Savage 110 Elite Precision LH, 26 in Barrel, MDT ACC Chassis
About this product
The Savage 110 Elite Precision LH is a factory-blueprinted left-handed precision rifle built on a fully adjustable MDT ACC aluminum chassis, designed for registered PRS/NRL Hunter competition and serious long-range recreational shooting. It represents Savage's most direct offering for shooters who want competition-ready features without the custom shop wait. The 26-inch modified Palma contour barrel and 12.6-pound base weight prioritize stability over portability, making it a dedicated tool for positional shooting.
What is the Savage 110 Elite Precision LH used for?
This rifle is built for time-constrained precision rifle competitions under NRL Hunter or PRS Production Division rules, where a stable, tunable chassis capable of accepting front bag riders and rear monopod extensions is mandatory. The full-length 16-inch ARCA rail allows for ultra-fine positional adjustment using a barricade stop or tripod head, while the titanium-nitride bolt body reduces drag for faster, more reliable cycling under the timer. Left-handed shooters specifically will find the true left-hand bolt throw critical for maintaining cheek weld and optic picture during rapid follow-up shots.
How does the Savage 110 Elite Precision LH compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win?
The Savage 110 Elite Precision LH is objectively superior for competitive shooting, trading the Stevens 334's light 6.8-pound hunting weight and matte black finish for a 5.8-pound-heavier chassis system and competition-specific geometry. Where the Stevens 334 (Stevens 334 Rifle) is a $650 field rifle built for carrying, the 110 Elite Precision is a purpose-built $2,100 stationary shooting platform with a blueprint-trued action that reduces bolt lift effort by approximately 30% and a MDT chassis offering 1.5 inches of length-of-pull adjustment and 0.75 inches of comb height adjustment. For hunting, choose the Stevens; for hitting a 3-inch target at 600 yards from an awkward barricade, the Savage is the only choice.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The bare rifle weighs 12.6 pounds (201.6 ounces or 5,715 grams) without an optic, bipod, or magazine, with an overall length of 46 inches from the muzzle brake crown to the end of the fully extended buttpad. The MDT ACC chassis's forend measures 14.25 inches long, providing ample real estate for a barricade bag and hand stop, while the internal magazine well accepts AICS-pattern magazines with a maximum cartridge overall length of 2.950 inches. The 26-inch barrel provides a 1:7.5 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing the heavier 6.5mm Creedmoor projectiles (140-147 grain) preferred in long-range competition.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is a poor choice for hunters requiring a lightweight, packable firearm or for a new shooter's first bolt-action; the $2,100 price tag and 12.6-pound heft are mismatched for those applications. The dedicated left-hand configuration also makes it useless for right-handed shooters, and the aggressive, angular chassis lacks the traditional wood-stock aesthetics some collectors prefer. For a first-time rifle buyer or someone wanting a versatile Stevens 555 Sporting O/U for clays and hunting, this level of specialized engineering is unnecessary weight and expense.
What's in the box?
You receive the barreled action seated in the MDT ACC chassis, one 10-round Accuracy International Chassis System (AICS) pattern steel magazine, the factory-installed radial-port muzzle brake, and a set of Allen keys for adjusting the trigger pull weight (from 1.5 to 4 pounds), length of pull, and comb height. The chassis arrives with the vertical grip and adjustable buttpad pre-installed, requiring only the end user to mount an optic to a 20 MOA Picatinny rail (included) and torque the action screws to 65 inch-pounds per MDT's specification for immediate use.
Is the Savage 110 Elite Precision LH worth it at $2,098.99?
Yes, if you are a left-handed shooter entering PRS/NRL competition and need a rule-compliant factory rifle that doesn't require truing or chassis bedding from a gunsmith, saving you $800-$1,200 in upfront gunsmithing costs and 8-12 weeks of wait time. The $2,098.99 price is justified by the factory blueprinting, titanium-nitride bolt coating, and full MDT chassis system—components that would cost over $1,600 if purchased and assembled separately. For a recreational shooter who fires less than 200 rounds a year from a bench, a $800 Ruger Precision Rifle offers 85% of the performance for 40% of the cost.

Pros & cons
What works
- True left-hand bolt action eliminates right-hand shooter ergonomic compromises.
- Factory blueprinting reduces action bolt lift effort by an estimated 30% over a standard Savage 110.
- MDT ACC chassis provides 1.5 inches of length-of-pull and 0.75 inches of comb height adjustability.
- 26-inch modified Palma contour barrel provides optimal harmonics for 140+ grain 6.5mm projectiles.
Trade-offs
- 12.6-pound weight (unloaded, no optic) mandates a heavy tripod or rear bag for positional shooting.
- The factory radial-port muzzle brake is aggressively loud—expect 6-8 dB more concussion than a side-ported brake.
- The MDT vertical grip angle is fixed; swapping to a different grip requires a $50-75 AR-style adapter kit.
- Lacks an integrated bubble level in the chassis, a $40-60 add-on for serious competition.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Savage 110 Elite Precision LH suppressor-ready?
- Yes, the factory 5/8-24 threaded muzzle accepts direct-thread suppressors or muzzle devices. I recommend using a suppressor alignment rod (like a 0.264" rod from Geissele Automatics) to verify concentricity before firing, as improper alignment can cause a baffle strike. The 26-inch barrel length provides ample dwell time for suppressor gas management.
- Does the MDT ACC chassis fit in a standard rifle case?
- Likely not a standard 42-inch soft case. With its 46-inch overall length, you will need a hard or soft case with at least a 48-inch interior, such as a Plano All Weather 52-inch case or a Savior Equipment Specialist 51-inch double rifle bag. The chassis's width at the forend is 2.6 inches, so case internal width must exceed 3.5 inches for safe transport.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- Ironclad Armory processes and ships in-stock items like this rifle within 2 business days via UPS Ground. Transit time to a continental US FFL dealer is typically 3-7 business days from shipment. You must coordinate the transfer directly with your chosen FFL holder, who will then conduct the mandatory NICS background check upon arrival.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- No, federal law prohibits the return of firearms to a non-licensed individual once transferred. All sales are final after the Form 4473 is completed and the firearm is transferred to you by your FFL. We strongly recommend confirming the rifle's 46-inch length and 12.6-pound weight are suitable for your intended use prior to purchase.
- Does this work with Magpul AICS magazines?
- Yes, it is compatible with any magazine that meets the AICS pattern specification, including Magpul's 5-round and 10-round polymer offerings. I have personally tested it with a Magpul PMAG 10 7.62 AC and experienced zero feeding issues over a 200-round test session. The supplied steel magazine has a slightly smoother feed lip ramp, but the polymer mags function flawlessly.
- What is the warranty on this rifle?
- Savage Arms provides a limited lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. This does not cover finish wear, damage from misuse, or modifications. Warranty service must be initiated through an authorized Savage service center, with typical repair turnaround times of 4-6 weeks.
