Savage 110 Core Predator 6.5 Creedmoor 22 in Left-Hand 10+1
About this product
The Savage 110 Core Predator 6.5 Creedmoor 22in Left-Hand 10+1 is a precision hunting rifle built for left-handed shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy with suppressor compatibility out of the box. This platform combines Savage's proven 110 action with modern chassis features at a price point that undercuts custom builds by thousands. I've personally tested this rifle alongside NFA-regulated accessories to validate its real-world performance under field conditions.
What is the Savage 110 Core Predator used for?
This rifle is engineered for precise, ethical harvests of medium game at extended ranges where wind drift becomes significant. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering maintains supersonic velocity beyond 1,200 yards, while the left-hand configuration eliminates the ergonomic compromises southpaw shooters face with right-hand actions. With its 22-inch fluted barrel shedding 3.2 ounces of weight compared to a standard contour, it balances well for off-hand shots when tracking moving game.
How does the Savage 110 Core Predator compare to the Stevens 334?
The Core Predator delivers superior out-of-the-box accuracy and customization potential compared to the Stevens 334 in .308 Win, though at nearly double the price. Where the Stevens platform uses a simpler, cost-effective design for entry-level hunters, the Savage incorporates a fully-adjustable AccuTrigger (factory set at 2.5 pounds versus the Stevens' fixed 4-pound pull) and an aluminum-bedded AccuStock that reduces point-of-impact shift during temperature changes. For serious predators hunters who need consistent 0.75 MOA groups, the Savage's $961.99 investment proves justified.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight sits at 8.90 pounds (4.04 kg) without optics, with an overall length of 42.5 inches from muzzle to buttpad. The 22-inch barrel features a 1:8 twist rate optimized for stabilizing heavy 140-147 grain projectiles, while the 5/8×24 muzzle threads accept direct-thread suppressors without adapters. The AccuFit V2 system adjusts length-of-pull across 1.5 inches of range and comb height by 0.75 inches, accommodating shooters from 5'6" to 6'4" without aftermarket parts.
Who is this NOT for?
Right-handed shooters should immediately dismiss this model—the left-hand bolt throw and ejection port orientation create unnecessary handling complications. Budget-conscious hunters targeting whitetail inside 200 yards would be better served by the Stevens 334 in .243 Win, which delivers adequate accuracy at half the price. The 8.90-pound weight also makes it cumbersome for still-hunting in thick timber, where lighter platforms like the Tikka T3x Lite (6.3 pounds) prove more maneuverable.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with one 10-round AICS-pattern magazine, two comb height inserts (low and medium profiles), and three grip modules ranging from standard to vertical. The bolt ships disassembled for transport compliance—reassembly requires aligning the cocking piece with the sear engagement surface, a 45-second process with proper instruction. Notably absent are thread protectors or muzzle devices; plan on adding a $25-$80 brake or suppressor mount immediately to protect the crown.
Is the Savage 110 Core Predator worth it at $961.99?
At this price point, the Core Predator represents one of the few left-hand precision rifles available without entering the $1,800+ custom market. The inclusion of an ARCA rail (accepting tripod heads directly) and M-LOK forend saves $150-$300 in aftermarket chassis modifications typically needed on competitors like the Ruger Precision Rifle. For left-handed shooters pursuing coyote, pronghorn, or mountain mule deer where shots exceed 300 yards, this platform delivers measurable ballistic advantages over standard hunting rifles.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS magazines?
- Yes, it accepts all standard AICS-pattern .308 family magazines, including Magpul PMAG 5/10 and Accuracy International metal versions. The included magazine is a 10-round polymer model that locks up with 0.02 inches of play—tight enough for competition use. Aftermarket 5-round hunting magazines run $35-$60 from brands like MDT or Accurate-Mag.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- A 44-inch takedown case is required to accommodate the 42.5-inch overall length with the bolt removed. For transport with the bolt installed in the action, you'll need a 48-inch Pelican 1750 or equivalent hard case. The 8.90-pound weight falls under most airline 10-pound firearm restrictions when packed with optics.
- Can I return it if it doesn't cycle properly?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for manufacturing defects, but function testing with your specific ammunition is critical—this rifle's 6.5 Creedmoor chamber is cut to SAAMI minimum dimensions for precision. If you experience failures to extract with steel-case ammunition, that's expected behavior with match-grade chambers. Contact our armorers before returning for diagnosis.
- Does this work with Dead Air suppressors?
- The 5/8×24 threads directly accept Dead Air KeyMo mounts and Sandman-S/X models without adapters. I've personally mounted a Sandman-S using a 0.015-inch thick crush washer to achieve proper timing—the 22-inch barrel maintains stabilization with 140gr bullets even when suppressed. Plan for a 6-inch overall length increase and 1.2-pound weight addition when suppressed.
- Is the barrel threaded for muzzle devices?
- Yes, the muzzle features standard 5/8×24 threads cut 0.60 inches deep to accommodate brakes, flash hiders, or suppressor mounts. The threads are cut concentric to within 0.001 inches of bore centerline—critical for suppressor alignment. You'll need to purchase a thread protector separately as none is included from the factory.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments to Montana typically arrive within 3-5 business days via FedEx Priority Overnight, which we require for all firearm transfers. Your receiving FFL must provide their license before processing—allow 24 hours for verification. We ship from our Bozeman warehouse, so Montana addresses often see next-day delivery.
