About this product
The Savage Arms 110 Core Predator is a purpose-built, left-handed bolt-action rifle chambered in .243 Winchester, featuring a fluted medium-heavy 22-inch barrel, a fully adjustable AccuFit V2 synthetic stock, and integrated ARCA rail for varmint and predator hunting at medium-long ranges. This rifle blends tactical adjustment capabilities with long-range hunting accuracy in a left-hand configuration, addressing a significant gap in the market for dedicated southpaw shooters. At Ironclad Armory, we recognize that platforms like these must withstand rigorous field use while consistently meeting Minute of Angle precision expectations.
What is the Savage Arms 110 Core Predator used for?
This rifle is designed for extended-range varmint and predator hunting, where shot placement on small targets beyond 300 yards is mandatory. The heavy-for-caliber .243 Winchester barrel profile allows for sustained fire without significant point-of-impact shift, while the ARCA rail interface on the forend provides secure, repeatable mounting for heavy bipods or tripod heads, essential for stationary shooting positions. The left-hand bolt configuration is a decisive feature for dominant left-eye shooters who require faster follow-up shots without breaking their cheek weld.
How does the Savage Arms 110 Core Predator compare to the Stevens 334 in .243 Winchester?
The Savage 110 Core Predator is a more specialized and mechanically superior platform than the Stevens 334 in the same caliber, justifying its higher price point. The Core Predator's AccuFit V2 stock provides comb height and length-of-pull adjustments that are absent on the fixed-synthetic Stevens, allowing for a precise optical alignment that is critical for precision hunting. Mechanically, the Savage 110's proven 3-screw headspaced barrel system offers more straightforward caliber conversion potential than the Stevens' simpler setup, making the Savage a better long-term investment for a shooter who may want to re-barrel from .243 Win to 6.5 Creedmoor. The Stevens 334 is a capable, budget-friendly rifle, but the Core Predator is built for repeatable, sub-MOA accuracy under field conditions.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded, the rifle weighs approximately 8.2 pounds, and with an empty magazine, the overall length is 42.5 inches from muzzle to the end of the adjustable buttstock at its shortest setting. The 22-inch medium-heavy fluted barrel contributes significant forward weight for stability, which is a benefit on a bipod but a consideration for carrying over long distances. The forend width at the ARCA rail section is 1.5 inches, compatible with standard Arca-Swiss clamp systems used on premium tripods.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for a first-time shooter or someone seeking a lightweight, mountain-carry rifle for whitetail hunting inside 150 yards. The 8.2-pound weight and specific left-hand configuration impose limitations that a right-handed shooter or a hunter covering steep country would find unnecessary or burdensome. If your primary need is a basic, reliable deer rifle for standard ranges, the Stevens 334 in .243 Win offers significant cost savings for that role without the specialized features.
What's in the box?
You receive the barreled action fitted into the Hunter Green AccuFit V2 synthetic stock, one 10-round detachable box magazine, the AccuFit comb height and length-of-pull adjustment kits (including multiple spacers), and the factory manual. The rifle ships from the factory with a thread protector installed on the 5/8"-24 threaded muzzle; a compatible suppressor or muzzle brake is not included and must be sourced separately under applicable regulations.
Is the Savage Arms 110 Core Predator worth it at $961.99?
At just under $1,000, this rifle is worth the investment for a left-handed predator hunter or precision rifle enthusiast who demands factory adjustability and a dedicated long-range hunting platform. The combined value of the AccuStock bedding system, the fully adjustable V2 stock, and the integrated ARCA rail would cost significantly more to add as aftermarket components to a base rifle. For a right-handed shooter needing similar capabilities, other options exist, but for dominant left-eye shooters, this package's specific configuration commands a justifiable premium.

Pros & cons
What works
- Genuine left-hand bolt configuration eliminates right-hand ergonomic compromises.
- AccuFit V2 stock provides 1.5 inches of length-of-pull adjustment and 0.75 inches of comb height travel for custom fit.
- Integrated 11-inch ARCA rail forend eliminates need for aftermarket adapter for tripod/bipod mounting.
Trade-offs
- At 8.2 lbs unloaded, weight is notable for a hunting rifle—adds roughly 2 lbs over a standard sporter barrel.
- Hunter Green stock color is specific; cerakoting for different camo patterns adds $200+.
- Left-hand configuration limits immediate resale market compared to right-hand models.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
- Yes. The muzzle features a standard 5/8"-24 thread pitch, which is the common threading for .30 caliber and many .243 Winchester muzzle devices and sound suppressors. Any suppressor mount or muzzle device you purchase must be compatible with this thread pattern, and you must comply with all federal NFA regulations regarding suppressor ownership and use.
- Does the ARCA rail accept standard Arca-Swiss plates?
- Yes. The full-length, 11-inch ARCA rail machined into the forend is compatible with industry-standard Arca-Swiss dovetail clamps found on brands like Really Right Stuff, Kirk, and Sunwayfoto. This allows direct attachment to tripod heads and bipod adapters without requiring an additional rail section, providing a lower, more rigid mounting solution.
- How long does shipping to an FFL take?
- For an in-stock item like this, processing and shipment from Ironclad Armory typically occurs within 2-3 business days. Transit time then depends on the carrier and your FFL's location, but continental US delivery generally adds 3-7 business days. You must have your chosen Federal Firearms Licensee's information ready at checkout to avoid delays.
- Can the stock be swapped for an aftermarket chassis?
- Yes, but with a caveat. The barreled action uses Savage's standard 110 long-action screw spacing, making it compatible with many aftermarket stocks and chassis systems from MDT, KRG, and others. However, switching from the factory AccuStock means you lose the integrated pillar-and-aluminum bedding block system, which is a key component of this rifle's out-of-the-box accuracy potential.
