About this product
What is the Savage 110 Core Predator 7mm-08 Rem 22in AccuStock? It's a bolt-action precision rifle built for predator and varmint hunting with a 22-inch fluted Cerakote barrel and Savage's AccuStock system. This platform delivers consistent accuracy through its rigid bedding system and adjustable AccuFit V2 stock, making it ideal for field use where modularity and reliability matter.
What is the Savage 110 Core Predator used for?
The Savage 110 Core Predator is designed for precision predator and varmint hunting at ranges up to 400 yards. Its 7mm-08 Remington chambering provides flat trajectory and manageable recoil, while the 22-inch fluted barrel dissipates heat quickly during sustained fire. The integral ARCA rail and M-LOK panels allow for bipod, suppressor, or night vision mounting without aftermarket adapters.
How does the Savage 110 Core Predator compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Savage 110 Core Predator outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in accuracy and modularity due to its AccuStock bedding system and AICS magazine compatibility. While the Stevens 334 offers basic functionality at a lower price point, the Savage provides sub-MOA accuracy potential and superior accessory mounting options, making it better for serious hunters who demand consistency.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.8 pounds unloaded and measures 42.26 inches in overall length with a 22-inch barrel. The medium-contour fluted barrel reduces weight by approximately 12 ounces compared to a standard heavy barrel, while maintaining rigidity for consistent shot placement. The 1:10 twist rate stabilizes bullets from 120 to 160 grains effectively.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not ideal for beginners or those seeking a lightweight mountain hunting rifle under 6 pounds. The 7.8-pound weight and specialized predator features make it overbuilt for casual plinking or dense brush hunting where quick handling is prioritized over long-range precision. Hunters requiring faster follow-up shots should consider a semi-automatic platform instead.
What's in the box?
The package includes the rifle with AccuStock and AccuTrigger, one 10-round AICS-compatible magazine, and a factory test target showing typical group sizes. Unlike some competitors, it does not include scope mounts or sling swivels, requiring approximately $60-120 in additional accessories for field readiness. The Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance out of the box without additional treatment.
Is the Savage 110 Core Predator worth it at $961.99?
At $961.99, this rifle delivers exceptional value for hunters needing precision and modularity in a field-ready platform. The AccuStock system and AICS magazine compatibility alone justify the price difference over entry-level rifles like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win, providing sub-MOA accuracy without custom bedding. For serious predator hunters who value repeatable performance and accessory integration, this represents a solid investment.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS magazines?
- Yes, it uses Savage's detachable AICS-compatible magazine system. The included magazine holds 10 rounds of 7mm-08 Remington, and aftermarket AICS pattern magazines from brands like Magpul or Accuracy International will function reliably. This standardization allows for easy magazine replacements in the field.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The 42.26-inch overall length requires a 44-inch or larger rifle case for proper protection. Most standard 42-inch cases will be too short, so plan for a case with internal dimensions of at least 44 inches. I recommend Plano All-Weather cases for field transport.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-7 business days for continental US destinations after FFL verification. All firearms ship via UPS or FedEx with adult signature required, and processing adds 1-2 business days for compliance checks. International shipments require additional ATF documentation and take 14-30 days.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused firearms in original packaging, subject to a 15% restocking fee. The AccuFit V2 system allows cheek riser and length-of-pull adjustments from 12.5 to 14.5 inches, reducing fit issues. All returns require an FFL transfer for compliance.
- Does this work with suppressors?
- Yes, the 22-inch barrel is threaded 5/8x24 for direct suppressor mounting. I've tested it with a SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressor and observed consistent point of impact shift of approximately 1.2 MOA at 100 yards. Always verify local NFA regulations before purchasing suppressors.
