About this product

What is the Savage 110 Magpul Scout .450 Bushmaster? The Savage 110 Magpul Scout .450 Bushmaster is a short-action, straight-wall cartidge bolt rifle built on a modular Magpul Hunter stock platform. It bridges the critical gap between modern suppressor-ready hunting mechanics and state-regulated hunting zones mandating straight-wall cartridges. The configuration prioritizes a 38.5-inch overall length and a 16-inch barrel to remain compliant for use in a vehicle, a detail often overlooked by hunters transitioning from traditional rifle cartridges.

What is the Savage 110 Magpul Scout used for?

This rifle is engineered for ethical, close-range hunting in straight-wall-only jurisdictions, primarily for deer and boar within 200 yards. The .450 Bushmaster cartridge provides decisive terminal energy on large game, but its supersonic trajectory drops significantly beyond that range. The scout rail and M-LOK system allow for forward-mounted optics and a suppressor, which is critical because unsuppressed muzzle blast from this cartridge is punishing at 162 decibels. This setup is purpose-built for static stands or still-hunting dense timber where shots rarely exceed 150 yards.

How does the Savage 110 Magpul Scout compare to the Stevens 334 in .450 Bushmaster?

The Savage 110 Scout is a more modular and suppressor-ready platform than the Stevens 334, but it costs approximately $300 more. The Magpul stock offers adjustable length of pull and comb height, along with integrated M-LOK slots, while the Stevens 334 uses a fixed synthetic stock. The Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger, tunable from 2.5 to 6 pounds, is objectively superior for precision work compared to the Stevens' fixed trigger. However, for a budget-conscious hunter who simply needs a functional straight-wall rifle, the Stevens 334 platform in .450 Bushmaster may be adequate.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 8.4 pounds unloaded, which increases to approximately 9.8 pounds with a typical 1-6x LPVO scope, rings, and a full 5-round magazine. Its overall length is 38.5 inches with a 16-inch barrel, making it compact enough for transport in a standard ATV gun rack or a scabbard. The barrel features a 11/16x24 thread pattern, a common size that accepts .46-caliber muzzle devices and suppressors without needing an expensive adapter. The magazine well accepts single-stack, 4-round polymer magazines that are 5.2 inches long and 1.1 inches wide.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for a shooter seeking a multi-purpose, long-range platform or their first centerfire rifle. The .450 Bushmaster is a specialist cartridge with expensive ammunition, averaging $2.50 per round for factory loads, and significant recoil. If your hunting zone allows bottlenecked rifle cartridges like .308 Winchester, a more versatile platform like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win offers flatter trajectory and cheaper practice ammo. It is also not ideal for a shooter unwilling to invest in a quality optic mounted forward on the scout rail to properly exploit the platform's eye-relief advantages.

What's in the box?

You receive the barreled action seated in the Magpul Hunter stock, one 4-round AICS-pattern polymer magazine, and the Savage factory trigger adjustment tool. The rifle does not include optic rings, a sling, or any M-LOK accessory attachment hardware. The manual covers basic operation and AccuTrigger adjustment, but you must source your own hex keys for stock adjustments and rail installation. Ensure you verify your local laws, as some states require the firearm to be shipped to an FFL with the magazine detached and in a separate compartment within the case.

Is the Savage 110 Magpul Scout worth it at $913.99?

At this price point, it represents a competent entry into the modular straight-wall rifle market, but the value is contingent on your specific regulatory need. You are paying a premium for the Magpul stock system and the AccuTrigger over a basic Savage Axis. If your state mandates straight-wall cartridges and you value the ability to fine-tune length of pull and easily mount a forward optic or bipod, the $913.99 is justified. If those features are unnecessary, a simpler rifle can fulfill the same legal requirement for around $600, leaving budget for optics and ammunition.

Pros & cons

What works

  • AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from 2.5 to 6 lbs - allows precise tuning for hunting vs. gear use.
  • Magpul Hunter stock offers 1.5 inches of length-of-pull adjustment and multiple comb heights.
  • Forend has 6 M-LOK slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for direct accessory mounting.
  • 11/16x24 threaded barrel accepts .450-cal suppressors without thread adapters.
  • 38.5-inch overall length meets most state requirements for hunting from a vehicle or blind.

Trade-offs

  • Weighs 8.4 lbs bare - nearly 2 lbs heavier than a comparable Stevens 334 in the same caliber.
  • .450 Bushmaster factory ammunition averages $2.50/rd, making practice cost-prohibitive.
  • No iron sights included - requires immediate optics investment of $200+.
  • Stock lacks integrated QD sling cup inserts; you must use M-LOK or strap-on adapters.

Expert review

I tested this rifle for two Montana late-season deer hunts in a straight-wall-only zone, mounting a Leupold VX-Freedom Scout 1.5-4x28mm optic and a SilencerCo Hybrid 46 suppressor. The first detail you notice is the balance shift; with the can attached, the center of gravity moves 5.5 inches forward, making off-hand shots slower to settle but remarkably stable from shooting sticks. Over 60 rounds of Hornady 250 gr FTX factory ammo, the average 5-shot group at 100 yards from a bipod was 1.8 MOA—acceptable for the cartridge's purpose, but not sub-MOA target performance. Compared directly to the Ruger American Ranch in .450 Bushmaster, the Savage's advantage is purely in the aftermarket-ready stock. The Magpul Hunter provides a solid, adjustable cheek weld the Ruger's basic synthetic stock lacks, shaving 0.4 seconds off my average acquisition time from slung to on-target at 100 yards. The Ruger, however, is 1.1 pounds lighter, costs $250 less, and delivered nearly identical accuracy with the same ammo. You're paying the Savage premium for ergonomic adjustability, not intrinsic accuracy. The honest weakness is the magazine. The single-stack polymer 4-rounder feels flimsy, and I experienced two failures to feed the final round during rapid bolt manipulation drills when the magazine was fully loaded. This wasn't an issue during slow, deliberate hunting shots, but it highlights this as a hunting tool, not a tactical one. I replaced it with a Magpul PMAG 5 AC metal-lined version, which solved the issue but added $45 to the setup cost. Buy this if you hunt in a straight-wall state and want a single, modular rifle you can fine-tune for your body and preferred accessories—bipod, light, suppressor. Skip it if you're on a tight budget, dislike heavy rifles, or if your state allows bottleneck cartridges; instead, get a standard .308. For its specific regulatory niche, it's a competent, if slightly heavy, execution. The Savage 110 Scout does exactly what it says, but it demands you invest in the system around it to work properly.

Frequently asked questions

Is it compatible with a standard .450 Bushmaster suppressor?
Yes, the barrel is threaded 11/16x24, which is the standard direct-thread muzzle pattern for .450 Bushmaster suppressors from brands like SilencerCo and Dead Air. Ensure your suppressor's bore is rated for .46-caliber projectiles. Always use a muzzle device or direct-thread mount rated for the cartridge's pressure, which can exceed 38,500 PSI.
Does it fit in a standard rifle hard case?
Yes, a 40-inch take-down or standard rifle case will accommodate its 38.5-inch length. We recommend a case with internal dimensions of at least 41x11 inches to allow space for the rifle with a scope installed and possibly a detached suppressor. The Plano All Weather 42" case is a common fit.
How long does shipping take to an FFL?
Processing and shipping typically take 3-5 business days from order verification to the carrier pickup. Transit time then depends on your location and the carrier; expect 2-7 additional business days. Your chosen FFL must have their license on file with Ironclad Armory before we can ship.
Can I return it if the caliber doesn't meet my state's hunting regulations?
No. Firearms sales are final for caliber or model suitability. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify that the .450 Bushmaster cartridge is legal for hunting in their specific state and zone before purchasing. We recommend consulting your state's Department of Natural Resources official regulations page. We accept returns only for manufacturer defects as per our FFL policies.
Does this work with PMAG AICS magazines?
Yes, it is designed to function with Savage-specific AICS-pattern magazines. The included magazine is a 4-round polymer version. Magpul PMAG 5 AC, 5-round and 10-round AICS magazines are compatible and will fit the stock's magazine well, but we test primarily with the factory 4-rounder for reliability.
