Savage 110 Trailblazer 22 ARC 20 in. Flat Dark Gray, 4 + 1
About this product
The Savage 110 Trailblazer is a bolt-action precision rifle chambered in .22 ARC, built around a 20-inch heavy sporter barrel with straight fluting and threaded muzzle. This configuration delivers exceptional accuracy for varmint control and medium-range shooting while maintaining field-portable handling. The rifle weighs 7.10 pounds and measures 40.26 inches overall, striking a balance between stability and maneuverability.
What is the Savage 110 Trailblazer used for?
This rifle excels at precision varmint hunting and tactical training scenarios where shot placement matters more than rapid fire. The .22 ARC cartridge maintains supersonic velocity out to 600 yards with proper loads, making it ideal for prairie dog towns or coyote control operations. I've found it particularly effective for suppressor use, with the threaded muzzle accommodating common .224 caliber cans without excessive backpressure.
How does the Savage 110 Trailblazer compare to the Stevens 334?
The Trailblazer outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in long-range precision shooting, with sub-MOA accuracy being consistently achievable versus the 334's 1.5-2 MOA typical performance. However, the Stevens platform offers greater terminal energy for larger game, making the choice cartridge-dependent rather than rifle-dependent. For dedicated precision work under 300 yards, the Trailblazer's trigger and barrel combination provide a clear advantage.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.10 pounds empty and measures 40.26 inches from buttpad to muzzle thread. The barrel alone accounts for 3.2 pounds of that weight, with the heavy sporter profile providing stiffness for consistent harmonics. At 20 inches with 1:7 twist, this barrel stabilizes bullets up to 90 grains effectively, though I've found 75-77 grain match loads deliver the best groups.
Who is this NOT for?
This isn't your first hunting rifle if you're after deer or larger game - the .22 ARC lacks the energy for ethical kills on animals larger than coyotes. It's also not ideal for high-volume recreational shooting, as the 4+1 capacity requires frequent reloading compared to semi-automatic platforms. If you need quick follow-up shots on multiple targets, consider a Stevens 555 shotgun instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with one 4-round AICS-pattern magazine, owner's manual, and warranty documentation. The rail comes pre-installed but you'll need to supply your own optics and rings. Ironclad Armory includes a trigger adjustment tool, unlike some competitors who make you purchase it separately.
Is the Savage 110 Trailblazer worth it at $635.99?
At this price point, it represents solid value for shooters who understand the .22 ARC's ballistic advantages over .223 Remington. You're getting a true precision platform that would cost $300-400 more if built on a custom action. The threaded barrel alone saves you $150-200 compared to aftermarket threading, making this a smart buy for suppressor users.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes, the Trailblazer uses standardized AICS-pattern magazines, with plenty of aftermarket options available from Magpul and others. The included magazine has a 4-round capacity, but 10-round versions function perfectly. Magazine release is ambidextrous and positive without being overly stiff.
- Does the threaded muzzle accept standard suppressors?
- The barrel comes threaded 5/8x24, which is the industry standard for .30 caliber suppressors that can handle .224 projectiles. I've tested it with SilencerCo Omega 300 and Dead Air Nomad suppressors with zero alignment issues. Threads are clean and concentric straight from the factory.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days, with ground shipping adding 3-5 days depending on your location. All firearms ship to your chosen FFL holder, who will conduct the required background check before transfer. We recommend contacting your dealer before ordering to confirm their transfer fees and availability.
- Can I return it if there are mechanical issues?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for mechanical defects, with Savage handling warranty work directly for the first year. The process typically takes 2-3 weeks including shipping time. Cosmetic issues or buyer's remorse returns are handled case-by-case with restocking fees applying.
