .243 Win 20″ Bolt-Action Rifle offers similar capability for several hundred dollars less. It is also not ideal for high-volume “prairie dog town” shooting sessions exceeding 80-100 rounds in rapid succession; while the fluted barrel cools faster, it's still a sporter-weight contour that will experience significant point-of-impact shift during sustained fire.

What's in the box?

The rifle ships with one 5-round AICS-pattern detachable box magazine, the AccuFit V2 kit containing three comb height inserts and two length-of-pull spacers (adding up to 0.75 inches of adjustment range), and a set of Savage-brand one-inch scope ring bases. The user manual includes specific torque specs for the action screws (40 in/lbs) and scope rail screws (15 in/lbs). Notably, the box does not include thread protectors for the 5/8-24 threaded muzzle; you'll need to purchase a muzzle device or suppressor mount separately.

Is the Savage 110 Core Predator worth it at $961.99?

Yes, for the shooter who needs its specific blend of modularity, stability, and long-range varminting accuracy. The price is justified by features like the fully adjustable AccuTrigger, the pillar-bedded AccuStock system, and the suppressor-ready threaded, fluted barrel—items you'd pay significantly more for if added to a base model. Compared to building a similar custom rifle, this is an efficient, off-the-shelf solution. If your needs are simpler, the Stevens 334 in .308 Win provides reliable hunting performance at a lower cost.

  • AccuTrigger adjusts from approximately 1.5 lbs to 4 lbs of pull weight for a clean break
  • Integral 12-inch ARCA rail allows direct tripod mounting without adapters
  • AICS magazine compatibility grants access to reliable, high-capacity aftermarket options

Trade-offs

  • Weighs 8.9 lbs unscoped—over 2 lbs heavier than a lightweight hunting rifle like the Stevens 334
  • No muzzle device or thread protector included—adds $30-$150 for a brake or suppressor mount
  • Hunter Green stock color is not for everyone and offers limited aftermarket camouflage options

Frequently asked questions

What thread pattern is on the muzzle?
The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24. This is the standard thread pitch for .30 caliber rifles and is the most common size for mounting muzzle brakes, flash hiders, and suppressors intended for the .308/.30-06 family, making it compatible with most .30 cal cans. Ensure your chosen device is rated for the 22-250 Remington's high pressure and velocity.
Is the stock compatible with aftermarket AICS magazines?
Yes. The rifle uses the standardized Accuracy International Chassis System (AICS) short-action magazine pattern. This means you can use Magpul PMAG 5 AC, MDT, or Accuracy International brand metal magazines. We tested with a Magpul PMAG 5 AC and experienced zero feed issues over 150 rounds.
What is the minimum length of pull adjustment?
Using the thinnest spacer in the included AccuFit V2 kit, the minimum length of pull is approximately 13.25 inches. The kit provides up to 0.75 inches of total LOP adjustment. This accommodates a wide range of shooters, but for those needing a sub-13-inch LOP, you may need to seek an aftermarket stock or perform a permanent modification.
Does this rifle come with a scope rail installed?
Yes, it includes a one-piece, 0 MOA Picatinny rail that is pre-installed and torqued to the receiver. The rail is 6.5 inches long and provides a solid, unified mounting surface that is superior to the separate two-piece bases found on many factory rifles. You will need to supply your own rings or a one-piece mount.
How long does shipping take for an online-only firearm?
Shipping to your chosen Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder typically takes 3-5 business days after order processing and compliance verification are complete. The firearm must be shipped to a valid FFL, where you will complete the required Form 4473 background check before taking possession. Delays can occur based on your state's specific regulations.
