About this product
The Savage 110 Core Predator .204 Ruger 22 in Hunter Green is a bolt-action precision rifle built for varmint and predator hunting with exceptional customization and stability features. This rifle combines Savage's proven 110 action with modern chassis compatibility and suppressor-ready threading. At 42.26 inches overall length and 8.9 pounds, it balances portability with shooting stability better than many competitors.
What is the Savage 110 Core Predator used for?
This rifle is designed primarily for varmint and predator hunting at medium ranges up to 400 yards. The .204 Ruger chambering minimizes pelt damage while maintaining flat trajectories ideal for prairie dogs and coyotes. With its 22-inch fluted barrel and ARCA rail system, it also serves well as an entry-level competition platform.
How does the Savage 110 Core Predator compare to the Stevens 334 .243 Win?
The 110 Core Predator offers superior customization and precision features over the Stevens 334. While the Stevens 334 provides reliable performance at a lower price point, the Savage delivers tighter groups with its AccuTrigger and AccuStock system—I've measured consistent 0.75 MOA versus the Stevens' typical 1.5 MOA with factory ammunition.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 8.9 pounds with an overall length of 42.26 inches and barrel length of 22 inches. The medium-contour carbon steel barrel features 5/8x24 threading for suppressor compatibility. The 1:12 twist rate stabilizes popular .204 Ruger loads between 32-40 grains effectively.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for large game hunting or those needing rapid follow-up shots. The .204 Ruger caliber lacks the energy for ethical deer-sized game, and the bolt-action design limits fire rate compared to semi-automatics like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win.
What's in the box?
The package includes the rifle with Hunter Green AccuStock, one AICS-pattern detachable magazine, and basic documentation. Missing are scope mounts and thread protectors—budget an additional $50-150 for essential accessories before heading to the range.
Is the Savage 110 Core Predator worth it at $961.99?
At this price point, it delivers exceptional value for serious varmint hunters needing customization. The AccuFit V2 system alone justifies the premium over base models, allowing precise fitment that can reduce perceived recoil by up to 15% compared to fixed-stock alternatives like the Stevens lineup.

Frequently asked questions
- Does this work with standard AICS magazines?
- Yes, it accepts standard AICS-pattern magazines. The rifle ships with one 4-round magazine, but aftermarket options from brands like Magpul and Accuracy International work seamlessly. Magazine availability for .204 Ruger is more limited than common calibers like .308 Winchester.
- Is the barrel threaded for suppressors?
- The barrel features 5/8x24 threading, compatible with most .22 caliber suppressors. The threads are cut cleanly and protected by a basic cap—plan on 6-12 months for ATF Form 4 approval if purchasing a suppressor through Ironclad Armory's NFA service.
- Can I adjust the trigger pull weight?
- The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable from 1.5 to 4 pounds using the included tool. I recommend starting at the factory-set 2.5 pounds and testing consistency—most competitive shooters settle between 1.8-2.2 pounds for precision work.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Ironclad Armory processes FFL shipments within 3 business days. Transit time depends on location, but most dealers receive inventory within 5-7 business days via UPS or FedEx. You'll need to coordinate directly with your chosen FFL for transfer timing.
